Social Innovation

Alma Virtual Lab (BO)

 

Alma Virtual Lab was founded to bring the benefits of the new immersive technologies into sectors where development of knowledge and skills is central (education, instruction, professional training), and where artistic and technical culture (museums, theatres, events) can be divulgated in an innovative way.

Eso Recycling (RN)

ESO RECYCLING is rooted in a business idea of Nicolas Meletiou, who, during his extensive experience in the sector, has always believed that refuse could be exploited to become a resource.

Long before anyone was talking about the circular economy, Nicolas Meletiou was dreaming up and designing recycling and reassessment of office and sports waste.

NonStudio (FC)

NonStudio is an innovative startup with the aim of making learning fun, engaging, and effective, casting users as main protagonists within an interactive reality.

We achieve this through the creation and development of video games, and specifically serious games (educational video games), advertgames (promotional video games), applying the methods of interactive gamification.

Weeshop Srl (BO)

Weeshop is an app that guides consumers for grocery shopping, helping them to analyse what they eat and find healthier and more sustainable alternatives, in an independent, made-to-measure approach.

More than 8 out of 10 consumers would like to make healthier and more sustainable choices, but almost 7 out of 10 exhibit a need for guidance in this process (Deloitte study, 2021).

We offer the simplest most complete instrument on the market to help them make better choices.

Alma Virtual Lab (BO)

Alma Virtual Lab (AVL) was born out an idea of Swans Tech S.r.l., a multiplatform operator involved in training for education, museums, and companies, based on the unique possibilities of the XR Manager project, applying the new enabling technologies of virtual reality, augmented reality, and mixed reality.

The platform was developed thanks to specific IT know-how and skills, with the help of Vection Technologies.

Develop-Players (FC)

Develop-Players is an innovative startup with a social commitment and a spinoff enterprise with the participation of the University of Bologna. They develop serious games designed for enhanced learning by students with Specific Learning Disorders (SLDs).

SLDs are neurobiological in origin that generally emerge at school and have an enduring impact over the lives of individuals.

Includia Srl (MO)

Includia is an innovative startup born out of the experience of its founders in the sphere of immersive technologies with the objective of helping people to improve their quality of life and ensure the integration of all individuals into society regardless of any limiting factors.

Social inclusion, integration, equal opportunities, social responsibility and commitment are the values we uphold, striving for innovation and working for technological and social transformation.

Arsoluta (BO)

Arsoluta is the first digital platform that makes it possible to find, talk to, and collaborate with artists from all over the world, exhibiting, buying, and selling artworks, without exclusivity restrictions and only minimal commissions.

The idea arose from the lack of a space where emerging artists could freely exhibit their works, equivalent to SoundCloud for musicians or YouTube for videomakers.
