Objectives

The research project is aimed at the implementation of a web application addressed to startuppers and/or start-up evaluators. The solution will be able to provide structured and integrated information on the ICT / Digital sector and it will also be useful to test the validity of a business idea. The main objective is the development of a hub’s prototype able to integrate open and linked-open data. This data will be provided by both official and non-official statistics and by new informative sources connected to data revolution (i.e. specialized blogs, scientific articles, patents, websites and web pages on online social networks of innovative companies, etc.).
