  • Tuduu — Tuduu.it: Revolutionizing the Internationalization of Italian Food E-commerceTuduu.it is an innovative internationalization-as-a-service platform designed to empower small and medium-sized Italian food producers to overcome the digital and linguistic barriers that limit their global reach. By providing a scalable AI-powered ecosystem, Tuduuenables these producers to seamlessly translate, enrich, and showcase their product catalogs and recipes in over 17 languages, unlocking new export opportunities across Europe and beyond.The Challenge The Italian agri-food sector is a global leader, generating over €523 billion in turnover and employing 3.6 million people. However, only 15% of this turnover currently derives from exports, and just 20% of Italian food companies have an e-commerce presence — often limited to Italian language only. This poor digitalization and language gap create significant competitive disadvantages for many small and medium producers eager to reach international customers.Tuduu’s Solution Tuduu.it addresses these challenges through a comprehensive, AI-driven digital platform designed as an internationalization-as-a-service (IaaS) model for Made in Italy food e-commerce. The key pillars of Tuduu’s solution include:AI-powered catalog and recipe translation: Automatic, scalable translation of product catalogs, recipes, and user-generated content (UGC) videos into 17 languages, including automated dubbing of video content, enabling producers to speak directly to diverse international markets.Personalized user experience: Dynamic nutrition filters allow users to explore products and recipes tailored to their dietary profiles (e.g., vegan, gluten-free, allergies), with AI algorithms that automatically determine macro- and micronutrients, and assess nutritional compatibility with specific dietary restrictions.Seamless marketplace integration: Producers set up or maintain their own e-commerce sites and access Tuduu’s ecosystem by installing a simple plugin or API feed. This approach preserves producers’ autonomy while enabling them to benefit from Tuduu’s unique international visibility and user engagement.Recipe-driven commerce: Tuduu innovates by combining product discovery with rich recipe content, allowing consumers to explore authentic Italian culinary experiences and directly purchase ingredients through integrated shopping lists and seamless checkout flows.SEO and marketing optimization: Tuduu acts as a multilingual media showcase optimized for both Google search and YouTube video discovery, leveraging AI-generated content and influencer marketing networks to boost brand awareness and export sales.Market Opportunity 54,000+ Italian food companies generate approximately €67 billion in export value annually.The total addressable market (TAM) of the Italian agri-food sector is €523 billion, with the serviceable available market (SAM) focused on the digitally mature segment estimated at €12 billion.Tuduu’s projected serviceable obtainable market (SOM) aims to capture €11.4 million in transactions within five years, with a target of more than 800 retailers and 90 million euros in transaction volume.Business Model Tuduu operates primarily on a performance-based affiliation fee of 10% on sales, coupled with a SaaS subscription starting at €99/month for access to advanced platform features. Custom projects and media services (including influencer campaigns) are offered to support brand promotion and growth.The Tuduu Ecosystem and Team The platform is built on three key scalable AI models:Product Model: Analyzes and translates product data with nutritional profiling and cross-contamination detection.Recipe Model: Automates recipe nutrient calculation and compatibility with specific dietary needs.Nutrition Model: Generates personalized nutrition plans and profiles.The Tuduu team combines expertise in food tech, software development, UX design, marketing, and business development, driven by a shared mission to support Italian food producers’ digital transformation and international expansion.Sustainability and Impact Tuduu embraces sustainability not only as a goal but as a driver of growth. By promoting healthier eating habits through nutritionist-guided recipes and improving access to authentic local products, Tuduu aligns with several United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The platform also supports small producers by facilitating their entry into global markets via digital channels, thereby enhancing social and economic sustainability in local communities.Side Project: Tuduu Nutrition Expanding the core technology, Tuduu has developed a complementary SaaS platform for nutritionists called Tuduu Nutrition. This platform enables rapid creation, analysis, and digitization of personalized nutrition plans, integrated into a mobile app for patient compliance and monitoring.Key features of Tuduu Nutrition include:Generation of tailored nutrition profiles and plans based on validated dietary guidelines.Weekly meal planning with integrated recipes from Tuduu’s extensive database.Shared and collaborative shopping lists that automatically sync with partner retailers for easy purchasing.SaaS pricing based on a monthly subscription (€29/month) plus a fee per managed patient (€2.5/month).Tuduu Nutrition leverages the same AI technology and data models as Tuduu.it, creating synergy between food e-commerce and health-oriented nutrition planning.Financial Outlook and Fundraising Tuduu is currently in a growth and fundraising phase, targeting €1,000,000 in capital with investment tickets starting from €5,000. The company projects rapid scaling with increasing revenues from marketplace transactions, media services, and SaaS subscriptions, aiming for over €11 million in revenues by 2029 and expanding its brand network substantially.Summary Tuduu.it is poised to transform the Italian food export landscape by bridging the gap between small producers and international consumers through advanced AI-driven digital tools, an engaging marketplace experience, and a strong commitment to sustainability and nutrition. Alongside its sister platform Tuduu Nutrition, it creates a comprehensive ecosystem that connects producers, consumers, and health professionals in a unique, scalable way.

