FARERACCOLTA is a marketing project that creates a "CLEAN ECONOMY". The project aims to use a percentage of the advertising budgets that businesses invest in the communication of information and turn it into an experience that allows people to do good deeds, making savings and satisfying their own needs in the process.The value of communication is converted into products, services and technologies that improve the lives of people and the regions in which they live.

Ri.Circola is an innovative startup that develops digital instruments and strategies for measuring and reducing the environmental impact of professional activities. It transforms operating data into concrete environmental indicators, making sustainability measurable and integrable into company processes.

Caramella Multimedia is a spin-off of Porrini s.r.l., operating in the transport and logistics sector.From the world of transportation and related needs comes Metropoli: a suite of GPS controls developed for the management of activities related to the mobility of workers.What distinguishes Metropoli from other GPS control systems is the use of common smartphones that do not require the installation of hardware or interfaces or other modifications.

UP Urban Planning Ltd is an engineering company that deals in a multidisciplinary way with local urban transformation  through the use of decision support tools and urban data to integrate multiple contexts. The planning activity is always focused on avoiding the creation of a duality between sustainability projects and users behaviour, a duality that is often the source of inequity. Urban Planning is thus making use of economic and financial strategies in order to translate the idea into reality.

Minerva Systems provides system software that optimizes the design and simplifies implementation of applications that have predictable multi-critical parameters and are based on AI for the next generation of integrated systems.Minerva Systems is a startup and spinoff of the University of Modena and Reggio Emilia. It operates with a team of around a dozen people in Modena (Italy) and Munich (Germany).

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.

Reloo sets itself the objective of eliminating the informational chaos and repetitive tasks that slow companies down. We have created Andromeda, a platform of intelligent AI agents that integrate into the company infrastructure and operate on documents, files, databases, e-mail, etc. The aim is to create a team of virtual experts capable of carrying out operations on company data in real time.

Borgo Etico is not just a simple shop on tap. It is also raising awareness of informed purchasing, primarily through the elimination of unnecessary packaging, thus promoting the reuse and recycling of materials. This represents an opportunity to promote waste reduction at the source, by buying only the required amount of unpackaged products. People will be educated in the reuse of packaging (bags, jars, plastic containers, etc.), whilst simultaneously saving money and reducing environmental impacts.

Wood Innovation develops innovative production methods based on bamboo, aiming for sustainability and digitalization.By introducing new technologies (advanced glueing system, 3D printers, workstations, and software), the startup plans to improve the quality, efficiency, and competitiveness in the eco-sustainable materials sector.

eDriveLAB is a spin-off of the University of Parma that innovates within the vehicular mobility sector.

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.
