Connecting Spaces: A Smarter City with the Acquisition of IO.T Solutions

In an already vibrant autumn in terms of M&A activities, Teoresi Group announces today, October 17, 2023, the successful completion of the acquisition of 100% shares of Io.T Solutions, a company in which Teoresi had previously played the role of an angel investor. 

Io.T Solutions is a Milan-based company specializing in smart building technologies and solutions to enhance work comfort, optimize building management, and reduce energy consumption. 

This new acquisition aligns with Teoresi’s strategy to expand in the smart city market, allowing the Group to extend its expertise from sustainable mobility technologies to specific solutions for intelligent buildings. 

In particular, thanks to DINA – Connecting Spaces, the software platform dedicated to facility managers. It is possible to monitor and analyze data on building energy consumption and people flows to optimize resources, access to spaces and services provided within.  

With this acquisition, Teoresi gains a valuable asset that enriches its portfolio of proprietary solutions to implement and offer to the market and customers. 

The integration of Io.T Solutions is part of a rapid external growth process that, since 2023, has been contributing to the expansion of Teoresi’s expertise in strategic and socially impactful sectors (medtech, connected mobility, smart factory), as well as in cloud and software development.

INNOVATION HACK AWARD 2023: SPOTLESS MIND IS THE WINNING TEAM OF THE FIRST EDITION

Last June marked the launch of the first edition of the Innovation Hack Award: a call for ideas conceived by Teoresi’s Innovation team aimed at all colleagues within the Group. Participants were invited to form teams and choose an area of interest among the main markets where our Company operates, including Smart Mobility, Agritech, Fintech, Smart Home, and Life Sciences. They were also encouraged to explore broader themes related to cutting-edge technologies such as AI, Machine Learning, Robotics, Augmented Reality, Virtual Reality, and Blockchain.  

THE CHALLENGE?  

To think innovatively and originally about solving a problem or improving a process. The contest took place over the summer months and led to the selection of three proposals in September by an internal technical committee composed of representatives with diverse and cross-disciplinary expertise.  

The three finalist teams were selected based on technical criteria, including project feasibility, level of technological maturity, and the degree of innovation in the solution. At the same time, marketing aspects were taken into account, such as the idea’s market value, alignment with Teoresi’s vision and business model, the ability to meet customer needs, as well as organizational aspects and project sustainability from the prototyping phase to the market launch.  

On October 7th, at Palacongressi Rimini, the finalists competed on the grand stage of Connection Day 2023 to present their projects through an elevator pitch: ideas condensed into a short speech designed to capture the audience’s attention in the time it takes for an elevator ride. In its concept, the elevator pitch is precisely that short intervention that can change your life and provide an extraordinary opportunity. With this approach, the finalist teams prepared for their seven minutes in the limelight! At the end of the time,  two additional juries, one external, composed of professionals from the research and industry world and the other represented by all the colleagues present at the event, evaluated the proposals to determine the winner. 

The Spotless Mind team, with the project MEET ME IN MONTAUK, gathered the highest score based on the average votes given by the two juries. 

The proposal develops a solution targeting the Life Science sector using Artificial Intelligence and Augmented Reality. This solution would allow, particularly elderly people or individuals facing amnesia due to degenerative or temporary situations to preserve and relive their memories. 

Virtual reality can enable a more immersive reliving of memories, while AI is tasked with managing the initial information flow, customization of the therapeutic session, and analysis of patient feedback. 

WHAT HAPPENS NOW? 

In the coming months, the winning team, in addition to the trophy received on stage, will be supported by Teoresi in terms of financial and organizational resources. Furthermore, each team member will receive a personal award for their commitment and involvement over the months. 

This initiative fits into the broader context of Teoresi’s vision towards talents within the company, promoting the spread of a creative approach to the ideation of cutting-edge technological solutions, and encouraging taking advantage of cross-disciplinary influences from various fields, not only related to the scientific domain.  

Meet Me in Montauk represents an excellent synthesis of this approach, in line with Teoresi’s mission of “engineering for human life.” 

Congratulations to the winning team and to all participants in the first edition of the Innovation Hack Award.  

The dream continues and remember that the next edition of the contest is just around the corner! 

“For us, the Innovation Hack Award and the ideation process of Meet Me in Montauk, besides being an opportunity to challenge ourselves, represented a moment to think outside the box, making our passions the project’s primary need and a way to express our know-how and personalities. Taking up the theme of Connection Day 2023, we started with a dream and, step by step, contextualized it, we saw it materialize into a well-structured solution, where every technology finds its specific place. Our driving force? Ambition and dedication.”

CONNECTION DAY 2023: Don’t be afraid, dream big!

Just a few days remain until Connection Day 2023, the annual convention dedicated to all employees and collaborators of the Teoresi Group, set to take place on Saturday, October 7th in Rimini at the Palacongressi venue. 

The 2023 edition kicks off with an ambitious invitation that will define every moment of the day: Dream Big: unleash your creativity and innovation.  

