N. Legal Entity Description

1 Angelantoni The name ANGELANTONI has always been synonymous with advanced cold technology in both research and industry. ANGELANTONI's origin dates back to 1932 when the first cooling systems were manufactured at the Milan factory. In 1952 the production of environmental chambers for temperature and humidity started, rapidly followed by the first temperature-vacuum chamber in 1953. At the Milan International Fair in 1961 ANGELANTONI exhibited the first refrigeration unit that could cool below -100°C (-104°) using traditional compressor techniques without any cryogenic fluids. The results of the research of those years are some patented techniques still used in the cooling plant equipment of today. The activity was of course developing also from a geographic point of view. In addition to the facilities in Milan, ACS (Angelantoni Climatic Systems, now a division of Angelantoni Industrie) was established in Massa Martana in 1968, followed by Angelantoni Scientifica in 1981. In 1988 another important technical goal was achieved through the design and production of the first Space Simulator (vacuum down to 10-7 mbar). The group consists today of more than 700 employees approx working in 8 units: 1. ANGELANTONI INDUSTRIE SpA, located in Massa Martana (Perugia), designs and manufactures the following products: - equipment in the field of Environmental Test Chambers, Stress Screening Systems, Conditioned Shelters and Space Simulators (ACS environmental test division) - equipment in the field of cold technology applied to laboratories for biological research, universities, hospitals (AS biomedical division) - cooling plants for industrial processes and cold stores for perishables preservation (AG industrial cold plants division) - containment solutions for laboratory and industry equipment, i.e.

solar collectors and related components for the production of natural and

forced circulation implants of different size. This kind of plant satisfies different

energetic needs, with storage of warm sanitary water of 150, 200 and 300 litres.

One of EDS technologies which incresed requests and permitted to express

know-how in designing and manufacturing is development and installation of

photovoltaic plant combined with pumps to extract ditch water in areas which

are not covered by eletrical distribution network, frequent situation in Africa.

Recognition of decennal experience of human resources involved is having high

backing both from final user’s choice and by primary and secondary

stakeholders. To create a value to whom is giving us value is one of our main

goals, incitation and aim for everyday work. As with 2009, EDS started

photovoltaic plant installation (small and medium size) and produces electrical

panels needed for connections between implants and tunisian electric network.

The company has technical structures as outdoor testing desks for R&D and

development of innovative technological components.

Macroeconomic scenary for EDS foresee:

• (Geo-political) Stability in Maghreb, as looking to western administrative

model;

• (Economical) Expanding market with attraction for investments both from

western and eastern markets;

• (Social) Increased working chances and consumption capactiy for privates

and companies;

• (Investment) Development of installations for electrical energy production;

• (Investment) Increased investments in commercial, logistic and productive

infrastructure;

• (Rough materials) Exploitment of high natural radiation to maximize

productivity throughout the year.

To outline today how to compete in those areas will be of high importance for

tomorrow competitiveness in other markets, and concerning photovoltaic,

those areas are pointed out as the most attractive being rich of rough material.

EDS is a “green economy” company, its contribution wants to reach the zero

emission goal through innovation and contribution of thermic solar and

B.2 S&T QUALITY (project & goals)

Solar energy is one of the sustainable sources showing a major development margin for the future

years. Year after year a positive approach is emerging towards this technologies even by public

institution, increasing a positive trend constantly growing. This trend is increasing in all major

markets, in Europe and worldwide, thus enlarging the value of the challenge for every single

company involved. For the first time, this challenge follows environmental-friendly pattern:

research project over cold solar panels is based on the production of a thermic power generation

system through a heat pump connected to innovative “cold solar panels”, but still keeping the

chance of few experiments in the field of heat pipe and HT. That means that we will try to exploit

what we already use but in a better way, through innovative systems and applied resarch; but all

this is not enough, there was and there will be the need to improve life-styles and capital

expenditure in research to increase the weight of public and private request, that should

necessarily grow to reach the goal of planet respect. The aim that we set as an objective with this

kind of research is to help environmental sustainable and compatible goals, to be in the position,

as a company, to supply an added-value, that the single actions will not grant by their own. The

need that we foresee as a company to develop new solar thermodynamic technologies is to supply

different energetic sources, not to mention the arising reduction of carbon dioxide as stated in

