Alumni politecnico di milano
We’ve heard a lot about them over the past year: they are fast-growing young startups with a deep-tech core, aiming to improve some aspect of the society we live in. Major innovation outlets are covering them. What's their common thread? They were founded by alumni of the Politecnico di Milano.
Wired also mentions them in its article “10 Italian startups to follow in 2024: from artificial intelligence to new foods, from energy to communications, here are 10 innovative companies to watch.”Five out of ten have Politecnico roots, and here they are:

Soundsafe Care combines robotics and ultrasound technology for therapeutic purposes, enabling surgical treatments without incisions, in a completely non-invasive way: a new frontier in tumor treatment. Among the founders is alumnus Andrea Mariani
The founder of Foreverland Food Alumnus Massimo Sabatini, invented Freecao, a chocolate made without cocoa—it's produced from carob. For those asking why we should give up cocoa, we answer that carob is a much more sustainable ingredient in terms of water consumption: it grows abundantly in Italy, especially in the southern regions, which are prone to prolonged droughts.
