At Augea Energia we strive to develop new technologies that optimize energy consumption mainly using renewable, unlimited, free energy sources.

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.

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.

Our aim is to save Amazonia through a new approach to conservation, not only for ethical reasons but also for business ends. For this purpose, we create the conditions in which maintaining the forest intact generates greater economic gains than cutting it down, for both landowners and local people.

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.

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). 

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.

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

Cool Roof Company was born from the initiative of two professionals who have been working for years on passive cooling techniques for civic, industrial and agricultural buildings.

Air Factory is an innovative start-up based in Piacenza and incubated at the Urban Hub. We design and develop services to validate and certify the performance quality of environmental data from test laboratories that monitor atmospheric emissions.

Bugslab is an innovative startup founded in 2021 with the aim of producing the most sustainable animal protein on the planet.   To achieve this objective, Bugslab focuses on the production of insects for use in pet food (whole or as food components for cats and dogs) and animal feed. In the coming years Bugslab also intend to develop their own brand for the sale of products for humans based on insect flour.  

SERENGEO is an innovative startup that provides consulting and design services in the field of geoengineering. Its goal is to transfer to industry the skills and knowledge gained in university research in the fields of mining engineering, environmental engineering, rock mechanics and geothermal energy.