Kyoto agreement. Foreseen development for this kind of technologies in mid-time, together with

exploitment of cold solar panel as Energy regain platform, is a clear input to look for investors,

since ecology-based investments have a strong appeal for market, thus can be considered as an

effective investment efficient by itself. Heat generating solar plants, combined heat and current

generating plants or the development and studies for trigenerative plants (production of electric

power, heat and cold) for small industrial and civil users, all see the chanche to spread the

proposed technology into experimental for industrial size, linked to HT pipe technologies,

development and industrialization of innovative components for process and thermal

accumulation, development and testing of analytical instrumentation for production/distribution

optimization, impact analysis in the market/country of reference, etc... First studying phase will

be over thermodynamical and mechanical modeling; two different branches of technique both

hardly connected to the subject of research, through different synergies with involved Universities

to allow testing and validation of new scientific theories. Next phase will be over structuring of the

most efficient system/model. Scientific accuracy will be a control value throughout all research,

and will be granted by deep University studies and by testing under supervision of expert partners

belonging to the industrial field of application. Output data analysis and related control phase, in

order to plan improvements, will be held from the market point of view, with scheduled timing in

agreement with the basis of efficiency and effectiveness. Ciclic control standard for project’s

research quality (fig. 1.1) will be named IMSSC (Iterative Method System of Scientific Control).

B.2.1 SCIENTIFIC DESCRIPTION OF TEAM RESEARCH PROGRAM

This project is about Energy production from sustainable sources and has the main aim to improve the

exploitation of solar Energy and its development. The project is focused on the production of an innovative

thermodynamic solar system to produce thermal power through a heat pump combined to “cold solar

panels”. Purpose of this system is to produce both warm sanitary water and environment climating, and it

is formed of four main elements: cold solar panels, heat pump, stock tank and control system. Integration

and long time safety will be of great relevance, the system will be compatible with traditional coverage but

even with modern architectural structures such as industrial sandwich cover panels and elements of urban

furniture.

Heat pump uses solar cold panels which are kept at a temperature lower than environment temperature by the system, with the aim to collect the heat and transfer it to a higher temperature storage tank (50-60 °C). Thus the project is about:

� Development of an adequate control system to regulate the installation based on energetic needs and managing of limit/alarm cases such as panel over-heating or hoar-frost.

� Development of innovative multipurpose solar panels of easy, strong and cheap manufacturing, which can exploit solar radiation but even natual and forced convective motion due to wind or air condensation.

� Research of total architechtural integration thanks to mimetic plain elements to apply to coverage, vertical structures, urban furnish or gates.

The effect of inter-operational purpose of heat pump with the innovative insallation of cold solar panels allows to combine good points and overcome single operational limits using sustainable sources. This condition might reduce installation costs for the system and might increase season performance coefficient, in order to increase a reduction of energetic needs and taking part in reduction of the emission of greenhouse gases.

B.2.2 RESEARCH METHODS

Project’s main goal is to produce a cold solar panel to desing and test. Research and connected

methods will be split in two parts consisting in:

1. Process progress Evaluation and validation of initial procedures, consisting in university project sharing and new

theory evaluation, and there will be open brainstorming between researchers to define base

theories. Those meeting will be co-ordinated by: Giuseppe Moscatelli, Paolo Romano and Giuliano

Mattavelli to those brainstrorm meeting will even participate with a recruitments to introduce

them the matter and for initial training, in order to grant equal starting points towards research.

Chosen theories and selected prototyping phase standards will be the base to build project plans

and expectations, to sum up into research goals. A definitive research schedule will be defined

after evaluation of useful expectations to create a method both effective and practical for

university testing. This will be set with contribution of all partners and structured based on related

roles, by dividing the “pure theory” into goals and activities for every single researcher, through

boost incentives and awarding methods.

Work plan will provide check-limits through the identification of discrepancy values of measuring

data and introduction of new contextual informations, which will be of great relevance to set

secondary goals for internal managers. This kind of planning will grant support to choice system

and in parallel will be useful to focus on deadlines through interactive check. Structuring phase for

future planning and operational program schedule will arise from objective and checked data,

introduced by team comparison to evaluate points of view through brainstorming strategies.

9 luglio 2009

Part B – di 32

There will be the need to be coherent to strategy: measures coming from sharing and cooperation

will push the single researcher to focus over basic goals.

