What Innovatec does

Innovatec SpA is an Italy-based, Euronext Growth Milan-listed Clean Tech group that delivers integrated energy efficiency, renewable energy and circular economy services to enterprises, public administration and industrial clients. Its offering is structured as a platform of specialized subsidiaries rather than a single product line: Innovatec Power handles photovoltaic design, installation and maintenance (residential, commercial, industrial); HouseVerde delivers building energy requalification tied to the Super Ecobonus 110% scheme; the Efficienza Energetica e Decarbonizzazione business unit spans biomass boilers, heat pumps, cogeneration/trigeneration, geothermal, agrivoltaic, relamping and renewable energy communities; and Circularity provides a peer-to-peer technology platform for circular economy material exchange. Following the January 2024 acquisition of Ecosavona, Innovatec also operates the largest landfill in Liguria (~2.5M cubic meters authorized capacity) for treatment, recovery and disposal of non-hazardous urban and special waste, with Polyvolt (launched January 2024) extending into PV and electronic device recovery for precious-metal reuse.

The company employs 485 people (as of end-2023), generates an EBITDA of €29M in 2023, and runs a hybrid GTM with enterprise field sales for corporate and public administration clients, a dedicated residential/SMB channel via Innovatec Power, and thought-leadership channels including the annual Osservatorio CleanTech research initiative. Revenue mechanics are quote-based B2B enterprise contracts, project-based installation revenue, professional services for waste recovery, and hardware/installation sales for photovoltaic systems. Recent operating data show 28% YoY reduction in Scope 1+2 emissions, 94% of produced renewable electricity fed to the national grid, 53,000+ tonnes of waste sent to recovery (38% increase), and €60M of planned investment in innovative material-recovery plants, positioning Innovatec to capture EU/Italian regulatory tailwinds (Super Ecobonus, PNRR) while consolidating a vertically integrated waste-to-energy-to-materials value chain.
