TECHINNOVA AND ITS PATH TO INNOVATION

FROM A CONSULTING COMPANY TO AN INNOVATIVE STARTUP INCUBATOR

Techinnova was originally founded as a business consulting firm. However, it soon expanded beyond its initial scope, progressively embracing a wide range of activities focused primarily on innovation.

Over time, the company has earned significant institutional recognitions, including certification by the Italian Ministry of Enterprises and Made in Italy (MIMIT) as an incubator of innovative startups (since 2015), as well as accreditation by the Lombardy Region as a Research and Technology Transfer Center (CRTT) within the QuESTIO system. In addition, Techinnova is listed in the National Register of Certifiers for tax credits related to research and development, technological innovation, design, and aesthetic conception.

This is how Techinnova has evolved into a hub of expertise, fully dedicated to the incubation of innovative startups.
