Energy and the Environment

Respyra is a device purposely designed for eliminating viruses and bacteria from the air, while it is also effective for eliminating dust, odours, mould, fungi, and pollen.

Thanks to an innovative photocatalytic purification system it can decontaminate indoor air of all pathogenic agents and pollutants through an oxidization process at ambient temperature using the oxygen present in the air and with light produced by specific UV lamps.

The company was founded in 2017 from the idea of a pool of engineers with over 15 years of direct experience in the wholesale energy and environmental markets.

Its primary mission is to spread and uphold the policies of environmental sustainability though research, development, and the spread of innovative solutions (not only technological) addressing both energy consumers and operators.

AgroMateriae was established after three years of research in the laboratories of the University of Modena and Reggio Emilia, where excellent experimental results led to submission of a patent application for WPL (2019). It was accredited as an innovative startup by the University of Modena, with the objective of ramping up the technology to an industrial scale.

Hospitality Re-sign is an innovative start-up founded for the qualitative regeneration of tourist services in sustainable terms.

Starting from an analysis of existing tourist facilities, those in disuse, and buildings potentially usable for tourism, Re-sign proposes registration on a three quality level hospitality portal.

The core concept is an ad hoc certified restyling in an integrated, innovative, and certified "network" system.

ZENIT's business idea of Smart Polycrystals is based on the production and sale of polycrystals for the solid state laser (SSL) machine market.

Existing SSL systems have high manufacturing costs and the machines are heavy and bulky. These laser beams are generated by a single-crystal that heats up locally during laser emission, causing the temporary deformation of the crystalline cell, degrading the quality of the beam and reducing its efficiency.

iFarming develops field monitoring systems based on innovative technologies. Relying on years of applied research, it introduces IoT potential in agricultural decision-making and enhances sustainable, as well as affordable and remunerative precision farming.

Neurality has realized an SaaS for analysing images and video applying artificial intelligence techniques with the aim of extracting crucial information for the businesses in which they are used.

After successful applications in the medical world, the Neurality methods are expanding to other markets, including industry and agri-food.

Rippotai combines sensory elements like sight and hearing with a philosophy based on eco-design and the use of recyclable and recycled materials.

Rippotai's activity is thus oriented along two directions:

This new company is involved in the design, production, and marketing of furnishing and fashion accessories. They develop innovations in applied physics using polymethylmethacrylate in the lighting accessories sector. The aim is to develop optical properties for optimizing lighting capacity within the limits of the standards in force.

The unique design products conceived by NICOLAZZARO implement innovations in applied physics capable of achieving new breakthroughs, with patents pending, for the protection of human health.

In vitro cell cultivation is a widely applied technology worldwide in the fields of pharmacology, cosmetics, diagnostics, and research, normally using foetal bovine serum (FBS) as a nutrition source. However, its use is subject to the limitations of high and constantly rising costs, and some ethical issues since the production process is mainly based outside of the European continent.
