On June 11–12, 2025, the kick-off meeting of IDEAL – Innovation-Driven Entrepreneurship and Academic Learning for Creative Industries took place in Florence, hosted at the Department of Architecture of the University of Florence.

The event gathered all 5 partners to present the objectives and activities of the various Work Packages: from management and communication to incubation programmes, stakeholder networking, and the development of training opportunities for the creative industries.

Two intense days of exchange and planning, enriched by moments of conviviality, laid the foundation for a strong and innovative collaboration.
