Iveco Group launches its ‘Beyond Lab’ Open Innovation platform in collaboration with I3P

Turin, 10^th March 2026. Iveco Group (EXM: IVG) has launched Beyond Lab, its new Open Innovation platform designed and implemented in collaboration with I3P, the Innovative Companies Incubator of Politecnico di Torino. The aim of the project is to connect startups, innovators and partners with Iveco Group to unlock breakthrough technologies and transform bold ideas into real-world solutions for the transport industry.

With the launch of Beyond Lab, the Group is moving towards a more systematic Open Innovation model, embedding startup‑driven innovation into core R&D processes and building on its established venture-client approach. Through a structured process of scouting, co‑development and experimentation, Beyond Lab will identify promising solutions from around the world that can be translated into tangible value for customers, improving the quality, sustainability and performance of the Group’s products and services.
