MIW25 – Shapes of Innovation: the week that celebrates the energy of ideas

From May 5 to 10, MIND – Milano Innovation District will host the third edition of MIND Innovation Week, once again transforming itself into a living, shared laboratory where innovation takes shape between science, business, culture, and society.

Promoted by Lendlease and Arexpo, MIW25 will offer over 40 events with more than 40 partners and technical support from Istituto di Vigilanza Coopservice, Municipia – Gruppo Engineering, Bus Miccolis, and PlusValue Italy. The district welcomed thousands of visitors, including students, professionals, researchers, institutions, and citizens, with a program of talks, workshops, laboratories, installations, and open discussions.

This year's theme, Shapes of Innovation, focuses on innovation as an energy that evolves and connects: between sectors, between disciplines, between people. An energy that is tangible at MIND and that for ten years has been fueling an ecosystem capable of enabling transformative solutions.

The topics at the center of the week:

  • Sports
  • Health and Life Sciences
  • Sustainability and One Health
  • Artificial Intelligence
  • Technology and Digitalization
  • Art, Culture, and Education
  • Social Economy and Procurement
  • Startups and Innovation
  • Workplace Safety

From the world premiere of RoBee, the first humanoid robot used in restoration, to the photography exhibition "A Life for Sport," from meetings on gender medicine to artificial intelligence applied to health, to workshops with students and challenges related to safety on construction sites: MIW25 will show how innovation can translate into real, accessible, and collaborative impacts.
