The innovative startup Monitor the Planet® based in the Ravenna area was born in 2018 and offers surveying and mapping services with the best technological instruments in the world including total stations, 3D laser scanners, drones, etc.Monitor the Planet has soon expanded to North Italy by opening in Asti and Treviso. We grew to 150 customers and became a benchmark for Italy, with over 300 projects for surveying and mapping services with innovative technologies.

Flash Innovations operates in the solar energy sector. The company develops solutions for increasing the safety of photovoltaic plants and direct current electrical systems.The product we are currently marketing, ArcoSTOP, reduces the risk of fires caused by electrical arcing.

BathBact is offered as a green alternative to chemical treatment of wastewater. A cocktail of microbes is used to degrade contaminants and recuperate the waste.Our first product is a mobile tank completely free of chemical substances and capable of breaking down waste through the action of aerobic microorganisms.

Kinsect have developed an industrial process for producing protein flour for animal feed, based on large scale insect breeding.The startup is in a sector that is growing rapidly in response to a need for protein sources. The EU imports more than 60% of the protein used for animal feed and a recent general increase in prices has been caused by growing demand from breeders, falling fish yields from the sea, expansion limits on agricultural land, and also climate change.

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:
