As part of the international festival NanoValbruna , we at Gesteco took part in the Baite Workshop. Our contribution focused on organizing the training seminar “Successful Sustainable Innovation”, developed in collaboration with EnAIP FVG and promoted within the GreenFor Sustainability Academy. This initiative represented not only an important educational opportunity, but also a concrete chance to connect design thinking with territorial regeneration.
Participation in the Baite Workshop confirms the role of GreenFor Academy as a promoter of applied training, created to connect business, territory, and knowledge.
In a context like NanoValbruna, which brings together vision, culture, and concrete action, GreenFor finds the ideal ground to enhance skills and contribute to building a shared ecological transition, where young people are the protagonists and businesses become active agents of change.

Our participation in the Baite Workshop is part of a journey we have been pursuing for years as a company committed to practical sustainability. We believe that to innovate also means to transfer knowledge, listen to the territory, and build relationships capable of generating a positive impact. NanoValbruna provided the ideal setting to strengthen this vision: an event that brings together generations, disciplines, and diverse approaches in an authentic, inspiring, and nature, immersed environment.
Alongside Gesteco, LOD - Laboratorio di Olfattometria Dinamica, another company within Gruppo Luci, also took part in the festival as an official sponsor.
This joint presence at NanoValbruna reflects the identity of our Group: companies with different expertise, united by shared values, working together to build a business model rooted in sustainability, innovation, and social responsibility.
It was not just a formal presence, but a concrete contribution to a collective project that looks to the future, while remaining grounded in local roots.
NanoValbruna is much more than a festival: it is a laboratory of ideas born in the Friulian mountains and speaking to all of Europe.
Our contribution through education and training reinforces our belief that doing business today also means acting as cultural and social players, capable of generating value beyond the market.
We thank ReGeneration Hub Friuli, the promoter and organizer of NanoValbruna, for creating an event rich in content, relationships, and vision.
An experience that has inspired us and encourages us to continue working toward a shared and inclusive ecological transition, where education, enterprise, and community can grow together.
