Avolta NEXT F&B Hub Milano is an initiative dedicated to fostering innovation in the F&B Retail & Travel sector through collaboration with startups, partner companies, and industry experts. This initiative comes to life in a physical space — a true technology hub located at the heart of Autogrill Italy’s headquarters.

You can apply at any time through the Startup Lab initiative — an open call designed to gather proposals and explore potential collaboration opportunities with innovative startups. Fill out the form to share your solution with us: https://avoltanextmilano.autogrill.it/en/startup-lab/

Our Innovation team continuously reviews all submissions with monthly evaluations. If your startup aligns with our values and goals, we’ll get in touch to schedule an initial introductory call.

We are particularly interested in startups operating in the Retail, F&B, and Travel sectors, with a key focus on:

• Customer Experience: solutions that turn customer interaction into unique and engaging experiences.
• Sustainability solutions with both environmental and social impact, especially those connected to local communities.
• More broadly, we’re looking for innovative ideas in the Retail, Food & Beverage, and Travel sectors that can respond to evolving market dynamics and new consumer needs.
