The Italian Innovation and Culture Hub INNOVIT successfully concluded two specialized innovation programs dedicated to some of Italy’s most promising start-ups and scale-ups in robotics, hardware, IoT, and smart manufacturing. The initiative marked a new milestone for the INNOVIT Hub, hosting two of its most technically advanced cohorts to date.
In parallel with the INNOVIT HW & Robotics program, a dedicated full-immersion track was developed in collaboration with CDP Venture Capital SGR for some of the robotics companies in its portfolio. The two-week programs opened with a Value Creation module led by Stefano Pelagallo of CDP, providing participating companies with strategic tools to strengthen their technological positioning and international readiness.
The INNOVIT cohort featured a diverse group of 17 highly innovative Italian startups. Through intensive workshops, mentoring sessions, and technical deep dives, the companies showcased cutting-edge solutions in physical AI, advanced robotics, automation systems, next-generation hardware, and other frontier technologies.
The program culminated in a Demo Day, featuring a distinguished panel of experts and industry leaders, providing valuable insights on scaling, commercialization, and global market access.
The Consul General Massimo Carnelos, the Deputy Consul General Davide Corriero and the staff expressed their strong support for the initiative, underscoring INNOVIT’s growing role as a strategic platform for strengthening Italy’s presence in global innovation ecosystems.
