Entrepreneur


Hi, I'm a strategic designer, entrepreneur and innovation maker, co-founder of Slow/d. I'm trying to reach an ideal condition where my professional activity is completely aimed to social impact.


I'm focused on distributed supply chains, P2P manufacturing and on the research of integration strategies between industrial systems, SMEs and local production communities.
I'm coordinating Makers Modena Fab Lab and Fab Lab Terre di Castelli, working on community development, armonizing activities among areas and curating strategic key projects with institutions and enterprises. In our fab labs we conduct research on bottom-up innovation approaches, collaborative project management and governance, open IP strategies.
I've been Senior Technology Transfer at Democenter-Sipe Foundation (first level public/private institution in Emilia-Romagna Region aimed to valorize academic research results within local enterprises), working on the development of integration strategies between the world of manufacturing, open innovation and makers.
I'm in charge as scientific curator of Fab2B, a project developed by Slowd for ASTER (the consortium among the Emilia-Romagna Regional Government, Universities, National Research Centers and the Regional Union of Chambers of Commerce), aimed to investigate new business models for fab labs and local peer-production communities.
I've been contract professor at:
- University of Modena e Reggio Emilia (2017), module of Project Management at the II level international "MuMet" master in Visual Computing and Multimedia Technologies.
- NABA (2014, 2015), New Academy of Fine Arts in Milan, Marketing and Management class, second year of Product Design curriculum.
I hold a Master in Architectural Sciences after Environmental Engineering studies and informal training in economics and innovation management.
I'm currently studying and deepening my comprehension of blockchain technology and ecosystem design approaches.
I'm often speaker in events about design, manufacturing, making and social innovation.