What better theme for a company that was born from a dream? This is the dream of its founder and president, Valter Brasso, who, in a balance between rationality and ambition, turned his greatest aspiration into reality. And this year, he can proudly announce a record-breaking attendance at the event (we will be more than a thousand participants!). 

The Connection Day 2023 will guide its attendees on a journey where the boundaries between dreams and reality will be blurred. After all, Federico Fellini, the director born in Rimini over a hundred years ago, once said, “There is nothing more honest than a dream,” believing that dreams were the stratagem of our psyche to access deeper truths beyond what is visible, allowing us to uncover our true passions and motivations. 

For this reason, event guests and speakers have been encouraged to dream big and share their “big” dreams with the audience, drawing inspiration from the cinematic legacy of the director. 

A journey into our aspirations and inspirations.

In the first part of the day, during the convention, exceptional speakers and guests will take the stage at Palacongressi. Starting from their aspirations, they will provide collective insights and inspirations, stimulating the audience with current and challenging themes. We are delighted to have on stage: 

  • Andrea Marchesini Reggiani, founder of Cartiera – an ethical fashion lab, will challenge the very notion of “waste,” inviting reflection on the “second chance” that both ourselves and things can have in life. 
  • Alessandro Ossola, Paralympic athlete of the Italian National Athletics Team, will guide us in redefining the concepts of diversity and inclusion, prompting us to reflect on ways to tackle what sometimes seems impossible in certain challenges. 

The roundtable with the most participants will focus on reviewing our involvement with MOST (Center for Sustainable Mobility), coordinated by Marco Bazzani, Teoresi’s Innovation Manager, together with: 

Representative voices from the business and academic worlds will illustrate the synergies between the two realms, providing us with a “future-proof” vision of sustainable mobility, especially focusing on urban air mobility developments. 

The event will also be the occasion to announce the winners of the Innovation Hack Award, an internal challenge within the Teoresi Group that engaged all colleagues in conceiving and presenting innovative solutions for the markets in which our Group operates. The speeches of the finalists, along with involvement from an external jury and one composed of fellow colleagues, will undoubtedly make the award ceremony for the most “disruptive” idea both thrilling and surprising. 

For this occasion, we are pleased to have Diletta Parlangeli as the event host. She is a journalist, presenter, and author, an expert in technologies and trends in the digital world, thanks to her experience gained during the three editions of Play Digital and her numerous collaborations in industry events. 

But when does the dream end?

The event will continue through the streets of Borgo San Giuliano, the true cinematic set of the day, featuring an aperitif showcasing local excellences and itinerant artistic performances. It will culminate in the evening at Altromondo Studios! 

Indeed, Connection Day 2023 will be a day where we strive to transform dreams into reality, shaping the future (not just Teoresi’s) into a new and brilliant form. 

Do not be afraid, dream big. 

Well begun… The first day at Teoresi from the HR Talent team’s point of view

September is the month of new beginnings: a new school year begins, business activities restart, and often new professional projects are undertaken. The new season brings an energy that encourages renewal, and in this atmosphere, we met those at Teoresi who, in their roles, assist their colleagues in their early days at the company.

Sabrina Maniscalco, Senior HR Talent Expert at Teoresi, shared her perspective on onboarding with us, some behind-the-scenes insights into her work, and some tips for newcomers.

What does your role entail?

I oversee a significant portion of the employee lifecycle at Teoresi, from the onboarding stages (starting from contract signing, the actual first day!) to skills development, and even through to potential resignations. The role I hold also serves as a point of reference, both for colleagues and their direct supervisors, for needs related to their professional growth, career path evolution, and much more.

How important is the first day?

On the first day at the company, everyone, in their own way, realizes that they have made a choice that will lead them, in the first few weeks, to experience a series of ‘firsts’: the first meetings with new colleagues, activities in unfamiliar offices and spaces, meetings with internal and external contacts, the first coffee breaks.
The first day marks the beginning of a unique work journey: what happens in the first days is crucial, whether it’s your first job or a new work experience, as it helps shape a perception that, although it may change over time, will inevitably influence the subsequent steps.

What aspects stand out to you the most about newcomers during their first days?

There are several aspects that stand out to me, especially on the day of contract signing: availability, punctuality and care in reporting any delays are valuable signals of how a person integrates into the work environment. I’m particularly impressed by those who come in well-informed, especially the youngest generations who demonstrate the motivation that guided their choice.

Why have our colleagues chosen Teoresi?

The results of an internal questionnaire confirm that 50% of the interviewed colleagues chose our company for their strong interest in our projects, the trust conveyed by managers during the selection process, and the professional career opportunities we offer.

What advice do you give to those about to experience their first day at Teoresi?

Don’t be afraid to ask: often, people tend to hold back doubts or questions, but asking is a fundamental way to learn and integrate better into the work environment. No question is too trivial when it comes to learning.
Smile! A positive and friendly attitude can make a difference in building relationships and integrating into the team.
And be curious: ask, explore, try to understand how the company operates and how you can contribute to its success. Curiosity will help you grow and stand out.
