Wednesday, November 20, Italgas will officially introduce the innovative companies selected through the “Cantiere del Futuro” startup call during an open event at I3P, the Politecnico di Torino’s Incubator. This event will provide an opportunity to explore collaborative prospects with the Group, a leader in gas distribution – the top operator in Italy and the third largest in Europe – and a prominent figure in the international energy transition.

Organized as part of the open innovation program “Ideas 4 Italgas”, the call was launched in March 2024 with the aim of selecting the best startups and SMEs capable of making construction activities more sustainable and efficient. The search for innovative solutions and technologies to define the profile of a sustainable construction site, thus accelerating the development of a new way to build energy infrastructure and to work more safely in the construction sites of tomorrow, led to the selection of eight young companies that will present their technology projects during the event. Subsequently, they will have the chance to start concrete collaborations with Italgas.

The event will offer a unique opportunity to meet with Italgas, not only for startups and SMEs but also for other companies in the industry, institutions, academia – professors, researchers, students – and anyone interested in exploring the prospects of the industrial transition process towards sustainability, reducing environmental impact, and promoting the circular economy.
