🇮🇹 𝐒𝐌𝐄𝐬: 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐇𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐭 𝐨𝐟 𝐈𝐭𝐚𝐥𝐲’𝐬 𝐄𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐨𝐦𝐲 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐌𝐚𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐦𝐞 𝐅𝐮𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞 Did you know that Italy’s economy thrives on over 4 million small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) — the highest number among all EU member states? Employing 13 million people, these businesses play a crucial role, especially in the maritime sector, from shipyard suppliers to logistics operators and service providers. However, SMEs are facing increasing challenges. The rising demand for sustainability, the urgent need for digitalisation, and intense global competition are pushing them to adapt quickly. Balancing these shifts alongside day-to-day operations can be overwhelming. At the same time, their agility and specialised expertise allow SMEs to adapt quickly and find innovative solutions — if they have access to the right tools and support. Helping SMEs overcome challenges — whether by simplifying compliance, improving efficiency, or making funding more accessible, can give them the stability they need to grow. As the industry evolves, their ability to adapt will play a key role in shaping the future of Italy’s maritime sector. 💬 𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐝𝐨 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐬𝐞𝐞 𝐚𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐛𝐢𝐠𝐠𝐞𝐬𝐭 𝐨𝐩𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐮𝐧𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐦𝐚𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐦𝐞 𝐒𝐌𝐄𝐬 𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐨𝐝𝐚𝐲’𝐬 𝐦𝐚𝐫𝐤𝐞𝐭?

🌟 𝐓𝐨𝐩 𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐬 𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐟𝐚𝐬𝐭 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐭𝐨𝐭𝐲𝐩𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐭𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 At Maritime Ventures - Company Builder, fast prototyping and testing have been key to shaping impactful solutions for maritime SMEs. By working directly with industry stakeholders, we have gained valuable insights into how to design better, more scalable solutions. Here are our top 3 takeaways: 1️⃣ 𝐑𝐞𝐚𝐥-𝐥𝐢𝐟𝐞 𝐯𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐝𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐡𝐚𝐩𝐩𝐞𝐧𝐬 𝐟𝐚𝐬𝐭: Rapid testing with users—like our recent visit to the port in Genova, where we tested one of our solutions with truck drivers—provides invaluable real-world feedback and helps refine ideas early. 2️⃣ 𝐂𝐨𝐥𝐥𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐞𝐧𝐬𝐮𝐫𝐞𝐬 𝐫𝐞𝐥𝐞𝐯𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐥𝐲 𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧: Involving stakeholders from the start ensures the solution addresses their needs directly, builds trust, and even creates opportunities to gain early customers during the development process. 3️⃣ 𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐭𝐨𝐭𝐲𝐩𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚𝐜𝐜𝐞𝐥𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐬 𝐌𝐕𝐏 𝐝𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐥𝐨𝐩𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭: Early validated prototypes form the foundation for a Minimum Viable Product (MVP)—a streamlined version of the solution with key features. This speeds up development as we already have validated visuals and initial content to build on. 💡 𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐢𝐬 𝐧𝐞𝐱𝐭? With the feedback collected during prototyping, we are now building our first MVPs. This phase will turn validated ideas into functional solutions that meet real user needs and mark the next big step toward the final product. 👉 𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐞𝐱𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞𝐬 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐭𝐨𝐭𝐲𝐩𝐢𝐧𝐠?
