LifeGate Way’s activities are primarily divided into three areas:Open Sustainable Innovation, aimed at fostering collaboration between startups, SMEs, and large corporations; direct investment in a portfolio of high-potential startups; and the provision of services to support the entire ecosystem, thanks in part to a network of over 50 partnerships with cross-sector market players.
