Startups

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). 

AlmaPlasma is a company that aims to design, manufacture and market advanced technological solutions in the field of atmospheric pressure thermal and non-thermal plasmas, developed by the Industrial Applications of Plasma (IAP) group at the University of Bologna.

ReFuel Solutions was born out of the urgent need to decarbonize the transport sector for goods and people. A functioning vehicle with a number of years of life remaining cannot simply be scrapped due to the substantial environmental impact of scrapping and the expense of substitution.ReFuel has invented a product for such vehicles, instead adapting them to satisfy the new environmental requirements: BiodieselKit.This innovative technology guarantees maximum exploitation of the potential of biofuels.

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.

WLHemp is developing an industrial production cycle for hemp, with an integrated approach that starts with cultivation, all the way to the processing and marketing of semifinished goods.

A startup developing technological solutions for controlling insect pests, with a particular focus on mosquitoes and termites. The company applies entomological know-how to create products aiming for environmental sustainability and operative effectiveness.

We design and construct soil-less cultivation plants through customized consultation with farms, private individuals, public authorities, and schools. We aim to foster the emergence of hyperlocal production, informed resilient communities, establishing a network of virtuous interdisciplinary relations.All over Italy we experiment, inform, and train, engaging with communities online and offline to promote and spread this culture.
