​The systems that hold modern life together are failing faster than we're fixing them: water, food, energy, all straining at once.

​That gap is the work. 17 Italian #CleanTech and #GreenTech companies, 7 startups and 10 SMEs, pitching across clean energy and grid resilience, regenerative agriculture, and AI-embedded industrial operations.

​Italian engineering precision meets Bay Area cleantech capital. Pitches first, then aperitivo.

​Meet a new wave of Italian innovators accelerating the transition toward a more sustainable future.

​Agenda

​4:30 pm — Registration & Networking

​5:00 pm — Welcome Remarks

​With Alberto Acito, Managing Director at INNOVIT, and Davide Corriero, Deputy Consul General of Italy in San Francisco.

​5:30 pm — Panel: The Manufacturing Gap in Cleantech

​How to keep Excellence and enable Scale - where are the solutions. The capital is moving — and it is increasingly moving toward companies that can not just innovate but manufacture: reliably, at scale, in complex physical environments, with governance built in. This is the gap that keeps promising cleantech companies from becoming consequential ones, and it is the gap that the Bay Area ecosystem is actively trying to close.
