Partitalia at INNOVIT, chosen among the most innovative italian companies
Milan, 17 July 2024 - From 29 July to 2 August 2024 Partitalia will be in the United States, in San Francisco, for Phase 2 of CALL4INNOVIT, a programme for Italian SMEs and start-ups active in the field of technological innovation. Specialised in the production and commercialisation of IoT solutions with advanced technologies, the company beat a selection of 70 candidates to take first place among the SMEs admitted to Phase 2.
INNOVIT is the first Italian Innovation and Culture Hub in San Francisco, promoted by the Directorate General for the Country System of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation, in collaboration with the Embassy of Italy in Washington and the Consulate General in San Francisco, and managed with the support of the Italian Trade Agency and the Italian Cultural Institute of San Francisco. The aim is to foster integration between the Italian technology ecosystem of excellence and US-made entrepreneurship, with its forward-looking approach and venture capital resources.
The SMEs Traction programme
Partitalia, which has been investing in Waste Collection for more than a decade, participated in the “Green Energy, CleanTech, ClimateTech, AgriFoodTech” call for proposals within the SMEs Traction programme for Italian SMEs operating in the research and innovation sectors interested in starting or furthering international expansion in the US.
After the first phase, delivered online through mentoring and training, the second will take place in the field, at the Italian Innovation Centre in San Francisco, with specific programmes to give companies the opportunity to meet and initiate potential collaborations with innovators in Silicon Valley. Partitalia's presence at INNOVIT is therefore strategic for seeking out opportunities, new partners and creating synergies.
IoT Solutions for Waste Collection
Waste collection is generally done at fixed times, with overflowing bins and inefficient routes. This inefficiency results in increased operating costs for waste management companies and a sub-optimal experience for the public.
Partitalia's goal is to optimise the collection, quality and traceability of the service through interconnected IoT solutions. The Italian tech company manages the development and production of its Waste Collection solutions in-house, integrating advanced technologies such as RFID, IoT and Blockchain.
The interconnected ecosystem of IoT solutions for collection includes wearable RFID readers for the waste collector and vehicle RFID readers, which ensure accurate data collection. Not to mention controlled access solutions that limit access to bins and waste separation and recycling areas to authorised users, facilitating effective waste collection scheduling.
