An innovation ecosystem built together with businesses
FermoTech stems from an ongoing dialogue between research, manufacturing, and innovation. The partner companies on our Strategic Steering Committee share our long-term vision for development, testing, and technology transfer. This concrete collaboration shapes our activities, laboratories, training, and applied projects, creating real connections between industry, skills, and the local area.
Poltrona Frau
The Adriatic innovation axis
FermoTech is expanding its reach along the Adriatic ridge with two new milestones that strengthen its technology transfer capabilities for businesses: the opening of the operational headquarters in Conversano and the framework agreement signed with the Polo Tecnologico Alto Adriatico.
The new operational headquarters in Conversano
Inaugurated in May 2026, the Conversano (BA) branch brings the FermoTech model of applied research laboratory and technology transfer to Puglia. This direct local presence allows us to support the Puglian production sector across our core areas of expertise: additive manufacturing, artificial intelligence and data science, extended reality, eco-design, and LCA analysis.
The framework agreement with Polo Tecnologico Alto Adriatico
To the north, FermoTech has signed a five-year framework agreement with the Polo Tecnologico Alto Adriatico in Pordenone, a science and technology park certified by MIMIT since 2018 for Industry 4.0 pathways. The agreement paves the way for a structured collaboration focused on regional information exchange, joint projects, European partnerships, and third-mission initiatives connecting Friuli-Venezia Giulia, the Marche region, and Mediterranean markets.
Tailored Innovation and Local Initiatives
Innovation is driven by concrete and flexible responses to market challenges. On a daily basis, FermoTech supports businesses, startups, and cultural institutions with targeted technology consulting and networking initiatives. An ecosystem of dynamic projects that translates applied research into immediate value for the economic, social, and creative sector.
