"Intesa Sanpaolo has a very extensive network, made up of subjects that we are interested in meeting: customers, partners, investors. Intesa helps us identify the right people to connect with and engages us in different national and international events'".
"Up2Stars was a particularly useful experience, it proved flexible in providing us with what we needed, thanks to the mentors' support calibrated to our real needs. While In Action ESG was one of the most complex challenges in terms of amount and number of applications, thanks to this participation we closed a seed investment round of 3.5 million euros".
"Having a strategic partner such as Intesa Sanpaolo in the development of a startup is fundamental, both to have access to global and widespread networking, and as a long-term collaboration for the growth of the company".
"The excellent relationship we have established with Intesa Sanpaolo Innovation Center, has allowed us to develop a high-level cooperation, where we are often invited to participate in top-tier events.

"Intesa Sanpaolo's help was substantial as it allowed us, from a bureaucratic point of view, to solve some issues that we would not have been able to solve otherwise. So Intesa will certainly be alongside us in the growth in the next states within the European Union where we will consolidate our business".
"After getting in touch with Intesa Sanpaolo Innovation Center, we participated in the Up2Stars acceleration path and in In Action ESG Climate, the initiative launched by the Life Companies of the Intesa Sanpaolo Assicurazioni Group, which guaranteed us the economic and financial resources to launch a sustainability project in 2025.".
"When we started our startup, we found crucial support from Intesa Sanpaolo Innovation Center and the Up2Stars acceleration program. This allowed us to structure our activities and participate in the Innovit project, taking us all the way to San Francisco to collaborate with American partners. Thanks to these experiences, we were able to scale the market and build the company for the future.".
"The concrete advantage of a partnership or collaboration is to find new customers or explore new markets, and this is the difficulty of any start-up. Having a partner like Innovation Center, could be extremely useful, because it allows us to make that leap that alone is very dangerous.".
