Industree Hub

What Industree Hub does

Industree Hub S.R.L. is a privately-held Italian strategic communication and digital transformation agency headquartered in Reggio Emilia, with additional offices in Milano and Bologna. Founded in 1992 and led by CEO Luca Franzoso, the firm operates through four specialized business units — Industree Digital, Industree Ethic, Industree Change, and Industree Brandbuild — and in 2025 consolidated Stone Digital and O-One into the parent, surpassing 50 professionals, 85 active clients, and €5M in turnover under the new payoff 'Communication and engagement for the human-centered era.'

The agency's core technology stack pairs traditional communications work with a dedicated AI Impact Consulting practice: GEO Intelligence for brand visibility on ChatGPT/Gemini, four branded conversational agents (Content, Conversion, Support, Discovery), RAG Knowledge Systems, and vertical AI Automation Agents for tasks such as contract analysis, ticketing, and reporting. It integrates with enterprise platforms through partnerships with Salesforce, HubSpot, LumApps, Magnews, Adobe (AEM/Analytics/Target), and Callimacus — used notably for the Brunello Cucinelli AI Website (2024). The firm also delivers regulated accessibility and ESG compliance work, with WCAG 2.1 / 2.2 conformance and European Accessibility Act–aligned projects (Fater, Findomestic).

Industree Hub sells professional services primarily through consultative enterprise field sales targeting large Italian organizations across luxury (Brunello Cucinelli, Maserati, Smeg), banking (BPER/Bibanca, Findomestic), pharma (Chiesi, Amgen), energy (Edison, Estra), infrastructure (Autostrade per l'Italia), retail (Scarpamondo), and consumer goods (Barilla, Panini, Purina). Revenue is generated through project-based engagements and retainer arrangements with no publicly disclosed pricing; the domestic Italian market is the primary focus, with select international client work.
