Tiesse took part in the event “Telecommunications of the Future 2026: from Research to Market”, promoted by the CNIT – National Interuniversity Consortium for Telecommunications and the RESTART Foundation, sharing its concrete experience in transferring advanced research outcomes to the market.
During the event, Luciano Lucrezia, Chief Operating Officer of Tiesse, joined Nicola Di Giusto, Sales and Marketing Manager at Vianova, to present the potential of technological innovations developed within the research programs of the RESTART Foundation and the CNIT community. The discussion highlighted how these innovations can be successfully transformed into industrial solutions ready for adoption in real‑world, mission‑critical environments.
Today, technologies originating from research represent a tangible opportunity to strengthen the telecommunications ecosystem. However, their effective transition to the market requires structured collaboration between universities, research centers, and companies. In this context, Tiesse confirms its role in bridging research and industry, enhancing technological know‑how through practical, reliable, and market‑ready applications.
In his speech, Luciano Lucrezia emphasized the importance of direct engagement with those who use technology on a daily basis in order to turn research projects into solid products:
“A product cannot be considered truly valid unless it is tested by those who deeply understand operational needs in terms of quality, management, and support. It is through collaborations such as the one with Vianova that a technology evolves from a laboratory experiment into a robust solution suitable for mission‑critical contexts.”
The collaboration between Tiesse and Vianova, launched in 2020, represents a successful example of an entirely Italian technological supply chain, focused on digital sovereignty and the development of network equipment — including routers and IoT solutions — designed and customized to meet the specific needs of business customers, while ensuring high performance, resilience, and security.
The event “Telecommunications of the Future 2026”, part of the RESTART project, is supported by the European Union, the Italian Ministry of Universities and Research, and the Italia Domani program. It serves as an important forum for discussion on the future of telecommunications, innovation, and the strategic role of technology transfer in supporting business growth.