  • Hotbox Food — Founded in 2016 in Maranello, Italy, a team of part time pizzaiolos and engineers were fed up with delivering cold and soggy pizza to their clients. Desperately failing to find a solution they decided to take matters in their own hands. As so many great innovations the idea was sparked by an accident when Claudio burned himself on the exhaust pipeof the scooter while delivering pizza. Aerospace engineers, cousin Anthony, long time friend Marco and Industrial Automation technician Domenico applied advanced physical principles and ingenious mechanical innovation to make Hotbox – keeping the food hot (85°C) and crunchy (steam-free) for up to 40 min of transport, recycling the excess heat from the scooter engine. Since then the team is growing and continue to innovate and work hard to make Hotbox available for restaurants and delivery teams across the globe, with the mission to elevate the quality of the food delivery industry – hot & crunchy food at the doorstep!

  • Tuduu — Tuduu.it: Revolutionizing the Internationalization of Italian Food E-commerceTuduu.it is an innovative internationalization-as-a-service platform designed to empower small and medium-sized Italian food producers to overcome the digital and linguistic barriers that limit their global reach. By providing a scalable AI-powered ecosystem, Tuduuenables these producers to seamlessly translate, enrich, and showcase their product catalogs and recipes in over 17 languages, unlocking new export opportunities across Europe and beyond.The Challenge The Italian agri-food sector is a global leader, generating over €523 billion in turnover and employing 3.6 million people. However, only 15% of this turnover currently derives from exports, and just 20% of Italian food companies have an e-commerce presence — often limited to Italian language only. This poor digitalization and language gap create significant competitive disadvantages for many small and medium producers eager to reach international customers.Tuduu’s Solution Tuduu.it addresses these challenges through a comprehensive, AI-driven digital platform designed as an internationalization-as-a-service (IaaS) model for Made in Italy food e-commerce. The key pillars of Tuduu’s solution include:AI-powered catalog and recipe translation: Automatic, scalable translation of product catalogs, recipes, and user-generated content (UGC) videos into 17 languages, including automated dubbing of video content, enabling producers to speak directly to diverse international markets.Personalized user experience: Dynamic nutrition filters allow users to explore products and recipes tailored to their dietary profiles (e.g., vegan, gluten-free, allergies), with AI algorithms that automatically determine macro- and micronutrients, and assess nutritional compatibility with specific dietary restrictions.Seamless marketplace integration: Producers set up or maintain their own e-commerce sites and access Tuduu’s ecosystem by installing a simple plugin or API feed. This approach preserves producers’ autonomy while enabling them to benefit from Tuduu’s unique international visibility and user engagement.Recipe-driven commerce: Tuduu innovates by combining product discovery with rich recipe content, allowing consumers to explore authentic Italian culinary experiences and directly purchase ingredients through integrated shopping lists and seamless checkout flows.SEO and marketing optimization: Tuduu acts as a multilingual media showcase optimized for both Google search and YouTube video discovery, leveraging AI-generated content and influencer marketing networks to boost brand awareness and export sales.Market Opportunity 54,000+ Italian food companies generate approximately €67 billion in export value annually.The total addressable market (TAM) of the Italian agri-food sector is €523 billion, with the serviceable available market (SAM) focused on the digitally mature segment estimated at €12 billion.Tuduu’s projected serviceable obtainable market (SOM) aims to capture €11.4 million in transactions within five years, with a target of more than 800 retailers and 90 million euros in transaction volume.Business Model Tuduu operates primarily on a performance-based affiliation fee of 10% on sales, coupled with a SaaS subscription starting at €99/month for access to advanced platform features. Custom projects and media services (including influencer campaigns) are offered to support brand promotion and growth.The Tuduu Ecosystem and Team The platform is built on three key scalable AI models:Product Model: Analyzes and translates product data with nutritional profiling and cross-contamination detection.Recipe Model: Automates recipe nutrient calculation and compatibility with specific dietary needs.Nutrition Model: Generates personalized nutrition plans and profiles.The Tuduu team combines expertise in food tech, software development, UX design, marketing, and business development, driven by a shared mission to support Italian food producers’ digital transformation