GQenergy was born with the aim of designing and manufacturing eco-sustainable products. Thanks to its technology, GQenergy aims to change the way of supplying energy to any device with a battery, thus significantly reducing costs and pollution while providing greater autonomy. 

Ecoinnovazione is a spin-off from ENEA, accredited as an industrial research laboratory in the Emilia-Romagna High-Tech network. We offer companies and public authorities customized solutions for the assessment and promotion of sustainability in the environmental, economic, and social dimensions. We develop products while also addressing organizations and local territory.

Regenstech concentrate on the transformation of textile waste from fashion sector SMEs into Secondary Raw Material (SRM) applying an "as a service" model. The initiative responds to the ever more stringent European standards for waste management, offering SMEs an external service for standards compliance without requiring direct investments in technology.

T-Green Smart Solutions intends to help create and spread a culture of sustainable use of energy, promoting the use of “green” energy sources and educating for informed and efficient energy consumption. This involves improving the performance of building and industrial systems with an integrated systemic approach based on process optimization, system upgrades, and innovation.

Forme is specialized in solutions for bio-architecture and photovoltaic plants. They provide certified materials and photovoltaic energy systems for both residential and industrial contexts, also dealing with design, installation, maintenance, and technical training.

LEBSC is an innovative startup that deals with research and development for the creation of innovative materials, biomaterials and micro- and nano materials in the chemical, biomedical, environmental, dental, cosmetic fields. LEBSC uses innovative techniques of synthesis that allow to obtain new materials with characteristics identical to those that are available in nature.LEBSC provides chemical, chemical and physical, environmental, asbestos and microbiological analysis.LEBSC designed two innovative systems:

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.

Real Time OCM is a SanChip Innovation (SCI) project, an innovative start-up with the objective of helping companies who own industrial machinery, means of transport (e.g. ships), machines for producing energy (e.g. wind turbines, gas engines, etc.), and OEMs to implement predictive maintenance for their machine assets.

Relaia aspire to become a yardstick for end-to-end collective intelligence solutions. We are an innovative startup and benefit company with the participation of the University of Bologna, constructing digital instruments for a future in which the social and relational dimension is included into systems of automation, simulation, and forecasting for planning and strategies in local areas.

<!--td {border: 1px solid #cccccc;}br {mso-data-placement:same-cell;}--> The Banca della Calce (Lime Bank) offers materials and services for sustainable architecture and architectural restoration. It is a reference supplier for private citizens, technicians, and companies that strive to use healthy ecological building materials. We offer high quality lime and certified derivative products manufactured in Italy. We are based in Bologna but operate all over the country and abroad.

Founded by a University of Ferrara research group, Amon-X has evolved entrepreneurially, with strong research and development experience in the field of automatic monitoring. The company name is an acronym of Automatic Monitoring, while the X expresses its multi-sectoral connotation. As regards academic training, the team (members and partners) is composed of physicists, geologists and electronics engineers.

Monitora's aim is marketing a patented continuous real-time monitoring system for medium to large sized thermal generators used for heating buildings. The system enables detection of malfunctions or drops in efficiency, enabling timely technical interventions, with a reduction in energy consumption and CO₂ emissions.

The project was conceived to transform the relationship between the tourist sector and the environment, reducing and offsetting the negative consequences associated with visiting tourists and their accommodation, making the latter the custodians of marine ecosystems. Through a web platform and strategic agreements with hotels, individual tourists can offset their own emissions by financing measures to protect the sea and coastline.

Raiot is developing an integrated system for creating and managing energy communities, combining territorial mapping for the installation of solar power plants, a predictive meteorological algorithm for energy optimization, and an app for monitoring and sharing energy.

SaferPlaces is an innovative startup that develops digital technologies based on artificial intelligence, geospatial data, and climate models to support cities, public bodies, and insurers in the assessment and management of risk of floods and other extreme climate events.

Meraky proposes a circular economy model within the fashion and design sector, focusing on research and development of materials that have fulfilled their primary function and that are not normally used in the production of accessories.

The project called “A Tree for the Future” started as a national campaign for urban reforestation, preservation of green areas, creation of environmental education programs in schools, and activation of programs for social inclusion of fragile individuals.
