Mission: innovating with electrothermal technologies
Competence and enthusiasm at the service of those who want to revolutionize the way they heat.
In transformation processes, from heating metal to cooking food, it is usually necessary to provide heat to the object being transformed.
At InovaLab we support companies in improving these processes through the introduction of innovative electrothermal technologies.

LEP Electrothermal Laboratory
InovaLab is a spin-off of the Electrothermal Laboratory of the University of Padua (LEP).
The LEP was founded in 1969 by Prof. Ciro Di Pieri, pioneer of electrothermal technologies and founder of Siatem, the first Italian company producing induction heating systems.
The LEP, in addition to experimentation in basic research, has always been involved in applied research in collaboration with industrial production companies.
Today, the LEP is recognized as one of the most important electrothermics research laboratories in the world.

University in our DNA
InovaLab, a spin-off of the University of Padua, is a company largely owned by researchers and university professors, founded to provide the transfer of technologies and know-how.
We work methodically, combining scientific research with the ability to meet the needs of customers with the timing and flexibility of a private company.

Different skills, one team
We develop state-of-the-art solutions for heating processes. We do it well because:
We are the children of the LEP: a laboratory that has almost 50 years of experience and is universally recognized as a center of excellence in the field of electrothermal research.
We are a team of engineers with multidisciplinary skills: from electrical sciences to metallurgy, plasma physics, heat transfer, computer science and data science.
