After the success of the first edition, ReAction – Acceleration Program by NODES is back, the acceleration program promoted by NODES – Digital and Sustainable North West, operationally managed in partnership with OGR Torino, the ecosystem agent I3P and in collaboration with Feat. Ventures . The initiative, evolved in format and content, will start in September 2025 with an intensive course that will end in November, designed to support high-potential startups in the fields of environmental sustainability, circular economy, urban mobility and sustainable mobility.
The aim of the program is to strengthen the market positioning of the selected startups, encourage the creation of strategic relationships and facilitate access to new growth and investment opportunities. The second edition expands to include, alongside the issues of environmental sustainability (Spoke 2), also those of sustainable and urban mobility (Spoke 1), contributing in a concrete way to the development of an innovation ecosystem that is increasingly integrated and attentive to environmental and technological challenges.
ReAction was created as part of the NODES – Innovation Ecosystem project funded by the Ministry of University and Research through Italia Domani and the funds of the PNRR – NextGenerationEU (M4C2 – Investment 1.5 – ECS00000036), with the aim of supporting the double digital and ecological transition, promoting advanced, resilient and low environmental impact industrial models.
The selected startups will have access to the OGR Tech hub, one of the main innovation centers in Italy and Europe. Born from the regeneration of the historic Officine Grandi Riparazioni, today OGR is a reference point for artistic, technological and entrepreneurial experimentation. OGR Tech hosts a community of startups, scaleups, research centers and over 80 corporate and financial partners internationally.
During the program, startups will be able to benefit from:
- Full access to OGR Tech spaces and services for the entire duration of the course;
- Personalized support in the search for national and European funding, with free initial assessment and access to the Invitalia desk;
- Presence of a Community Manager dedicated to facilitating connections and synergies within the ecosystem;
- Participation in events dedicated to innovation and new technologies.
Interested startups can apply by July 21, 2025. More information on admission criteria, complete program and application procedures are available on the official website of ReAction.
