A LAB IN THE MAKING

Ingenuity finds
a direction.
Life.

We envision technologies that help people live better, in balance with the environment and society.

Let’s build the Lab Explore the vision
MANY POSSIBILITIES.
A POINT OF REFERENCE.
People, technology and the living world.POLYTROPOS / OF MANY WAYS

01 / THE VISION

See more clearly.
To choose better.

The world offers possibilities, but also complexity. Polytropos Lab was conceived to explore how artificial intelligence could help develop services that benefit people and the wider ecosystem.

We want to build a place where different projects share a direction: valuing Life, with care for the consequences of what we create.

02 / OUR DIRECTION

What we want
to keep at the centre.

01

Life as our reference point.

People’s wellbeing, respect for other forms of life and balance with the environment guide the ideas we want to develop.

02

Ingenuity, with awareness.

We want to consider the usefulness of solutions alongside their economic and social costs. Technology is a tool whose consequences we need to assess.

03

The wellbeing of those building it.

We envision a lab that is also sustainable for the people working in it: growth that can support a balanced life and a respectful working environment.

03 / THE LAB’S PROJECTS

A shared vision.
More paths to explore.

Health, care, resources, movement and creativity. The projects begin with different needs and share a desire to make the world around us clearer and more liveable.

These are concepts and ideas at different stages of exploration, rather than services already available. Open each project to explore the idea.

Cognitive wellbeing

AlmaSense

ConceptExplore how technology might support cognitive wellbeing and help recognise changes over time.

A project to develop and validate, with the person and the quality of information at its centre. Usefulness, reliability and how to involve families and professionals require research and dialogue with the appropriate specialists.

How can we offer useful, understandable support without turning uncertainty into alarm?

Unsold stock and resources

ALIVE Stock

Concept and validation planHelp brands assess new destinations for unsold finished products, coordinating decisions and tracking their outcomes.

The hypothesis is a shared workflow between company teams and partners for resale, donation, reuse, transformation and recycling. Validation must clarify the need, the available data, the first problem to address and whether AI would be useful.

How can we recover economic, social and environmental value while keeping control of products?

Access and circular fashion

Couture GO

Project ideaExplore a simpler way to access luxury accessory rentals, comparing offers and finding personal style combinations.

The idea combines comparisons of rental services with support for styling choices. The model, relationships with operators and the contribution of technology need further exploration and validation.

How can we make access to fashion more flexible while making better use of what already exists?

Craftsmanship and connections

Lux0Hub

Project ideaConnect craftspeople, designers and people interested in quality products, bringing skills and production possibilities closer together.

An idea for a digital space to facilitate dialogue around design, materials, making and customisation. The needs of those involved and the first useful service must be tested in practice.

How can we connect craft skills with new needs while preserving the value of making?

Movement and everyday life

NomadFit

Project ideaHelp people on the move maintain continuity in physical activity, exploring more flexible access to gyms and workouts.

The concept envisions a simpler relationship between people and facilities, with workout support that reflects the context and available equipment. The partner network, feasibility and access arrangements still need to be developed.

How can wellbeing habits travel with people, even when they move to a new place?

Care and responsibility

Sostegno AI

Project ideaSimplify the organisation of documents, deadlines and responsibilities for people caring for someone vulnerable.

The idea stems from the daily work of families, caregivers and professionals: scattered information, administrative tasks and decisions to follow over time. Features, the boundaries of support and data handling require dedicated work.

How can we give time and clarity back to people caring for others?

Creativity and production

Vision

Project ideaExplore the meeting of human creativity, craftsmanship and AI tools in developing fashion proposals.

A project direction in which technology could support research and design, with people leading the creative process. The working model, collaborations and production of collections are still to be defined.

How can we broaden creative possibilities while keeping quality and human contribution at the centre?

Deciding what to build and how to build it will require research, dialogue and validation.
