- Zest S.p.A. is an Italy-based venture capital and innovation holding company that invests in early-stage technology enterprises and provides open innovation and corporate venturing consulting services. Founded through its predecessor entities in 2003 (Digital Magics) and 2013 (LVenture Group) and headquartered in Rome, Italy, the company maintains operating offices in Milan and Turin and is publicly traded on Euronext Milan under the ticker symbol ZEST. The company operates primarily through two core business segments: Zest Investments and Zest Innovation. Its product and service offerings comprise early-stage venture capital financing across pre-seed, seed, seed plus, and Series A investment rounds; startup incubation and structured acceleration programs delivered via proprietary hubs such as LUISS EnLabs and vertical acceleration tracks; hands-on post-acceleration portfolio management, strategic mentorship, and scale-up support; co-investment syndication and investor matchmaking across technology sectors including artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, financial technology, insurance technology, healthcare technology, clean technology, the Internet of Things, and smart city infrastructure; corporate open innovation consulting and external research and development advisory; tailored corporate venture capital program structuring; corporate venture building and startup scouting; intrapreneurship development and executive innovation training; and corporate-startup pilot programs, proof-of-concept development, and technology hackathons. In recent corporate developments, the company executed a major corporate reorganization on April 1, 2024, through the merger by incorporation of Digital Magics S.p.A. into LVenture Group S.p.A., officially rebranding the combined entity as Zest S.p.A. to establish a unified innovation platform supported by strategic shareholders including Tamburi Investment Partners S.p.A. and Luiss Guido Carli University. Following the transaction, the company partnered with asset manager Eureka! Venture SGR to launch the Z_One venture capital fund dedicated to early-stage investments in applied artificial intelligence and urbantech, implemented executive governance updates to lead integrated asset management and open innovation divisions, and expanded its corporate venturing programs across European markets.
