Portfolio highlights

  • E-Plato — Socrate is a “Google-like” search engine, but with a fundamental difference: while Google finds information on the public web, Socrate operates within a company’s private data, directly where it is installed.Our main differentiating factor in the market is the guarantee of complete data sovereignty: our clients' data never leaves theircorporate infrastructure. We do not use any external services that would require sharing data; everything happens locally, in total security. The platform can be installed on-premise, even in fully offline environments, thus ensuring maximum compliance with corporate policies and the most stringent security requirements.In addition, Socrate is equipped with specialized modules for analyzing technical documentation, such as manuals, diagrams, and procedures, which requires a very different approach compared to standard documents. This allows us to offer highly accurate search performance in complex environments, such as those typical in the manufacturing and technical sectors.Another advantage is the ability to automatically classify documents before indexing them, improving content organization and making it easier to navigate and access the most relevant information.Finally, the new Business Intelligence features make Socrate a strategic tool for the continuous improvement of corporate documentation: - Relational topic graph: allows visualization of the connections between various topics covered in company documents. - Continuous learning from the corporate environment: if the system is unable to answer a question, the user can send a request via email. The response received is automatically acquired as new knowledge within the platform, in the “Contributions” section. - When a significant number of contributions have been gathered, the system automatically generates a report highlighting gaps in the documentation and suggesting areas for improvement. - Additionally, the company can use the BI dashboard to view the thematic areas that receive the most frequent questions, thus gaining valuable insights for internal support, training, and knowledge management.

  • Clastix — Clastix is an enterprise Kubernetes infrastructure company, purpose-built to solve the operational challenges that emerge when Kubernetes runs at scale: cluster sprawl, fragile multi-tenancy, and the mounting cost of over-provisioned hardware and memory. The company's breakthrough is architectural. By combining hosted control planes with hard multi-tenancy, Clastix enables telcos, cloud providers, MSPs, and platform teams to run many isolated Kubernetes environments more efficiently, securely, and cost-effectively than traditional approaches allow. Clastix was founded by engineers who understood these pain points from direct experience running Kubernetes in production. That same commitment to quality engineering runs through everything the company builds – an approach shaped as much by Italian engineering tradition as by technical rigour. The result is infrastructure software that is functional, elegant, and highly scalable. The company's open source credentials are equally strong. Clastix donated Capsule to the Cloud Native Computing Foundation, co-founded Cloud Native Days Italy, and continues to evolve Kamaji – contributing not just code, but community and standards to the broader Kubernetes ecosystem. Clastix's platform is trusted by customers including NVIDIA and Mistral AI – organisations that operate some of the most demanding and innovation-intensive infrastructure environments in the world. Their confidence is a direct measure of what the platform can handle. Headquartered in Naples, Italy, with customers and partners across cloud, data centre, edge, and AI infrastructure globally, Clastix is where world-class engineering meets the real operational complexity of modern Kubernetes at scale.

ToothPic is an official university spin-off of Politecnico di Torino, a major engineering school in Italy and Europe, and is incubated in the universityincubator I3P, recently recognized by UBI Global as the best public incubator worldwide. ToothPic was founded by a team of 4 researchers and professors from Politecnico di Torino, and in 2018 received a seed from VV3TT, an Italian Venture Capital fund dedicated to Technology Transfer from public research. ToothPic technology is protected by 4 patents, and won several prizes in competitions dedicated to startups and twice the Seal of Excellence issued by the European Commission. ToothPic’s target is the market of authentication systems. Its technology recognizes the unique pattern of invisible imperfections that characterize smartphone cameras to protect cryptographic keys stored on devices, that are commonly used for user authentication, digital signature, blockchain related applications. The additional layer of security represented by this random unclonable feature can be obtained with no additional hardware and related costs. A Software Development Kit has been developed for Android and iOS. It can be integrated into existing third-party apps and authentication systems, allowing the device possession verification by (de)obfuscating asymmetric cryptographic keys. Users’ credentials are not stored in a centralized service provider server - representing a single point of failure exploitable by an attacker, but they are distributed on users’ devices. Hence, an adversary willing to violate those credentials should target each single user device, facilitating for service providers the migration from an on premises architecture to the cloud, because they don’t need to manage sensitive users credentials, but only their public key.

  • E-Plato — Socrate is a “Google-like” search engine, but with a fundamental difference: while Google finds information on the public web, Socrate operates within a company’s private data, directly where it is installed.Our main differentiating factor in the market is the guarantee of complete data sovereignty: our clients' data never leaves theircorporate infrastructure. We do not use any external services that would require sharing data; everything happens locally, in total security. The platform can be installed on-premise, even in fully offline environments, thus ensuring maximum compliance with corporate policies and the most stringent security requirements.In addition, Socrate is equipped with specialized modules for analyzing technical documentation, such as manuals, diagrams, and procedures, which requires a very different approach compared to standard documents. This allows us to offer highly accurate search performance in complex environments, such as those typical in the manufacturing and technical sectors.Another advantage is the ability to automatically classify documents before indexing them, improving content organization and making it easier to navigate and access the most relevant information.Finally, the new Business Intelligence features make Socrate a strategic tool for the continuous improvement of corporate documentation: - Relational topic graph: allows visualization of the connections between various topics covered in company documents. - Continuous learning from the corporate environment: if the system is unable to answer a question, the user can send a request via email. The response received is automatically acquired as new knowledge within the platform, in the “Contributions” section. - When a significant number of contributions have been gathered, the system automatically generates a report highlighting gaps in the documentation and suggesting areas for improvement. - Additionally, the company can use the BI dashboard to view the thematic areas that receive the most frequent questions, thus gaining valuable insights for internal support, training, and knowledge management.
