Startups

Hydrosynergy was established in June 2010 by biologists from the BiGeA Department of the University of Bologna.

In vitro cell cultivation is a widely applied technology worldwide in the fields of pharmacology, cosmetics, diagnostics, and research, normally using foetal bovine serum (FBS) as a nutrition source. However, its use is subject to the limitations of high and constantly rising costs, and some ethical issues since the production process is mainly based outside of the European continent.

Regenstech concentrate on the transformation of textile waste from fashion sector SMEs into Secondary Raw Material (SRM) applying an "as a service" model. The initiative responds to the ever more stringent European standards for waste management, offering SMEs an external service for standards compliance without requiring direct investments in technology.

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.

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.

KiRa Technology has created the BioGS-1.5 micro-cogenerator, a machine that can produce high-efficiency electrical and thermal power for domestic or small business use using a renewable and sustainable energy source: wood biomass.

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.

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.

Meraky proposes a circular economy model within the fashion and design sector, focusing on research and development of materials that have fulfilled their primary function and that are not normally used in the production of accessories.

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.

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.

T-Green Smart Solutions intends to help create and spread a culture of sustainable use of energy, promoting the use of “green” energy sources and educating for informed and efficient energy consumption. This involves improving the performance of building and industrial systems with an integrated systemic approach based on process optimization, system upgrades, and innovation.

Borgo Etico is not just a simple shop on tap. It is also raising awareness of informed purchasing, primarily through the elimination of unnecessary packaging, thus promoting the reuse and recycling of materials. This represents an opportunity to promote waste reduction at the source, by buying only the required amount of unpackaged products. People will be educated in the reuse of packaging (bags, jars, plastic containers, etc.), whilst simultaneously saving money and reducing environmental impacts.

An innovative startup that deals with photogrammetry by drone.

Alleviamo is a startup founded in 2018 on the strength of Sergio Lusetti’s enthusiasm for innovation in pig farming since 1947. 

Caramella Multimedia is a spin-off of Porrini s.r.l., operating in the transport and logistics sector.From the world of transportation and related needs comes Metropoli: a suite of GPS controls developed for the management of activities related to the mobility of workers.What distinguishes Metropoli from other GPS control systems is the use of common smartphones that do not require the installation of hardware or interfaces or other modifications.

Aims to free available resources by reducing the energy consumption of buildings.Using analysis models, Renavitas is able to evaluate the technical, economic and financial impact of an intervention on home energy efficiency, and recommend interventions for clients that quickly begin to reap benefits in terms of savings. 

Mainly aimed at companies in the metal industry who intend to reduce the time and cost of component processing by exploiting the flexibility of latest generation laser systems.
