🇺🇸 “C’è un’aria pesante. È la quarta elezione che vivo qui, la seconda da cittadino. La polarizzazione è forte; si percepiva già otto anni fa, ma oggi è estrema, anche perché ampiamente cavalcata dai media.” La polarizzazione è diventata estrema. Elon Musk vive lontano da San Francisco ma dietro ha la “PayPal Mafia”. Il confronto è sempre più conflittuale. Ecco cosa racconta un italiano - il nostro CEO Marco Marinucci - che da oltre 20 anni vive in Silicon Valley. E adesso aspetta le scelte economiche dopo il voto. 👉🏻 L'approfondimento di Alberto Onetti per EconomyUp - Digital360, insieme a Giovanni Iozzia all'interno dell'ultimo appuntamento di #InnovationWeekly. #USAelections #USA #politics #Tech #Technology #SiliconValley #BayArea

📸 🌉 Still time to visit the “Mind the Bridges” photo exhibit! This unique collection of metal prints celebrates San Francisco’s iconic long-span bridges and the life of Italian-American ironworker Alfred Zampa. Curated by our former Startup School Director, Charles Versaggi, the exhibit also features a selection of black-and-white prints from the North Beach Light collection. It will be permanently hosted in our Innovation Center—adding a special touch to our space in San Francisco. ⏳ Stop by before December 15th to experience it in person!
Mind the Bridges Photo Exhibit Opening Reception On Saturday afternoon in San Francisco we will officially inaugurate "Mind the Bridges", a photo exhibit of metal prints showcasing San Francisco's iconic long-span bridges, and celebrating the life of the Italian-American iron worker, Alfred Zampa. The Alfred Zampa Memorial Bridge, which replaced the 1927 Carquinez Bridge, was named in his honor in 2000 by the California legislature recognizing his contributions to bridge construction in the San Francisco Bay Area. The photo exhibit will also include a selection of black and white prints from the Author's North Beach Light collection. Below just an example. 10% of print proceeds will be donated to the Alfred Zampa Memorial Bridge Foundation college scholarship fund for high school seniors. On Saturday October 26th (4:30p-7:30p) join me and the Author Charles Versaggi at Mind the Bridge San Francisco headquarters (450 Townsend St.) Enjoy complimentary Prosecco and Focaccia from North Beach’s Liguria Bakery, and network with fellow Bay Area Italophiles. The exhibit will be then open to the public Sundays 1p-3p Oct 27 to December 15 or by appointment. I'll be waiting for meeting you in person with Uncle Charles. Can't miss if you are in town.

#Underwater 🗣️ “Noi siamo nativamente dual-use e dunque interessanti per le #startup che vogliano lavorare in questo settore. Rappresentiamo il player to be, il punto di confronto e di validazione di tecnologie che hanno possibilità di trovare applicazione all’interno del nostro portafoglio prodotti, dei processi produttivi e delle aree di business”. Così Paolo Cerioli, Direttore Innovazione di Fincantieri, collegato da San Francisco con il nostro Chairman Alberto Onetti, ha commentato l’inaugurazione dell’Innovation Antenna in Silicon Valley in un nuovo episodio di Innovation Weekly, insieme al direttore di EconomyUp - Digital360, Giovanni Iozzia 🌊 “Il nostro piano di innovazione è articolato su 5 aree; tra queste c’è l’esplorazione di nuove opportunità in senso lato e una di queste è l’underwater, un dominio totalmente nuovo. Basti pensare che il 70% del globo è coperto d’acqua, che l’80% è inesplorato e che il 95% dei dati passa attraverso cavi sottomarini. Rappresenta quindi un dominio rilevante sia in ambito civile sia in quello della difesa, e offre anche un campo più ibrido che è rappresentato dalle infrastrutture critiche”.

Che cosa sta succedendo con la finanziaria per le #startup e il #digitale? Con questa domanda insieme ad Alberto Onetti apriamo #InnovationWeekly. Mettiamo in fila alcune nuove misure annunciate: - La riforma dello Startup Act contenuta del Ddl Concorrenza - La #web tax del 3% per tutte le imprese che vendono servizi digitali - Il nuovo limite di detrazione fiscali a 8mila euro l'anno che penalizza i #businessangel e le startup in fase pre-seed e seed - L'aumento del capital gain dal 26% al 42% per gli utili da criptovalute Questa settimana si discute anche delle startup create da ex dipendenti di unicorni (in testa quest'anno c'è Klarna e dei numeri di Satispay, il nostro unicorno #fintech, che continua a crescere ma anche a generare perdite. Il bilancio 2024 sarà importante per comprendere il futuro prossimo. A San Francisco, con Alberto, c'è Paolo Cerioli , Direttore Innovazione di FINCANTIERI , che questa settimana ha inaugurato la sua Innovation Antenna con Mind the Bridge in Silicon Valley. Paolo ci racconta la complessità di un gruppo come Fincantieri, i piani di innovazione aperta, gli ambiti di operatività e l'importanza di essere un'azienda #dualuse, impegnata cioè sia nel civile che nella difesa. Un ottimo interlocutore, quindi, per le sempre più numerose startup che stanno aprendosi al #defencetech. InnovUp Club degli Investitori

🛠️ DUAL USE TECHNOLOGIES ✈️ "Posto che la #BayArea per sua natura non presta grande attenzione ad annunci o eventi autocelebrativi, la scorsa settimana abbiamo costruito un momento di approfondimento su un tema specifico (li chiamiamo Innovation Industry Talk) di scottante attualità: "#Defence Tech e #DualUse Technologies". E visto che, senza dati, si va poco lontano abbiamo analizzato a fondo questo ambito emergente, che, come gran parte delle nuove cose che succedono, i dataset tradizionali (basati su tags settoriali o tecnologici), non riescono a tracciare". 📊 Le Defense Tech Scaleup raccolgono in media (dati medi ad oggi) 67 milioni di dollari. Quasi il doppio di una scaleup che sviluppa tecnologie con applicazione puramente commerciale ($43M). Non è semplice costruire startup in questo ambito, anche in considerazione dell’alto livello di regolamentazione che connota l’ambito della difesa, i lunghi cicli di accreditamento e di vendita e le crescenti complicazioni alla exit". 👉🏻 L'approfondimento di Alberto Onetti per EconomyUp - Digital360 a valle della presentazione dell'Innovation Antenna di FINCANTIERI a San Francisco cc Giovanni Iozzia Pierroberto Folgiero Claudio Cisilino Matteo Perego di Cremnago #OpenWorld #OpenInnovation #DualUseTech

📕 "Dual-use technologies: Going Beyond the Dual-Use Divide" is the title of the new report we launched yesterday in San Francisco in collaboration with Fincantieri, supported by Crunchbase. It's a pioneering study that provides an in-depth look into this rapidly growing sector. 👩🏻💻 Our analysis, focused on NATO and allied nations, mapped approximately 60,000 technology #scaleups across 47 countries. Of these, 15,260 – about 25% – are working on Dual-Use technologies with applications across civilian and military sectors. Within this subset, 885 companies (1.5% of the total) already implement solutions for the #military or #defense sectors. This group includes 170 firms dedicated solely to Defense Tech (Pure Defense Tech) and 715 that began as civilian solutions and later pivoted towards defense (Dual-Use Defense Tech). Right now, only 5% of these companies serve both sectors, highlighting a vast potential for growth. However, in some countries, that percentage is far higher. Interested to learn more?
