`

Fondazione E. Amaldi is the new Italian model for applied research, technology transfer and the promotion and support of the national scientific heritage. Born in 2017 from the will of the Italian Space Agency (ASI) and from the Hypatia Research Consortium, it aims to offer a new way of interpreting applied science.

Our mission is to support and promote scientific research aimed at technology transfer, focusing in particular on the space sector. We consider space a fundamental tool for the economic development of Italy, and therefore an exceptional source of innovation and improvement for the Country.

Our vision is to represent a scalable example of an innovation accelerator best practice and a creative force of networks between enlightened private companies and the public sector.
