​The Landing Pad for Italian & European Companies in the U.S.

​We are honored to inaugurate the first Italian hub on the U.S. East Coast dedicated to supporting innovative Italian and European companies expanding into the American market.

​The Transatlantic Innovation Hub is conceived as a permanent landing pad in New York City — a place where companies can establish an immediate physical presence while accessing the services, relationships, and ecosystem needed to accelerate market entry.

​Located at 417 Fifth Avenue, in the heart of Manhattan, the Hub stands in an address symbolic of entrepreneurial ambition — just steps from where Figma began its journey before becoming a unicorn.

​Spanning approximately 300 sqm (2800 sqf), the Hub combines Strategic workspace in Midtown Manhattan with structured U.S. market entry support, access to investors, corporates, and institutional stakeholders with curated ecosystem introductions and acceleration and market readiness services.

​The Hub is conceived as a permanent operational bridge connecting Italian and European innovation with the world’s most dynamic global ecosystem — New York City.

​A platform where startups, scaleups, corporates, investors, and institutions can meet, collaborate, and generate measurable impact.
