Think Tech Italia – Made in Italy Innovations Showcase is set to return to Miami from April 22 to April 24, offering a major platform for Italian innovation and technology to connect with the United States market.
Now in its 12th year since the first edition in 2015, this three-day event brings together research institutions, universities, innovative small and medium-sized enterprises, and startups focused on high-tech sectors such as biotech, aerospace, green economy, and advanced ICT. The Showcase aims to help Italian companies and research teams build lasting scientific and commercial partnerships across the Americas.
The event’s organizers expect hundreds of participants – representing dozens of organizations – to attend, creating structured opportunities for networking, collaboration, and international growth. Think Tech Italia offers scheduled meetings, pitch sessions, and one-on-one discussions designed to foster business and research ties. Many Italian SMEs and early-stage startups see this event as a gateway to larger markets in Central and South America and as a chance to attract potential investors, collaborators, and new clients. With Miami’s strategic location as a hub between North and South America, it continues to grow as a focal point for cross-continental innovation exchange.
Support for the Showcase comes from several international organizations and accelerators, which help amplify the reach of Italian technological excellence. Participating companies can gain exposure to US-based partners and explore entry points into broader global markets, while also benefiting from tailored assistance in areas like market research and project financing.
In previous editions, the Showcase has featured hundreds of exhibitors and facilitated partnerships that led to international research collaborations and commercial expansion. The programming is structured to highlight breakthrough technologies and promote Italian ingenuity in fields ranging from artificial intelligence to sustainability solutions. Attendees can expect expert panels, technical demonstrations, and targeted networking events that emphasize real-world impact and practical business outcomes.
For many Italian innovators, the Showcase represents both a milestone event and a strategic investment in the future of their enterprises. By strengthening international ties and showcasing cutting-edge technologies, this initiative plays a growing role in positioning Italian research and industry on the global stage and accelerating the flow of innovation between Italy and the Americas.
