A positive surprise was the <strong>funding amount, which increased by 14%, from 265 million in the second quarter to 302 million in Q3, and a +23% compared to the average of the past five years<\/strong>. It seems that for now, the venture capital sector in Italy has managed to avoid the initial cold, continuing to grow despite the absence of mega-deals. Let&#8217;s take a closer look at the October deals, with a particular focus on Made in Italy and digital transformation.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Intesa Sanpaolo<\/strong><br \/>\n    The Italian bank, which has made innovation one of its main pillars in its 2022-2025 Business Plan, has decided to invest in <strong>SpaceX<\/strong>, the American aerospace startup of Elon Musk. The American company is globally known as the only private company capable of launching a spacecraft into orbit and succesfully bringing it back to Earth.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li><strong> Qapl&agrave;<\/strong><br \/>\n    The software developed in Italy that <strong>simplifies and enhances the management of eCommerce shipments<\/strong> has secured a <strong>5 million euro investment in a Series A<\/strong> round. The new resources will be used to continue its process of internationalization in Europe, which begun three years ago: the next targets are Germany and the United Kingdom.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li><strong>Test1<\/strong><br \/>\n    One of the most innovative companies in the <strong>clean tech sector<\/strong> has closed a capital funding of 1.7 million euros. The new funds will be used to continue the <strong>development of FoamFlex<\/strong>, the <strong>patented sponge capable of absorbing hydrocarbons spilled at sea and in surface waters<\/strong>, and to expand into new markets. The startup&#8217;s main goal is to reduce the carbon footprint of productive activities through sustainable deeptech solutions to protect the marine ecosystem.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li><strong>Vaultik<\/strong><br \/>\n    The <strong>fintech<\/strong> startup active in the <strong>development of solutions for the protection of luxury goods<\/strong> has announced the completion of a <strong>2.5 million dollar round<\/strong>, led by The Operating Group. The young company uses blockchain-based digital platforms to generate digital safes, connecting consumers to luxury products in real-time.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li><strong>ArteOlio<\/strong><br \/>\n    The <strong>Tuscan agricultural company that produces extra virgin olive oil<\/strong> has closed its third investment round, with the support of Intesa Sanpaolo, Banca Tema, and ChiantiBanca, with a funding of <strong>7 million euros<\/strong>. The goal is to <strong>support the development of over 700 hectares of olive groves in Tuscany for the marketing of high-quality oil<\/strong>, produced with innovative and sustainable techniques, and to expand the project to enhance this Made in Italy excellence.<\/li>\n<p>    <strong><br \/>\n    <\/strong><\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We Wealth has selected five startups that are in the spotlight in the Italian Venture Capital market, from space to software, from security to high-quality Made in Italy<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":87094,"template":"","categories":[2253,2268],"tags":[],"collana-video":[],"class_list":["post-86837","news","type-news","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-investimenti","category-venture-private-equity"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.1.1 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>The Cold as Arrived: Has Venture Capital Also Come to a Halt?