“PURE” THEORICAL IDEA

That is the idea arising from comparison/opposition between opposite scientific points of view

and opinions. In this way it is possible to merge the latest scientific researches into development

and innovation, mainly from a practical point of view. In parallel, research group will evaluate

improvements and innovations to patent.

2. Product progress thermodynamic solar system for the production of thermal power through heat pump combined with “cold solar panels”.

- Test implementation in “maximum efficiency” modeling

Preliminary phase to test technical executives, activity introduction, problem solving,

evaluation of theorical master for effetive yield and corrections. To this evaluation

phase will follow a first control phase (A), where to evaluate direct discrepancy (given

by effective variation between T0 and T1 , where T0 is the “pure” idea as arose from

preliminary brainstorming, and T1 is effective implementation) and a second phase (B)

where to evaluate differred discrepancy, that means effective strenght of theorical

base after introducing modifications (FIG 1.2).

FIG.1.2

- Discrepancy control phase compared to theorical expectations

Phase included in the scheme, will be structured in reports applied to every goal

connected to a single working step. After output evaluation, technical-practical

problems may arise; in those peculiar case, implemented control system will supply

enough flexibility to grant a revision of the standards used to realize goals.

- IN CASE OF POSITIVE VERIFICATION AND RESULT VALIDATION

- Prototyping and Modeling

Research system and control and evaluation system will find a group of alternatives to

test in order to experiment theorical models with higher yield, always keeping under

9 luglio 2009

Part B – di 32

control a good economical efficiency. Depending on standards and goals, yield,

energetic efficiency, rough material cost, manufacturing limits, the first mass

produced cold solar panel will be realized.

- Study evaluation and sample market testing

Target market analysis and supplier avaliability will be checked, and economic impact

of the investment as highlighted in researcher’s identified output will be evaluated.

In this step, adaptation of research phase towards industrial production will be led by

key figures of Angelantoni, DIS, and EDS, along with expert recruitments to take

knowledge to equal levels. Market analysis will evaluate suitability of the product to

present and future potential customers and will highlight proper manufacturing

location based on suppliers, local economy, goals and lobbying.

- Production start-up evaluation, economic impact. Best-minimum dimensions.

Based on consumer testing, market analysis and statistics, there will be an evaluation

over the chance of loan capitals in the effective selling phase, with timing and

scheduling. In the mean time best minimum dimensions will be deeply studied.

Thus, all research phase will be evaluated through strict control criteria, established by

implemented standards system named IMSSC (Iterative Method System of Scientific Control).

Increased performances of the panel compared to traditional photovoltaic systems will grant –at

the end of this research- a further exploitment of solar radiation and electric consumption saving.

Thus, research will be routed to implement this two solutions.

B.2.3 INNOVATION & STATE OF THE ART

Innovative research implemented in this project provides for both product and process development. Project innovation is in the merge of heat pump with cold solar panels. The solution considers that solar modules will be dedicated to heat exchange on evaporation side and that a control system will keep the panel at a temperature lower than environment; to do so, even heat adsorption solutions and trasmission without dissipation (Heat Pipe) will be analyzed. This allows:

� Energy amount from external air but even from solar radiation and forced convention due to wind action.

� Solar panel high conversion efficiency. � Function and installation easyness for cold solar panels compared to presently used

solutions. Traditional compression heat pumps are different for environmental “free” source to take thermal power to transfer into high temperature storage. Both in present and traditional technologies, thermal exchange on evaporation side is made by:

• External air or civil/industrial installation air, through wing-battery that will not exploit any solar radiation.

9 luglio 2009

Part B – di 32

� Ground or deep water, through fluid exchanger, with major problems of thermal pollution of water tables.

� Earth, through geo-thermal probes, with high costs due to digs and trills. Cold solar panels work at temperatures lower than environment temperature, thus are not affected by thermic leak typical for traditional solar collectors which directly heat the fluid. In this way, there is no need to use typical transparent covers to induce “green house effect” or to use insulating materials, thus granting an easy, versatile and cheap product. High innovation of the project allows to use cold solar panels as architecture-integrated elements. The chance to use a reversible heat pump with yearly cycle and the proper positioning of solar cold panels in key positions of the building will permit to climate the environment both in summer and winter. Thus the company considers that this project has a huge innovative push, considering the benefit arising from optimization of two different systems such as heat pump and solar plant, with architectural integration in addition.

