On December 4–5, THELIA took part in the Premio Nazionale per l’Innovazione (PNI) 2025 in Ferrara, joining innovative startups and research-based ventures from across Italy.

THELIA gained access to the national competition after receiving the Special Award for Female Entrepreneurship at StartCup Lombardia 2025, making the event an important continuation of the company’s journey through the Italian innovation ecosystem.

During the two-day event, the team had the opportunity to present THELIA’s vision, connect with founders, researchers, investors and innovation stakeholders, and exchange perspectives with other teams working to bring advanced technologies from research to the market.

Participating in PNI 2025 represented another valuable opportunity to strengthen THELIA’s network, gather new perspectives and increase the visibility of its approach to material perception for intelligent inspection and future autonomous systems.
