ROME, ITALY, January 23th, 2013 – ACT-OR is pleased to announce the co-foundation of Best Ideas & Projects (BIP), an association born to pull new projects covering innovation, research, and technology. Based in Rome, BIP comes up from the hard work of meshing ideas and team members from a gamut of Italian regions.
Backed by its founding members’ passion and creativity, BIP is keen to cross the chasm of business, process, and technology ideas execution. Lack of approach on access to finance holds back the execution of ideas that businesses and public institutions would otherwise undertake.
Raffaele Maccioni, CEO of ACT-OR, and Gabriele Panero, President of BIP, point out that Italy – a country well-endowed with smart individuals, researchers, workers, and students – can’t wait to build local networks capable to create new high-value jobs.
As a contribution to BIP, ACT-OR vowed to share his expertise on how to drive business process to the right track with math-based tools and methods. That is saving on operative costs and greenhouse gas emissions, making a good use of financial, marketing and sales asset, and keeping risks at bay as well. Target industries would be logistics, tourism, retail, healthcare, process manufacturing industries and government. With the caveat that the management mind-set should welcome change and let innovation thrives.
BIP enables such a welcome change that is paramount to fasten the evolution of innovation-based organizations.
A Co2-free logistics model is the first BIP’s initiative named LEZ (“Logistica Emissioni Zero”). Not a few organizations pooled for a R&D grant application including Sapienza Innovazione -- a public-private consortium linking research, associations and entrepreneurs, DIAE and DIIG engineering departments from Sapienza University, an international logistics player, and ten SMEs from energy, automation, automotive and logistics industries.
LEZ has been endorsed as a “flagship project” among “Smart Cities and Communities” one of the sixteen developing clusters backed by the Italian Ministry of Research.