B.3 KNOWLEDGE, TRANSFER, RESEARCH PROGRAM

Sharing between individuals of research and their knowledge and skills is a key factor for

succeeding the project and has a main role to manage knowledge cycle (acquiring or producing –

encoding – transfer – transform or diffusion). Key skills tranfer plays an original role both for

partner companies and universities, and its quickness involves a strong need for new knowledge to

overcome the aging of the previous ones. Main idea for structuring International group is to use an

integrated approach to grant production to be extended, shared, open and to enlarge the front of

transfer-knowledge cycle to slow down its aging through shared cooperation. This innovative

managing system for transfer and sharing of research program is named “FAT CIRCLE” (Fig. 1.3).

Main idea is to share a large amount of informations to manage in parallel through informatic network to connect all partners defined “net-work”. This network will highlight main responsible researchers for the project and the coordinating company. DIS has the role of strategy center in this system, determined by the following functions:

• Find a business idea involving all partners

• Stimulate development of skills for partners, granting for knowledge sharing and development of innovation

• Integrate partner’s tasks in various steps

• Inform about interactivity and feedback. “FAT CIRCLE” (Fig. 1.3) referred to individual skills is well determined and essential to gain competitive advantages, since cooperation allows to develop themes which are not treaten individually inside native environment. Large resources are needed due to complexity in the environment and system:

Environmental and system difficulties determined by:

- Structure modifications required and evaluation of offer strategy; - Manufacturing, assembly, market system changes; - Hard to foresee time of innovation compared to technologic evolution, laws and

market; - Need to face expert specialists or competitors who succeeded testing innovation.

9 luglio 2009

Part B – di 32

Solution to difficulties -> companies cooperation

Trough strategic partnership it is possible to:

- Exploit learning potential from partners; - Knowledge and skills generation through interaction.

Main group will manage implementation of technical culture diffusion models, work, safety, privacy, IPR selling. Required skills for specific roles will be implemented trough external recuitments who will supply: assisted workshops, frontdesk lessons, work team lessons. Inside “FAT CIRCLE”(Fig. 1.3.) there will be specific project meetings where the entire research team will experience training to melt the group. This kind of union will be essential in the next working phase.

(Fig 1.3.)

Sharing program will go through an initial phase where single researchers will increase and improve their knowledge, and a final phase where knowledge will be extended directly to the group. It is necessary to give value to human factor and to exchange, and it will ask for care in those two phases. During the project, the informatic management will update and connect the partners or the departments of the single institutions, granting sharing and continuous updating.

B.4 REALIZATION

First studies about sun-assisted heat pumps go back in 1950’s by Greenfield and John, who patented “Solar and convection assisted heat pump system“, with the limit of working only with direct solar radiation. Only in the last decades technology innovation evolved in the direction to develop those high efficiency heating systems. Some technical novelties led the pathway to develop those innovative systems within HT piping, such as: effcient thermodynamic machines, environment-safe cooling fluids, control instruments for best use, selected materials to exploit sun radiation at its highest potential. Innovations are well known by scientific community, but at the moment are not available in the market except few experimental pilot plants which grant good results but high intallation costs. Use innovation of simple and cheap solar cold panels as evaporation elements integrated in the architecture would deminish installation costs, pushing for diffusion of this kind of systems, thus reducing consumption of primary Energy sources for climate needs and warm sanitary water production.Thus technological progress as proposed by this project is a deep modification of present plant philosophy and combines heat pump plants and cold panels thermic solar plants in order to highlight positive aspects and minimize negative ones. Skills of company’s developing team and availability of new technologies to support project with proficiency both grant a high degree of viability for the system, so granting high Energy saving and reduction of polluting emissions.

B.4.1 CONNECTIONS BETWEEN HOST CAPABILITY AND SUBSTAIN DIMENSIONS

The chance to merge useful effects of heat pump systems and thermic solar plants allows to improve season performance coefficient of the new product compared to traditional ones. Heat pump is a system capable to recover heat from a low temperature thermic well (between 5 and 10°C), such as environment air, groundwater or earth subsoil, and transfer it to a high temperature one (between 50 and 60°C) such as warm water storage tank. System yield is affected by cold well temperature and gets worse as it decreases, even if new studies on heat pipes might open new ways.

