Startups

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.

MaCh3D is an innovative Material Testing (MT) platform designed for those who transform raw materials into finished products (for example, plastics, and additive manufacturing).MaCh3D is made up of:

PMFACTORY srl offers industrial support for the development of new products.We take care of the product's style, mechanical planning, simulation, production, operations and project management. We work indipendently to develop the product from its concept phase to its production; or by collaborating with the internal teams on specific tasks.

Elisium created a system called Mat.Its most innovative characteristic is the integration of vocal commands with the artificial intelligence algorithms that are becoming widespread in the very latest car models. These are combined in a product that can be fitted in any car put into production over the last 20 years. This "vehicle to everything" approach allows any car to interact with all the elements that are beginning to delineate the modern "smart city".

MilkyWay manufactures quality tools for extreme sports, transferring to this product area all the engineering skills of the Modenese mechanical sector.Customers can purchase online and communicate with one another thanks to the company's social mapping software. In this way, community discussion provides useful ideas about the creation of new products. MilkyWay facilitates the potential aggregation of users with a totally new community experience, based on online gatherings of sports enthusiasts.

Its objectives are as follows:1. the support and protection of the quality of the product2. the control and monitoring of the raw materials used in the production process3. the control and monitoring of the processes designed to reduce time and costs and improve the quality of the finished product4. the optimisation of new formulations

Provides design services and electronic systems analysis for mission-critical applications, such as electromedical equipment, transport systems, automatic vehicles, industrial vehicles and energy systems.

Minerva Systems provides system software that optimizes the design and simplifies implementation of applications that have predictable multi-critical parameters and are based on AI for the next generation of integrated systems.Minerva Systems is a startup and spinoff of the University of Modena and Reggio Emilia. It operates with a team of around a dozen people in Modena (Italy) and Munich (Germany).

Astreo is an innovative startup dealing with the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT).According to the latest data, manufacturing plants in Italy mostly run machinery of around 20 years in age.This represents a major brake on business competitiveness.

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.

Traxit have developed an IoT diagnostic platform that enables the tracing of people and things anywhere in the world. Connected telemetric devices complaint with all safety standards are used in planes, logistics, and road transport. In particular, the patented device for tracing baggage in planes is among the first in the world to be compliant with the regulations of the European Aviation Safety Agency, automatically switching to safe mode during all stages of flight.

GQenergy was born with the aim of designing and manufacturing eco-sustainable products. Thanks to its technology, GQenergy aims to change the way of supplying energy to any device with a battery, thus significantly reducing costs and pollution while providing greater autonomy. 

SmartFluidPower simulate components and systems in the world of fluid power, a discipline that deals with the generation, modulation, and transmission of power using pressurized fluids.

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

Augea Energia Srl is an innovative startup founded from the idea of creating a technical and commercial structure with integrated services for the Energy Saving and Technologies 4.0 sector. Our aim is to be a reference for companies constantly looking for innovative high performance technological solutions for improving energy efficiency. At Augea Energia we strive to develop new technologies that optimize energy consumption mainly using renewable, unlimited, free energy sources.

Fancy Pixel is a startup that grew out of experience gained by its founders in the research laboratories of the University of Ferrara. It develops web and mobile applications for all major platforms, the Internet of Things and smart devices.The main product is "LaBazza", the new community for anyone who loves a bargain. Users can report "bazze" (i.e. bargains) found in stores or online and also save money by taking advantage of the reports made by the rest of the community.
