AIKO
AIKO develops flight-proven AI software that enables satellites and spacecraft to operate autonomously — detecting anomalies, replanning missions, processing payload data, and executing maneuvers without ground intervention. Founded in Turin in 2017 by Lorenzo Feruglio, AIKO became the first European company to demonstrate deep learning algorithms in orbit. The company's modular product suite (GENE for anomaly detection, OLIVER for onboard planning, CLEAR for payload processing, DANA for maneuvering) serves commercial operators and space agencies. With offices in Turin and Toulouse, AIKO has raised €7 million and is leading the ASIMOV proximity-operations project funded by the Italian Space Agency.
Italian Tech Week 2026
Turin's flagship technology festival (7-9 October 2026), rebranded for 2026 as Wave by Vento and organized by Vento, the early-stage venture program of Exor. It gathers 1,500+ startups, 1,500+ investors and global tech leaders for keynotes, networking and pitch sessions at the OGR Torino, making it Italy's premier stage for founders to raise and connect internationally.
newcleo
newcleo develops Generation IV lead-cooled fast reactors (LFRs) fuelled by recycled nuclear waste, targeting a closed-fuel-cycle that dramatically reduces long-term radioactive waste. Founded in 2021 by Stefano Buono — previously founder of NASDAQ-listed nuclear medicine company Advanced Accelerator Applications, acquired by Novartis for $3.9 billion — newcleo has raised over $755 million to date, including $85 million in early 2026. The company is building PRECURSOR, a 10 MW non-nuclear lead-cooled test system at ENEA's Brasimone Research Center in Italy, with a full demonstration reactor planned for France by 2032 and €28 million invested in Turin research facilities.
