Startup Demonstrators – SoTecIn Factory

With a background in Materials Science and nanotechnology, I work on circular economy, digitalization, and novel design strategies starting from materials.

My organisation

Materially S.r.l. Impresa Sociale – short: Materially – is an independent Italian SME that helps companies in the development and diffusion of sustainable innovation starting from materials. Materially operates with a design-oriented approach and attention to the issues of Circular Economy and intelligent innovation thanks to a broad background of international projects and experiences. In particular, Materially acts as a generator of links and contacts between producers of innovative and sustainable materials, as well as emerging material and processing technologies, and their potential users, be they companies or freelance professionals. Materially intervenes in this relationship by developing consulting projects where innovation starts from the material and is realised through design. Materially also supports manufacturers through the promotion and dissemination of their innovative solutions via tailor made events, exhibitions and knowledge & technology transfer activities among diversified stakeholder groups belonging to educational institutions, public bodies, enterprises, end-users and civil society.

About me

Born and raised in Milan, with an educational background in Materials and Nanotechnology Engineering, my passions have always been: science and technology, innovation, design, computer science and foreign languages. The ability to build communication bridges between different cultures allows me to evaluate various issues from different perspectives, which stimulates motivation towards the continuous search for new and optimal solutions. After well-regarded experience in advisory projects supporting clients in various industries, including challenges in circular economy practices, digitalization and process innovation, I'm always into material science and innovative design-thinking strategies.
