What Spreentech Ventures does

Spreentech Ventures Srl is a privately held Italian green startup accelerator founded in 2022 and headquartered at Progetto Manifattura in Rovereto (Trentino), where it co-locates with the Trentino innovation ecosystem. The firm originated from the Polo Edilizia 4.0 initiative and is owned by a consortium of 45 partners spanning construction companies, banks (Cassa Centrale Banca), energy providers, and professional firms from across Italy. Its mission is to accelerate startups operating at the intersection of the construction industry and the green economy across four thematic areas: Construction 4.0, Green Building / Tech & Mobility, Smart City & Smart Building, and Circular Economy & ESG Impact.

The accelerator's core product is a 6–12 month, case-by-case acceleration program that recruits up to 3–5 startups per year through its website and the F6S platform. Selected startups receive up to €100,000 in cash and services in exchange for equity stakes of up to 15%, plus workspace, mentorship, and access to Spreentech's partner network. As of March 2026, nine startups had been funded across two cycles (December 2023 and December 2024), with a reported total portfolio value of €2.5 million. Beyond equity investment, Spreentech offers Open Innovation consulting services to established construction companies seeking digital and sustainability transformation, and runs structured professional education products including the FondaMenti digital innovation course (40 hours, €1,500) and the BIM Execution Power certification course (120 CPD credits, €2,250–€2,700), delivered with NTI Italy, UNITN, and the Order of Engineers of Trento.

Revenue is generated through three streams: capital gains upon portfolio exits (none yet disclosed), professional services fees from Open Innovation consulting, and course tuition. Distribution relies on direct program delivery at Rovereto, the F6S online application platform, partner referrals from a 45-member shareholder network, and proprietary event formats including the Next Horizons Building Conference. Leadership is provided by General Manager Luca Lucchese, President Zeno D'Agostino (appointed March 2026), and Vice President Andrea Basso.
