Sapienza in collaboration with Cassa Depositi e Prestiti Venture Capital SGR promotes the development of projects and new start-ups in the biopharmaceutical, aerospace and agrifood tech sectors, in particular through the activation of Technology Transfer Poles, specialised in tech-incubation and business creation of inventions and patents deriving from research.

• Extend is the national technology transfer hub entirely dedicated to the biopharmaceutical sector, set up on the initiative of CDP Venture Capital through its Tech Transfer Fund and with the co-investment of its partners Evotec and Angelini Ventures, realised in collaboration with Sapienza, for the development of new therapeutic approaches. With a funding target of 30 million euros, the initiative is open to the entry of new industrial and financial partners,  to help finance the best initiatives originating from the national research system, both at the proof-of-concept and start-up stage.
• Galaxia is the national technology transfer hub for aerospace, set up to give a concrete boost to the development of start-ups conceived within research laboratories specialising in the sector, and realised by CDP VENTURE CAPITAL SGR in collaboration with Sapienza University of Rome and Turin Polytechnic, and with the partcipation of other leading Italian universities.  The Hub focuses on the various aerospace application areas: from upstream solutions - such as thrusters, rockets and satellites, suborbital spacecraft, telemetry tools and technologies for mission control centres - to downstream solutions - remote sensing technologies for Earth observation, satellite communication and navigation technologies, and integrated applications of satellite navigation systems for specific uses - as well as in enabling technologies and in activities for the transfer of key technologies from space to ground (spin-out) and from ground to space (spin-in).
• Farming Future is the national technology transfer hub for agrifood tech, set up on the initiative of CDP Venture Capital in collaboration with To Seed and realised together with the University Federico II of Naples and the other Scientific Promoters University of Tuscia, University of Siena, University of Padua, University of Bari Aldo Moro, University Alma Mater Studiorum of Bologna, University of Turin and University of Milan. With a total target budget of about 20 million euro, the FARMING FUTURE Cluster challenges the state of the art of agrifood tech technologies and invests in their innovation by supporting 20 technologies at the prototyping stage (POC investments) and more than 18 start-ups (seed investments).
