The network of companies within IFAB expands thanks to a collaboration agreement with Obloo Ventures, a firm specializing in venture capital and technology transfer. With a specific focus on Computational Sciences, Aerospace, Energy, and Sustainability, the company brings top-level expertise in industry, research, and investments in enabling technologies. For IFAB, this represents a strategic partnership to promote scientific and technological innovation across Italy, with particular emphasis on SMEs.
Venture capital support from firms like Obloo Ventures plays a crucial role in fostering ambitious technological development projects in the AI field. On a national scale, strategies to bridge the gap in new technology adoption among small and medium-sized enterprises are essential to making Italy competitive in AI and computational sciences. Currently, less than one-fifth of Italian SMEs have active AI projects, and only a small percentage are considering developing an AI initiative within the next year.
This is precisely where the most crucial aspect of this partnership lies: to help overcome these gaps, Obloo Ventures will support IFAB in enhancing the intellectual property emerging from IFAB’s scientific research activities. By leveraging its expertise, Obloo Ventures will contribute to fostering new ideas and creating new opportunities.
