Scientifica Venture Capital is an investment holding company that selects projects and start-ups with a high technological background.
We invest in sectors such as advanced manufacturing, advanced materials, artificial intelligence, and quantum technologies, in the pre-seed, seed and early-stage phases. We believe it's never too early to assess and invest in the potential of a scientific idea.
We are interested in sparks, embryonic ideas and insights that can improve or disrupt the technological establishment.
We only select projects that have the potential to become successful companies and, at the same time, have the capacity, through their product or service, to generate a positive impact on society.
We know that Italian research can produce valuable results, but all too often, these remain distant from industrial application and are not economically valued due to a widespread difficulty in assessing their applicability and understanding their potential.
Scientifica Venture Capital was created with the aim of overcoming this problem.
We bridge this gap by providing funding for research and by equipping startups with the laboratories and equipment necessary to achieve industrial validation and complete tech transfer. By providing this dual asset - financial support and laboratories - we enable startu-ps to develop a deep knowledge base and incorporate it into products or services as technological innovation, thereby enhancing their business competitiveness.
That's why, in vision of Scientifica Venture Capital, research is a driver of economic competitiveness.
Target Verticals
ADVANCED MANUFACTURING: Using innovative methods, we support the development of complex products in order to improve processes and ensure a lower environmental footprint. The projects we finance are aimed at achieving environmental sustainability thanks to a reduced generation of waste and pollutants, a lower consumption of materials and the sustainable use of energy.
ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE: We support ideas and projects that exploit AI: this is a set of different technologies which interact so that machines can perceive, understand, act and learn, with levels of intelligence similar to the human brain. This helps people to make better decisions with a positive impact for the environment and society.
ADVANCED MATERIALS: We support projects to develop new materials with innovative or improved properties, thanks to nanotechnologies and chemical research. Our expertise is proven by the registration of various international patents.
