Startups

Pomodoro develops innovative web and mobile solutions aimed primarily at the Pharmaceutical and Green-Economy sectors.For the Green sector it has developed a new social network - WeCity - to spread the culture of sustainable mobility. The positive message is disseminated and promoted through the playing of a game in which users are rewarded depending on how often they use environmentally sustainable means of transport.It is also developing a new bike-sharing project whereby users manage the sharing of bicycles from within a dedicated community.

Ecocircular s.r.l. is an innovative startup that produces rubber and plastic treatment plants (even from waste) using proprietary patents and technology.

At Pinpoint we believe that in order to shape a better tomorrow, we have to face the problems of today. Manufacturing industries are facing a double challenge:

<!--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.

Zero3's services include system design, environmental consulting, production feasibility analyses, thermographs and thermographic diagnosis. They offer a product line branded 03 Stabilizer® relevant to decarbonisation, environmental sustainability, and energy transition.

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.

Dynamic and innovative expertise to energy efficiency, home automation and the production of renewable energie.

Established as a limited company in June 2010, Techno GF is engaged in the study, development and application of energy-saving software. Working on the premise that solar radiation behaves in a similar manner to the propagation of radio waves, this startup uses a sophisticated ray tracing program for the prediction of radio coverage in an urban environment, developing it to calculate solar intensity (in collaboration with the Department of Electronics, Computer Science and Systems at the University of Bologna). 

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.

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.

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.

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.

Pearfid uses innovative technology to produce RFID devices.

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.
