About

The origins of SmartVenice

SmartVenice was founded in 2014 on the initiative of professionals with multidisciplinary local and international expertise inspired by the idea of fostering new patterns of social and environmental sustainability.

Its first endeavour consisted of an a privately funded urban regeneration project in Venice, leading to the opening of Laguna Libre, eco-cultural bistrot, which is also a pole for community driven events, art and theatre exhibitions, jazz and world music concerts.

Since then, the company continued its operations and in 2018 set up a new branch by operating as an independent research unit and consultancy on inclusive digital and social innovation and gender equality, both in urban contexts and organizations, with the active engagement of local communities and organizations.

Our mission is multifold and impactful

We position as an independent research and consultancy unit, specialized in designing and delivering high-quality programmes combining researchcapacity building and training, participation and co-creation processes on inclusive innovation both at territorial and organizational levels.

In our work we address gender gaps with an intersectional approach, so to also tackle other axes of structural inequalities based on race and ethnicity, gender identity and sexual orientation, class, different ‘abilities’, age, etc. This is why we often refer to ‘gender+ inclusiveness’ as our main goal and principle.

We are a SME, founded in 2014 to start up an urban regeneration project in Venice, in 2018 we kicked off a EU projects, research and consultancy branch.