and international expansion.Sustainability and Impact Tuduu embraces sustainability not only as a goal but as a driver of growth. By promoting healthier eating habits through nutritionist-guided recipes and improving access to authentic local products, Tuduu aligns with several United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The platform also supports small producers by facilitating their entry into global markets via digital channels, thereby enhancing social and economic sustainability in local communities.Side Project: Tuduu Nutrition Expanding the core technology, Tuduu has developed a complementary SaaS platform for nutritionists called Tuduu Nutrition. This platform enables rapid creation, analysis, and digitization of personalized nutrition plans, integrated into a mobile app for patient compliance and monitoring.Key features of Tuduu Nutrition include:Generation of tailored nutrition profiles and plans based on validated dietary guidelines.Weekly meal planning with integrated recipes from Tuduu’s extensive database.Shared and collaborative shopping lists that automatically sync with partner retailers for easy purchasing.SaaS pricing based on a monthly subscription (€29/month) plus a fee per managed patient (€2.5/month).Tuduu Nutrition leverages the same AI technology and data models as Tuduu.it, creating synergy between food e-commerce and health-oriented nutrition planning.Financial Outlook and Fundraising Tuduu is currently in a growth and fundraising phase, targeting €1,000,000 in capital with investment tickets starting from €5,000. The company projects rapid scaling with increasing revenues from marketplace transactions, media services, and SaaS subscriptions, aiming for over €11 million in revenues by 2029 and expanding its brand network substantially.Summary Tuduu.it is poised to transform the Italian food export landscape by bridging the gap between small producers and international consumers through advanced AI-driven digital tools, an engaging marketplace experience, and a strong commitment to sustainability and nutrition. Alongside its sister platform Tuduu Nutrition, it creates a comprehensive ecosystem that connects producers, consumers, and health professionals in a unique, scalable way.

  • Tuduu — Tuduu.it: Revolutionizing the Internationalization of Italian Food E-commerceTuduu.it is an innovative internationalization-as-a-service platform designed to empower small and medium-sized Italian food producers to overcome the digital and linguistic barriers that limit their global reach. By providing a scalable AI-powered ecosystem, Tuduuenables these producers to seamlessly translate, enrich, and showcase their product catalogs and recipes in over 17 languages, unlocking new export opportunities across Europe and beyond.The Challenge The Italian agri-food sector is a global leader, generating over €523 billion in turnover and employing 3.6 million people. However, only 15% of this turnover currently derives from exports, and just 20% of Italian food companies have an e-commerce presence — often limited to Italian language only. This poor digitalization and language gap create significant competitive disadvantages for many small and medium producers eager to reach international customers.Tuduu’s Solution Tuduu.it addresses these challenges through a comprehensive, AI-driven digital platform designed as an internationalization-as-a-service (IaaS) model for Made in Italy food e-commerce. The key pillars of Tuduu’s solution include:AI-powered catalog and recipe translation: Automatic, scalable translation of product catalogs, recipes, and user-generated content (UGC) videos into 17 languages, including automated dubbing of video content, enabling producers to speak directly to diverse international markets.Personalized user experience: Dynamic nutrition filters allow users to explore products and recipes tailored to their dietary profiles (e.g., vegan, gluten-free, allergies), with AI algorithms that automatically determine macro- and micronutrients, and assess nutritional compatibility with specific dietary restrictions.Seamless marketplace integration: Producers set up or maintain their own e-commerce sites and access Tuduu’s ecosystem by installing a simple plugin or API feed. This approach preserves producers’ autonomy while enabling them to benefit from Tuduu’s unique international visibility and user engagement.Recipe-driven commerce: Tuduu innovates by combining product discovery with rich recipe content, allowing consumers to explore authentic Italian culinary experiences and directly purchase ingredients through integrated shopping lists and seamless checkout flows.SEO and marketing optimization: Tuduu acts as a multilingual media showcase optimized for both Google search and YouTube video discovery, leveraging AI-generated content and influencer marketing networks to boost brand awareness and export sales.Market Opportunity 54,000+ Italian food companies generate approximately €67 billion in export value annually.The total