SMAU 2025 | Scm Group and startups: a continuous dialogue for innovation

Among the 21 companies participating in the next edition of SMAU is Scm Group, in line with its entry into SMAU's Open Innovation Club and the Group's roadmap, where the development of solutions, services, and new business models also involves research and collaboration with high-tech startups. 

Today's world moves fast, and every day a new technology is born or consolidated: it is no longer possible to "have all the skills in-house," and there is not always time to develop them internally. For this reason, Scm Group has long been committed to building a network of excellence that can fuel and accelerate its evolution and also stimulate a new culture of innovation internally. 

SMAU will be an opportunity to meet and engage with the Italian and international ecosystem and actively seek solutions and innovations. Representing Scm Group will be Sara Iaconianni, scouting & idea generation manager, and Jaison Carlos Scheel, digital startup developer, who are already working "behind the scenes" to maximize the potential of this partnership.  

Scm Group will also be present at SMAU with its own stand to meet talented individuals and capitalize on high value-added opportunities. 

The gain is not only technological, it is cultural. Scm Group is aware of this and, among the 21 participating "big players" – all leading Italian companies in various sectors – it will be the only one representing the world of industrial machinery.  

The main areas of innovation focused on by Scm Group are: Human-Machine Interaction, operator support in terms of ergonomics and safety, sustainable innovation, software, and digitization. These sectors are fully in line with the Group's vision: to be not only a technology supplier, but a business offering integrated solutions and services.
