LAIF arose as an idea of an engineer, a mathematician, and a physicist who shared many years of experience in data analysis, artificial intelligence, and software development.We are experts in end-to-end development of AI solutions for small to medium-sized Italian companies that are open to innovation and want to better exploit their data with modern, sustainable digital solutions.

Basca design produce and market machines for cleaning and reconditioning mixing tanks and industrial containers (IBCs, barrels, drums, etc.). The main advantages of Basca's machines are:

Existing practice in the door and window frame market oblige final users to choose between sound shielding and air quality derived from good ventilation, without considering the energy consumption of certain mechanized systems.Sound maTERia make door and window frames applying passive metamaterial technologies that are energy self-sufficient, high performance, and made from recycled materials. Our windows can be adapted to any shape and size and enable public and private organizations to create quieter healthier interior spaces.

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.

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.

Leave The Sign is a group of professionals who work in innovation and design. We have patented an energy saving lighting system (ECO-LIGHT) and designed a product called Bill&Will that implements it. We are in the initial production stage with the intention of advancing a new and innovative lighting philosophy using natural, eco-sustainable materials. The professionals working on the project work in product design, graphics, software and hardware engineering, and handcrafts.

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.

Hipert SRL is a spin-off from the University of Modena and Reggio Emilia, Italy. It was initiated in 2020 by Prof. Marko Bertogna and emerged from the HiPeRT laboratory, where research groups were seeking to exploit the performance/power of parallel processing platforms in a predictable manner, and in application contexts in which temporal constraints are critical.

La neo impresa ha sviluppato e commercializza CELESTINO, dispositivo intelligente dotato di micro sensori che permettono il monitoraggio della quantità e della qualità di due fluidi in particolare: la risorsa idrica domestica (linea AGUA) e il carburante (linea FUEL).Celestino permette quindi il miglioramento della qualità delle emissioni in atmosfera grazie al controllo della reale composizione del carburante immesso nel serbatoio, oltre a ridurre il consumo idrico potabile tramite controllo delle quantità consumate.
