From May 5 to 11, 2024, innovation becomes a festival open to the public with an annual format dedicated to the major issues of our time, featuring guests from the Italian and international scientific and technological world. MIND Innovation Week speaks to everyone, from students to researchers, from new technology professionals to citizens curious to learn about the values and identity of the innovation district.

The connection between disciplines and worlds that are seemingly distant and unconnected brings people, companies, startups, the local community, and MINDers to the forefront, all working with passion and vision to make MIND Milan's innovation hub.

MIND's week dedicated to innovation features a packed schedule of events, workshops, talks, and networking opportunities. From medicine to biotechnology, circular open innovation to education, clinical research to restoration, life sciences to energy and environmental sustainability in the cities of the future, and social inclusion: these are just some of the many topics that will be explored during the various events of the second edition of MIND Innovation Week, whose central theme will be the convergence and comparison between human intelligence and artificial intelligence. 

The week kicks off on Sunday, May 5, with the eleventh edition of the world's largest and most inclusive running event: the Wings for Life World Run. Runners of all ages and abilities will feel part of something unique, participating simultaneously across the globe. The Wings for Life World Run is the flagship event of the Wings for Life foundation, a non-profit organization that funds promising spinal cord research and clinical trials.
