Bringing innovation into business processes and increasing competitiveness on the market: this is the role that innovative start-ups are assuming in the industrial landscape.
Recognized as the Best Public Incubator on a global scale according to the UBI Global World Rankings of Business Incubators and Accelerators 2019 – 2020, I3P has in fact built a network able to support the entrepreneurial ecosystem to generate economic development and employment in areas and industrial chains with high innovation intensity.
This is demonstrated by the numerous successes collected in these early months of 2020 by I3P companies.
Enermove
The French multinational Michelin has chosen to experiment with the wireless charging systems of Enermove, spin-off start-up of the Politecnico di Torino and incubated at I3P to power the batteries of its forklifts with the wireless charging system.

Moving a wheelchair without hands but simply with the voice, integrating Alexa: with its project aimed at revolutionizing the mobility of people with motor difficulties, start-up ALBA Robot is one of the 7 startups selected worldwide by Alexa Fund, Amazon's 200 million dollar investment fund that provides venture capital to fuel innovation in voice technology, and Techstars, accelerator and start-up funder, to become part of the first class of the Alexa Next Stage.
Scloby

EasyRain, a company specializing in the field of technology applied to road safety, has announced the partnership with Italdesign and Bosch to complete the development of A.I.S. (Aquaplaning Intelligent Solution), the innovative active security system designed to reduce the phenomenon of aquaplaning.

TUC S.r.l, the company founded and led by Ludovico Campana and Sergio Pininfarina, recently presented the pre-industrialized version of TUC.technology, implemented on the Volkswagen MEB electric platform (provided by the group of the same name).
The patented technology TUC.technology combines in an integrated system hardware and software, different technologies and allows to have a technological plug where - with a single gesture - it is possible to securely anchor, power and connect any component that makes up the interior of the vehicle, from the seats to the planks, from the displays to the devices made ad hoc, so as to make the mobility experience tailor-made for each user.
