MEMBERSHIP

The TLS Foundation has created and continues to implement cooperation networks in the Life Sciences field with the objective of offering incubated companies the possibility of accessing contacts and opportunities that are difficult to develop on one’s own. TLS, in particular, participates actively in the activities of the two most important associations in the relevant sector: the National Association for the Promotion of Biotechnologies (Assobiotec) and the Association of Italian Science and Technology Parks (APSTI).


The national technological cluster ALISEI promotes and valorizes – through strategic inter-institutional operations among companies, universities, and public research institutions – innovation and interaction in one of the main areas of strategic interest for Italian industry: the Life Sciences. ALISEI has a very broad shareholder base (two business associations, four national research institutions, and twelve institutions representing as many regional administrations) with a view toward becoming a protagonist and promoter of the needs and potential for development arising from the sector as a whole. Due to its nature as an association, the ALISEI cluster is positioned as a promoter of strategic development, accelerator of the transfer of knowledge and technologies from multidisciplinary research to the pharmaceutical-biomedical industry, and a facilitator of the attraction of public and/or private capital, which is essential for the development of innovative projects. The TLS Foundation represents the Tuscany Region within the cluster and has contributed to the constitution of the association and developing the strategic five-year plan.


InnovUpInnovUp - Italian Innovation & Startup Ecosystem is the association that represents the Italian ecosystem of the innovation and which brings together start-ups, scaleups, innovative SMEs, innovation centres, science and technology parks, incubators, accelerators, enablers, investors, professional and corporate firms. InnovUp works to unite and strengthen the Italian innovative entrepreneurship network, focusing on 4 main activity areas:
LOBBYING, to promote legislation favourable to the development of innovative companies
KNOWLEDGE, to increase ecosystem knowledge, in the national and international context
BUSINESS, to encourage agreements between members and matchmaking meetings
NETWORKING, to connect industry players


CONFINDUSTRIA TOSCANA SUD, Association of Industrialists of Arezzo, Grosseto and Siena, was born from the fusion of the Territorial Associations of the three provinces. Divided into three Delegations, it is the second representative reality in the Tuscan industrial system, counting over 1,500 national and international small, medium and large associated companies producers of goods and services in all sectors, for a total of over 40,000 employees in the territory of competence, which contribute to the growth and well-being of a territory equal to over half of Tuscany.

The aim of Confindustria Toscana Sud is the development of industry and entrepreneurship in the territory. For this purpose, the Association promotes collaboration among member companies and carries out an action of protection and representation of the interests of companies towards the Institutions, the Public Administration, the political and trade union world and society in general.

Furthermore, Confindustria Toscana Sud stands as a point of reference for its members by providing them information and assistance services on all strategic and managerial aspects of company life. The renewed political and organizational structure of the Association allows it to offer more and better to the system of associated companies, both in terms of efficiency for technical assistance and effectiveness in the representation of interests in the institutional deputate offices.


Confindustria Medical Devices is the Confindustria Federation which represents companies that supply and distribute medical devices to Italian public and private healthcare facilities. A varied and specialized entrepreneurial network made up of SMEs, multinationals and start-ups that produce over one and a half million innovative technologies for health. The sector can count on about 4 thousand companies that employ more than 76 thousand employees, generating a market worth 16.5 billion euros between exports and the internal market. These companies make devices ranging from surgical equipment to big diagnostic equipment; from laboratory to genetic tests to predict certain pathologies; from software for monitoring vital parameters (thanks to the telemedicine) to medical apps and dental prostheses; from services for the local area to machinery for aesthetic medicine. The federation also includes companies that dedicate themselves to the design of medical devices such as biosensors and that deal with development and research in the field of robotics and artificial intelligence applied to health, as well as the use of 3D printers used in the printing of human tissues and entire organs.


Associazione nazionale per lo sviluppo delle biotecnologieThe National association for the development of the biotechnologies represents the companies that work in Italy in the different sectors of application of the industrial biotechnologies. The head of business development of TLS is a member of the Directive Commission of Assobiotec and coordinates the activities of the Unitary Technical Commission on the biotechnologies, which has the aim of pursuing objectives that are common to the Italian science parks on themes of “seed financing”, company incubation and the international visibility of localized companies.


CEBR is a network of biotechnology specialists which support their local community with direct services such as network, incubation, partnering and cluster promotion. CEBR is managed by the members themselves: Full Members are the first point of contact for the biotechnology companies inside their own bio-community and include local networks, scientific and technology parks and incubators. Through their members CEBR developed a number of services which enrich and bring benefits to the members themselves and to the bio-community to which they belong. The main CEBR activities rule is that the communities must bring direct contributes to biotechnologies and can be implemented by all members at european level in favour of the SMEs working in the Biotech field.


Rete Regionale del Sistema di Incubazione di Impresa The Toscana Life Sciences Foundation incubator is part of the Regional Enterprise Incubators Network System that was created in 2009 through the initiative of the Tuscany Region with the objective of promoting and advancing all of the public or private organizations that offer advanced services to new companies engaged in innovation and the development of the regional economic system. The network gathers together different kinds of incubators: technological, specialized technological and generalist.


Il Parco Tecnologico Universitario dell'Istituto di Tecnologia dell'Illinois di ChicagoRetImpresa is the Italian Agency of Confindustria for Business Networks and aggregations, established with the aim of ensuring the representation, coordination and development of business networks in the national production system. Based in Rome, with an associative structure widespread in all territories and economic sectors, has supported since 2009 forms of aggregation between companies, such as the "network contract", for supply chain cooperation strengthen, the enhance of made in Italy and foster the dimensional and competitive growth of SMEs. RetImpresa works alongside national and international institutions promoting improvement policies for the aggregative phenomena and since 2018 is co-founder, with InfoCamere and Cà Foscari University of Venice, of the National Observatory on Business Networks.