addressable market (TAM) of the Italian agri-food sector is €523 billion, with the serviceable available market (SAM) focused on the digitally mature segment estimated at €12 billion.Tuduu’s projected serviceable obtainable market (SOM) aims to capture €11.4 million in transactions within five years, with a target of more than 800 retailers and 90 million euros in transaction volume.Business Model Tuduu operates primarily on a performance-based affiliation fee of 10% on sales, coupled with a SaaS subscription starting at €99/month for access to advanced platform features. Custom projects and media services (including influencer campaigns) are offered to support brand promotion and growth.The Tuduu Ecosystem and Team The platform is built on three key scalable AI models:Product Model: Analyzes and translates product data with nutritional profiling and cross-contamination detection.Recipe Model: Automates recipe nutrient calculation and compatibility with specific dietary needs.Nutrition Model: Generates personalized nutrition plans and profiles.The Tuduu team combines expertise in food tech, software development, UX design, marketing, and business development, driven by a shared mission to support Italian food producers’ digital transformation and international expansion.Sustainability and Impact Tuduu embraces sustainability not only as a goal but as a driver of growth. By promoting healthier eating habits through nutritionist-guided recipes and improving access to authentic local products, Tuduu aligns with several United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The platform also supports small producers by facilitating their entry into global markets via digital channels, thereby enhancing social and economic sustainability in local communities.Side Project: Tuduu Nutrition Expanding the core technology, Tuduu has developed a complementary SaaS platform for nutritionists called Tuduu Nutrition. This platform enables rapid creation, analysis, and digitization of personalized nutrition plans, integrated into a mobile app for patient compliance and monitoring.Key features of Tuduu Nutrition include:Generation of tailored nutrition profiles and plans based on validated dietary guidelines.Weekly meal planning with integrated recipes from Tuduu’s extensive database.Shared and collaborative shopping lists that automatically sync with partner retailers for easy purchasing.SaaS pricing based on a monthly subscription (€29/month) plus a fee per managed patient (€2.5/month).Tuduu Nutrition leverages the same AI technology and data models as Tuduu.it, creating synergy between food e-commerce and health-oriented nutrition planning.Financial Outlook and Fundraising Tuduu is currently in a growth and fundraising phase, targeting €1,000,000 in capital with investment tickets starting from €5,000. The company projects rapid scaling with increasing revenues from marketplace transactions, media services, and SaaS subscriptions, aiming for over €11 million in revenues by 2029 and expanding its brand network substantially.Summary Tuduu.it is poised to transform the Italian food export landscape by bridging the gap between small producers and international consumers through advanced AI-driven digital tools, an engaging marketplace experience, and a strong commitment to sustainability and nutrition. Alongside its sister platform Tuduu Nutrition, it creates a comprehensive ecosystem that connects producers, consumers, and health professionals in a unique, scalable way.

  • WAMI - Water with a Mission — Our mission is to provide clean water to people in need and give to everyone the possibility to solve the problem of water in the world, by transforming an ordinary act in something extraordinary. Why water? Water is the most important resource we have, but still today 700 million people do not have access to clean water. Most of these people livein rural and isolated areas and have to walk long hours to get the water necessary for the survival of their family. Lack of drinkable water not only endangers people's health, but also takes away a lot of valuable time from women and children who usually take care of the supply. What can we do? With every WAMI bottle, you donate 100 litres of clean water. Thanks to a simple act, you help us build water projects in villages in need and change the world one bottle at a time. Our water flows down the Italian Alps at 1600 metres above the sea level, from an oligo-mineral source known for its organoleptic properties. By choosing this brand, everyday-water-consumers have the possibility to make the change in the world in an ethical and responsible way. In addition of giving access to drinkable water to villages in need, WAMI is also committed to sustainability. The packaging is 100% recyclable and made with 50% recycled r-PET plastic, the maximum allowed in Italy. Moreover, in order to minimize the environmental impact and to contribute to the reabsorption of CO2, the start-up plants trees in Italy in collaboration with Rete Clima.
