- Woza Labs: a geo-localized platform for the smart management of information on renewable raw materials and sustainable fuels, facilitating faster and more informed decision making.
The first Moeve light up Call received more than 500 applications in the March 2025 Open Call. After the Selection day, when the various Moeve teams chose the most promising projects aligned with the challenges the company faces, the ten selected startups developed pilot projects throughout the last year and a half to validate their technologies in real environments. Due to the interest generated in the innovation ecosystem and the success of the pilot projects, the energy company is already working on designing the second edition.
