🏭☕ Beside the Longjin River and Peng Pai's Former Residence in Haifeng County, #Shanwei#, a long-idle dyeing and weaving mill has been transformed into the Z-ISLE Complex. Idle since 2000, the former factory now blends its industrial heritage with jewelry displays, coffee and hands-on craft experiences, giving the historic site a fresh lease on life.

🚂 Every stain, crack & layer of paint in Beirut's Mar Mikhael Train Station tells part of Lebanon's railway history. Funded by Italy through @coopita_beirut & implemented by @UNESCO and @UNHABITAT, this recovery effort — led in part by skilled women conservators — is transforming the station into an Industrial Heritage Park. This is more than restoration — it is recovery of a shared cultural landmark and the revival of collective memory, built #ForThePeople#. 🔗 Learn more: @UNESCOBEIRUT

Italy has some of Europe’s best robotics talent. So what’s stopping it from building the next generation of global robotics companies? That’s one of the questions we brought to Turin yesterday. Over the past year, I’ve met quite a few Italian robotics founders and engineers. When I heard about Italian Tech Week, now Wave by @vento_ventures, I saw an opportunity to bring some of them together. Italy has an extraordinary industrial heritage, world-class engineering talent, and a strong robotics research community. So yesterday, @22Astronauts_ brought together founders, investors, researchers, and industry leaders at Comau’s headquarters and manufacturing facility. I couldn’t have imagined a better place. Part of our “Not Another Panel” series, we discussed why robotics pilots struggle to reach production, who should take the risk of first deployments, and how manufacturers can become more involved in the startup ecosystem. A big thank you to Francesco Ricciuti from Visionaries Tomorrow and Mattia Marconi from @ABBRobotics for shaping the conversation. And especially to Giuseppe Costabile, Ilaria Polinetti, Davide Cavallini, Stefania Ferrero, Gioacchino Civiletti, Irene Sabbetti, and the entire Comau team for being such generous hosts. After New York, Paris, and San Francisco, I hope Turin is the beginning of many more conversations that turn into collaborations, first customers, and robots working on factory floors. What do you think Italy needs to produce more globally successful robotics companies?
