Kick-Off Event – Introducing KTTH-Alps

KTTH-Alps is a cross-border cooperation project running from March 2026 to August 2028. The consortium is jointly coordinated by the Human Technopole Centre for Innovation and Technology Transfer (Italian lead partner), Chelonia SA (Swiss lead partner), Politecnico di Milano, the University of Eastern Piedmont, and SUPSI.

The project aims to establish an Italian-Swiss network for knowledge and technology transfer in the Life Sciences sector. Its activities are structured around stakeholder mapping, the development of a lab-to-market decision-support system, training initiatives, a cross-border hackathon, and the creation of regional innovation hubs.

Through the exchange of expertise, the promotion of collaborative initiatives, and the strengthening of regional innovation networks, KTTH-Alps aims to contribute to a more integrated and competitive cross-border innovation environment.

The kickoff event (19 May 2026, from 10.00 to 14.00) marks the official launch of the project activities. It provides an opportunity to present the consortium and provide an in-depth overview of the work packages, while also opening a dialogue with key stakeholders from the research and innovation ecosystem.
