Memesi took part as a technical sponsor in the first Techstars Startup Weekend AI in Lecco, which took place from 12 to 14 June 2026 at Officina Badoni: a 54-hour marathon dedicated to the development of business ideas, start-ups, artificial intelligence and innovation.
Techstars Startup Weekend is an international format designed to give aspiring entrepreneurs hands-on experience of developing a start-up: from the initial idea to team formation, from validation through to the final presentation of the project. It is a model that has spread worldwide, with over 7,000 programmes run in more than 150 countries, bringing together people, skills and diverse visions to engage in discussion and collaboration.
As a branding and communications agency, we have chosen to support this initiative because we believe that technology and innovation are of fundamental value to the region’s economic, productive and cultural fabric. In our work, which is always future-oriented, the ability to forge concrete connections between businesses, professionals, young talent and new skills remains central.
For Memesi, taking part in Techstars means contributing to the growth of a local ecosystem that is more aware, open and capable of adapting to the changes taking place. Lake Como is a region brimming with entrepreneurial energy, technical expertise, a strong work ethic and untapped potential, which we at Memesi are committed to nurturing day by day through high-quality collaborations and projects.
Initiatives such as Techstars have the merit of creating genuine spaces for meeting and exchange, where ideas are put to the test. Congratulations to all the organisers, mentors, partners and participants who made these three intense, practical and visionary days possible.
