Italian tour, awards, and other historical curiosities.

How to Defend an Innovative Idea® is an exclusive format of the Canella Camaiora law firm. It has been replicated more than twenty times and has now surpassed its seventh edition. The pilot event of How to Defend an Innovative Idea® was first proposed in 2015 at the Milan headquarters of Impact Hub, an international network dedicated to the world of sustainable innovation.

Starting from 2016, the event has been hosted in person at the main hubs of new entrepreneurship (among many, Talent Garden, TIM Space, Coaster, Sella Lab), taking the form of a national touring event with stops in the cities of Milan, Rome, Bologna, Turin, Florence, Ancona, Bari, Trento, Salerno, and Brescia. The tour has received such public acclaim that it resulted in sold-out stops (e.g., in Trento on 26 January 2017 – Impact Hub, Turin on 9 May 2019 – Talent Garden, and Salerno on 21 February 2019 – SellaLab).

The roadshow was carried out in collaboration with Valentina Panizza of Proofy, founder of the multi-award-winning innovative startup for the protection of human intellectual creations, winner of #ELIScamp 2013, CreatiFi Call1, Bando Ricerca Innovazione 2015, and the Seal of Excellence of the European Commission.

During the Startup Europe Week (SEW) in 2018, Lawyer Arlo Canella was a guest at the event held at the Promoteca Hall in the Capitoline Hill in Rome with a special version of the event.