9 luglio 2009

Part B – di 32

To this purpose, the proposed project allows to exploit in a combined way external environment air and forced wind convection, in order to allow the system to work all day long to take heat from external environment and transfer to warm water storage. Innovation can introduce high performance improvements, since heat pumps usually grant season performance coefficient between 3 and 3.5, while this new cold solar panel system reaches minimum values between 4 and 4.5. This means that for each power unit supplied to the system, it is possible to gain at least 4 thermal units to satisfy energetic needs.Integration with a further photovoltaic installation to produce electric power needed by heat pump, will introduce a further Energy saving, thus increasing season performance coefficient and limitating our dependency from fossil fuels.

B.4.2 ADVANTAGES FROM PARTNERSHIP SYNERGY

Outlined group (secondment e recruitments) has all tasks and skills to realize the system. Professional experience achieved by individuals is complimentary to product realization and product development. It is necessary to exploit partnership potentials for high profile of human and instrumental resources dedicated to develop the project. The project will ensure to the team to aquire new tasks about realization, managing and control thermodynamic machines such as heat pumps connected to solar, thermic and photovoltaic plants. For the project the following human resources are needed:

� Electronic Engineering: thermic and photovoltaic dedicated units. Activity will be to integrate experimental tests for managing thermic solar and photovoltaic installations.

� Thermo-technical Engineering: managing units to follow research activities and related experiments over thermic solar components and their application on photovoltaic modules. Research and development activities will be supported by experiments thanks to the presence of a test laboratory inside one of the partner’s factory.

� Mechanical Engineering: Theorical and technical unit for civil and industrial background. Research activity will be over innovative integration of thermic solar collector in architectural elements.

� Mechanical Engineering (energetic department): working unit for development and production with constant update for new market technologies for prototypes.

� Economy, planning and control: working units for system analysis after studying: rough materials, suppliers, operational costs, human resources, company organization, marketing strategies, manufacturing planning.

Acquired experience will completely be shared in order to grant proper market effect and diffusion of the innovative system. The project is a real chance to acquire and enforce managing skills over three different plant philosophies: heat pump, cold solar panels and photovoltaic, or even four considering HT pipes.

B.4.3 REQUISITE OF OTC MEMBERS PARTECIPATION

Development of:

• Solar thermic collectors made of innovative materials,

• Aluminium captating element with titanium treatment to maximize solar radiation adsorption,

• Containing box, one-piece fiberglass through RTM molding,

• Temperature trasmission studies with no-dissipation thanks to heat pipe All require big dimension producing sites to lower costs and allow an attractive final pricing for the market, especially for private one. The will to produce in OTC country is not an exploitment for suffering area, hence a medium for solidarity and progress. The choice to open EDS as a partner is a signal of tasks and ideas that even those areas can supply, not only as an exploitment for low cost Manpower, but real development and progress.The choice for EDS. is a signal that this opening comes from merit and skills. We want to enlarge those capabilities through planned synergies to develop inside native territories all tasks needed for future manufacturing and supervising. Not less, Maghreb area has high potential for photovoltaic; we believe that investments in this area will be improving for people even in terms of future development of European activities. This will be an important kick-off to catch now skills to compete in this area for photovoltaic. Lowering costs for this technology is a need, not only for european market, but in a global and worldwide view, needed to grant zero-emission technologies in new developing countries. It’s not enough to be solidal, we must be solidal respecting environment

B.4.4 INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS IPR

Compared to structured R&D situations, the innovation is stated by following patents:

� Patent request idea n. MI2007A001124. Presented on 01-06-2007. Title: Collettore solare

The main goal of the partnership is to use all the yearly-acquired know-how to reach the common aim of innovation and get the chance to patent the effort.

9 luglio 2009

Part B – di 32

It becomes of high importance to protect untouchable resources through “intellectual property”, both for sharing and future return: genius, discoveries, brand, labels connected to material heirloom.

B.5 DEVELOPMENT IMPACT

Innovation developed in the project will have main effect in environmental climatization and warm sanitary water production, for the potentialities of a system which allows to reduce dependency from fuels for energetic needs. It will be important to transfer innovation to construction departments to grant architectural integration of new solar collectors developed to allow diffusion and spread in the field. The company considers the high chance to transfer the project, allowing an effective application in building contruction and architecture. Manufacturing processes as structured and new processes coming from development of the project will be integrated thanks to logistic system, and will respond to market needs modulating production. From the market point of view, diffusion and development of the innovative cold panels heating system will increase production of Energy from sustainable sources such as:

� Recovered Energy from outside. � Sun.

