Where ideas find the way to becoming a business

We were enthusiastic about our technology, but it became a business idea with the support of the I.D.E.A. group. Support, commitment, passion, tons of professionalism and enthusiasm, these are the reagents of the team!

Stefania Rapino, Spin Off Insimili
Having an idea is like drawing a new region on a map

a place that is real only in our mind and that we cannot reach because it doesn’t exist yet. Here we can find people who can help us draw the plans to complete the map and make that place real.

We had an idea and today is a new reality

When we began this journey, we had an idea, which then became a project, and today is a new reality. The I.D.E.A group has been our guide and has made this transformation possible, not only with great professionalism but with openness, patience, energy and smiles. A big thanks!
