ICONS SRL

ICONS is made of two legal entities: Fondazione ICONS and ICONS srl, chaired by their founders Mario Martinoli and Elena Gaboardi.
Fondazione ICONS is a rare example of an entirely operative Italian foundation. The foundation operates in the area of the European funded research and specifically in the Horizon2020 and Horizon Europe Programme. It is also the gateway to ICONS’ cultural and philanthropic initiatives.

ICONS srl, a subsidiary of Fondazione ICONS, is a reputed consultancy providing high added value services to its clients in all the areas of expertise of the group, with a focus on business innovation strategies.
 
Over the years, we have worked for several international research institutions and organisations, public authorities and many other societal players, wishing to improve and upscale the impact of their activities towards their communities and external stakeholders.
We work with the European Commission, the European Training Foundation (ETF), the European Food Safety Agency (EFSA), the European Insurance and Occupational Pensions Authority (EIOPA), the European Banking Authority (EBA) and several other organisations.

In 2020, the European Commission awarded ICONS a Framework Contract for running the Horizon Results Booster, the European flagship initiative providing public dissemination and exploitation consultancy steering research towards strong societal impacts.
