The forced experience of smartworking during the pandemic period has highlighted how the traditional organization of work is based on assumptions that are now far outdated.
Wherever gaps exist, innovators come forward: the Osservatorio Startup Intelligence, in partnership with the Osservatorio Smart Working of the Politecnico di Milano, has analyzed the startups that offer services or tools that allow people to work more effectively both outside and inside workspaces: 371 international startups, 20 of which are Italian, funded in the last two years (as of 2019) by institutional investors.
Among these, 7 in particular have been shortlisted for their innovative contribution, and have had the opportunity to present a pitch during the Startup Intelligence Workshop, facing the audience of the Italian Innovation Manager community, including Aci, Amadori, Axa Assicurazioni, BNP Paribas Leasing Solutions, Bper Banca, Bticino, Costacurta, Credem Banca, Edison, Enel, Eni, Ferrovie Dello Stato Italiane, Gruppo Enercom, Gruppo Tea, Mooney, Parmalat, Pirelli, Prysmian Group, Roche, Saipem, Siram Veolia, Sky, Smartpaper, Sparkasse, Steelcase, Terna, TIM, Unicoop Firenze, Unipolsai, Vivigas.
The seven shortlisted startups have been divided according to the following categories: Working Activity (support to working activities), Physical Workplace (initiatives concerning physical environments and spaces) and Wellbeing (focused on the sphere of the psycho-physical well-being of the person in the working situation).
