We look forward to seeing you from tomorrow, October 25th, to Sunday, October 27th at the Maker Faire Rome- The European Edition at the Gazometro Ostiense!
We will attend to present our pilot project on impact measurement, developed by Luiss Guido Carli University and LabGov ETS as part of the CTE Roma – Casa delle Tecnologie Emergenti – Roma Open Lab project.
The project consists of a platform for measuring impacts across 9 key dimensions.
During the three days, we will present visitors with a questionnaire that represents a simplified version of our work, aimed at certifying the impact of innovators engaged in achieving the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.
If you are a sustainable innovator, come and discover your impact level, which can be weak, moderate, or strong and measure the impact of your innovation!
We look forward to seeing you at the MakerFaire, from tomorrow to Sunday, at the Gazometro!
See you there!

On 14-15 October 2024, together with Anna Berti Suman (head of research LabGov ETS) and Marijana Krstić (head of business and startup relations LabGov ETS), we attended the inauguration of the first aquaponics farm in Europe, thanks to AWARE-EU (Aquaponics from WAstewater REclamation), Horizon Europe research and innovation project.
This pilot facility, located in Castellana Grotte (BA), uses treated wastewater for aquaponic cultivation of fish and vegetables, representing a true innovation on a European scale, with significant impact and prestige.
Thanks to this technology, we can reduce dependence on natural water resources, repurpose peri-urban areas, and recover valuable nutrients from the wastewater treatment process.
An innovative project, proposed by INNOVA – Technology Transfer and Valorisation (project coordinator), which involves international partners, including us at LabGov ETS, marking an important shift for the future of agriculture and aquaculture in Europe.
