ACBC Opens Innovation Hub in Milan Innovation Becomes an Integrated Service

ACBC has inaugurated its Innovation Hub at Via Signorelli 10: a 400-square-meter space designed to redefine how innovation is anticipated, designed, developed, and brought to market across the fashion, luxury, and lifestyle sectors. More than just a space, it is an operational platform that makes the ACBC model tangible: an end-to-end approach integrating material research, product development, strategy, and go-to-market execution. This distinctive positioning goes beyond traditional consulting, translating into a service system capable of supporting brands and manufacturers throughout the entire supply chain.

At the core is the Innovation Hub itself, the technological and design heart of ACBC, where the company operates across the entire product lifecycle: from material development to design and transformation, all the way to end-of-life management and circularity. The Hub provides access to a curated ecosystem of emerging solutions, acting as both a collector and validation platform for international startups and scale-ups already prepared for industrial application. It also activates cross-fertilization processes with sectors such as automotive and interior design, transforming research into concrete applications.

Consulting supports companies in defining growth strategies, redesigning organizational and operational models, improving operational excellence (procurement and production), and integrating sustainability throughout the entire value chain, from vision to execution. Supply Chain Managed Services enables execution through product development and industrialization, as well as sourcing of materials, components, and finished products, using a scalable and flexible approach. Completing the model is the Marketing & Communication division, which translates innovation into positioning, storytelling, and market activation through strategies and execution across PR, events, and digital channels. Across all activities, the T2T (Trace to Track / Tech to Trust) approach integrates technology and traceability throughout the supply chain, strengthening transparency and credibility in every project developed.

“The Hub was created to put innovation — often undervalued in fashion — at the service of the industry. ACBC selects and translates solutions in materials, products, and circularity into clear and measurable economic and environmental KPIs, enabling brands to evaluate and adopt them on objective and scientific grounds while fully understanding their tangible benefits,” said Edoardo Iannuzzi, ACBC Co-Founder & Chief Innovation Officer.

“With the Innovation Hub, we are strengthening our vision: building an infrastructure capable of connecting expertise, technologies, and supply chains on a global scale, bringing together know-how and execution capabilities. We aim to consolidate our role as a leading partner in the evolution of the industry by helping drive the transformation toward more advanced, integrated, and competitive models,” stated Gio Giacobbe, Co-Founder & CEO of ACBC.

The opening of the Innovation Hub comes during a consolidation phase for ACBC, also supported by the entry of the fund Gyrus Capital, with the goal of accelerating the company’s development and strengthening its international positioning.
Certified as a B Corp and recognized as a benchmark in consulting for the fashion, luxury, and lifestyle sectors, ACBC is now a trusted partner for global brands seeking to develop new products and business models, making technological, design, and industrial innovation the primary driver of competitiveness.
