Pedius

Company (SME)

ROME, Italy

Pedius is a communication service that enables the Deaf and Hard of Hearing to make phone calls, without a third party intermediary, 24/7. We are on a mission to make calling and communications more accessible and inclusive. Users type or speak their message into their device and Pedius sends it to the contact they choose, using either the user’s own voice or an automated voice. In real-time the user reads the written translation of the recipient’s answer, thanks to Pedius’ advanced voice recognition and speech synthesis technologies. Pedius has also developed solutions for larger companies and Public Administrations: Accessible Call Centers for Deaf customers, and Work Inclusion Solution to make the workplace accessible and inclusive for Deaf employees, supporting their full participation in day to day activities. Most recently, Pedius has launched its subtitling service especially used for events, meetings, and lessons or mandatory courses.

About me

Social entrepreneur and computer scientist focused on building ventures that combine technology and social impact. I founded Pedius, an AI-powered platform originally created to enable phone calls for Deaf people and now expanding into accessible communication and inclusive education tools. I also founded Ridaje, a social enterprise that promotes social inclusion through urban green regeneration, training and employing people in vulnerable conditions to take care of public spaces.

My work sits at the intersection of artificial intelligence, accessibility, and social innovation, with the goal of creating scalable solutions that improve quality of life and expand opportunities for people often left out of traditional systems.

I’m currently exploring new models to build and scale impact-driven ventures, connecting technology, entrepreneurship, and social good.
