M31 was founded in 2007 by a group of entrepreneurs, university researchers and professionals with a passion for technology, coordinated by Ruggero Frezza.
Since its establishment, the heart of M31 has been its engineering team-in its 15 years of operation, the Company has carried out more than a hundred innovation projects benefiting its own startups, area enterprises and large groups.
Our vision is to support our clients in realizing their innovation ideas through the application of state-of-the-art technologies and university research outputs.
All of this embodies our “With You. Beyond.”
