Intelligent Structures is a spin-off of the University of Bologna born in June 2014 from researches and professors for the Departments of Electrical, Electronic and Information Engineering and of Civil, Chemical, Environmental, and Materials Engineering. It is active in the structural health monitoring and ultrasound sensing fields for air, rail, ground and sea transportation vehicles and networks as well as pipeline and pressurized vessels. Its patent pending ultrasound sensor technology allows detecting beyond visual inspection faults.
In October 2014 Intelligent Structures won the Italian section of the Clean Launchpad, a Europen level competition for green-tech startups thus earning the right to represent Italy at the europen final in Valencia. We also won the second place in the Start Cup Emilia Romagna, and entered the italian final of the PNI (National Price for Innovation) scoring among the best four start-ups in the industrial section.
Our team is formed by four members and one advisor
