CREO is a growth path conceived by the University of Bergamo for students, linking the academic world and the social fabric to promote creativity, enterprise, and innovation.
Through CREO, UniBG students, researchers and professors, investors, companies and organizations share experiences and projects that aim to design original solutions to tomorrow’s socio-economic challenges.
CREO opportunities cultivate initiative, adaptability, and a future-oriented mindset within academia and on the ground.
How CREO was born
CREO is a multidimensional program that promotes innovation, collaboration, and personal and professional growth aimed at all players in the university ecosystem: students, researchers professors, and local organizations and businesses. The initiative takes shape at the instigation of the Pro-Rectorates for Education and Third Mission, with the contribution of the University’s various departments and coordinated by the CYFE research center.
