Aidia will take part in the 2026 edition of Toscana Tech on the Road, the program that brings a selected group of innovative Tuscan companies into direct dialogue with the Silicon Valley innovation ecosystem. From September 28 to October 2 we’ll be in San Francisco, at Casa Toscana inside Innovit (Italian Innovation and Culture Hub) to meet investors, companies, and international stakeholders.
For us, this selection marks an important milestone: it confirms the interest in work built on solutions already applied in real industrial contexts. The program was created precisely to offer Tuscan companies a concrete opportunity to engage with a market that values above all reliability, scalability, and clarity of proposition.
A program for companies
Toscana Tech on the Road is promoted and supported by the Tuscany Region, with the organization and operational support of Fondazione Sistema Toscana. The initiative guides the territory’s innovative SMEs through an internationalization journey aimed at direct contact with key hubs, investors, and industrial players.
Casa Toscana, inside Innovit, is the program’s destination point in San Francisco. Here, the selected companies meet an ecosystem that brings together innovation, research, and enterprise, in a context attentive to the solidity of solutions and their ability to adapt to different markets.
Why it matters to us
Aidia works on artificial intelligence systems applied to concrete production processes. Our goal is to help companies read data more effectively, make faster decisions, and make processes more efficient. It’s work that stems from daily dialogue with precise operational needs: quality, timing, costs, production continuity.
Being among the 15 relevant companies means bringing this approach into an international context and presenting it to stakeholders who evaluate solutions based on their applicability, not just their novelty.
We’ve also realized that interest in Italian tech and in tailor-made AI is gaining positive traction even among American audiences. It may seem paradoxical, but it isn’t: Italy is recognized for its craftsmanship quality in every field, including industrial ones. And today, after the initial hype phase, a clearer awareness is emerging overseas as well: in manufacturing, production, and professional services, customization is a value that no off‑the‑shelf solution can replace.
What we’ll bring to San Francisco
We will go to San Francisco with a clear proposal: already developed technology, concrete use cases, and a working method that combines technical expertise, attention to customer needs, and therefore high customization. The meetings scheduled in the program will help confirm where our work generates value and open new directions.
Engaging with investors, larger companies, and organizations active in other contexts will also be useful to listen to different needs and assess how to strengthen our proposition. In an ecosystem like Silicon Valley, dialogue is as much a part of the process as the presentation itself.
A look at the journey ahead
From September 28 to October 2 we will be in San Francisco together with the other selected companies. In the coming months we will share the main updates of the journey and recount this experience through its most significant moments.
For us, this participation is above all an opportunity to measure ourselves against an international context and bring beyond Tuscany a way of building technology grounded in method, substance, and reliability.
