I live in the Netherlands :D but am from Naples originally so I know little about Turin :'( sovvy

check this coworking space: https://toolboxcoworking.com/ there are several tech meetups of nice people and it's also hosting the local fablab: https://fablabtorino.org/

after covid there are less meetups, but I'm sure it's going to pick up again

You could checkout the polihub incubator/accelerator in Milan, most of the startup they fund are hardware/mechanics related.

there is something around universities and in Milano,Rome. Its really small scale, low pay, very high risk. I believe engineering/product based startup are more fit for the italian market and offer more exit options, mostly M&A.

In Turin there is I3P [www.i3p.it], a serious incubator managed by the Torino Politechnich