B.5.1 STRATEGIES FOR LONGLASTING COOPERATION

At the end of the project there will be the need to join together companies of different business

areas and gather into a synergy with different supplier to evaluate any improvement of product,

service or price. Often the answer to a single problem in a well determined area is already

exsisting and comes out from completely different fields. So, even if not easy, it’s sometimes

necessary to find common pathways. For this project is interdisciplinary, “Ptus” wants to keep

future relations and exchange with the partners. Complexity of the matter and innovation of the

applied technology will in fact require continuous comparison between electrical, electronical and

building department.

Communication between partners and external companies belonging to different fields is free,

since it is not braken up from competition, hence it gives suggestion and it’s fair, being

uninterested. Often genius does not belong directly to the field of work, so grow up with creative

learning and training of more flexible resources, to transfer the key to develop the idea to rise into

an intuition with far-reaching consequences. Comparison between knowledge belonging to

apparently different areas might even be useful apart from technological aspect, since innovation

even goes through marketing strategies and organizing systems that may be an important model.

B.5.2 STRATEGIES FOR RETURN, FROM TRAINING TO COOPERATION

Strategy to grant a return after investment in human resources, in terms of knowledge capital, is

connected to the implemented transfer system. During projet phase, “Fat Circle” will provide

9 luglio 2009

Part B – di 32

networking and synchronization of knowledge, will diffuse data quickly and easily, granting large

flexibility with a chanche for learning. Computer science by itself is not enough to create that

strong culture for sharing, which is needed to start managing and sharing knowledge. The project

will reach the desired results only in the case of cooperation in time and space, where individuals

will consider what they have learnt as a medium to increase competitiveness, as a resource to

share in the native company. Thus, human factor will be essential to create a solid and competitive

team. Skills management experience (Fig. 1.4.) of all partners will grant the right approach through

descriptions, incentives, difficulties, technologies and results of implemented systems.

(Fig. 1.4)

B.5.3 PMI CONTRIBUTION AND INFRASTRUCTURE SUITABILITY.

Dentro Il Sole(DIS) srl was founded in Gorgonzola (Milan – Italy) in 2008, with the aim to design

and install solar plants. It is involved in developing industrial and civil coverages for photovoltaic

and thermal plants. The company is directly involved in the development and production of solar

thermal collectors dedicated to forced and natural circulation plants. DIS has a Research &

Development department focussed on the analysis of subjects linked to solar thermal components

design (solar thermal collectors, plants at forced and natural circulation), photovoltaic modules

and electrical components needed for photovoltaic plants management and control.

This activity is supported by a deep experimental effort, thanks to the development, on company site, of a specialised test laboratory for energy performance assessment of the developed systems. The strong flexibility, the outsourcing use and the narrow partnership, with a few important department of milanese university poles, allowed to be able to feed the natural research vocation of the company. However the typical start-up sizing does not guarantee a stable and completely equipped laboratory for prototipation in door and out door yet. This heavy tie does not make the implementation of patents for reasons of legal and economic secrets and difficulty in easier IPR sharing.

The passage of the announcement at the operating phase would allow to implement the already partly existing, increasing it and providing her with the necessary equipments to exceed the present existing structure's ties.

B.6 ETHICS

Photovoltaic research is not only about economic gain; this project arise from the strong idea in

every participant partner that our sistematic abuse on the planet might start the sudden

distruction of important biological mechanism, that we only partially know due to nowadays fast

modification rate in changes. There is a strong need for deep modification in our way of managing

our resources, life and capacity. For this reason is important to underline the individual care of

every partner in eco-sustainable point of view, that will be transferred to roles, processes and to

the entire network.

Partners want to implement an eco-logic point of view, that means a logic for caring about our eco

system, following the requirements to choose partners and researchers to join the group in the

project. During the years, we always kept in our minds the words of Nobel Prize Winner Zhores

Alferov: “An industry based on usage of Solar Energy shouldn’t only be considered a solid and

reliable choice, but the only possible choice for human genre in a long term perspective”.

That’s why we believe in a life made of solid values, including respect, referring first of all to the

aim of our researches and never to the media or to the selling of the output. For this reason our

research head high, up to the sun, and our strategies evaluate first of all to the avaiable means to

realize it. We don’t want necessarily result at the lower cost. Our efficiency is virtuous and wants
