Collesalvetti (Livorno), April 23, 2026 – BeDimensional S.p.A., an Italian deep-tech company and leader in the industrial production of bidimensional materials, announces a new and decisive step in its scaling-up path with the development of a production plant in the Livorno area, in the Municipality of Collesalvetti, at the Interporto Toscano Amerigo Vespucci. The operation is part of the Memorandum of Understanding signed by BeDimensional, the Municipality of Collesalvetti and the Region of Tuscany to support the consolidation and development of the company’s presence in the area.
The project includes the installation of production lines for bidimensional crystals with a production capacity of several tens of tons per year, intended to be used in various strategic sectors such as lithium-ion batteries.
This investment also strengthens BeDimensional’s strategic positioning in the industrial production of bidimensional crystals. The result is reinforced technological leadership, capable of promoting an increasingly sustainable and innovative industry in the field of advanced materials that is crucial for making Europe more independent from Asian powers.
The investment marks a new phase in BeDimensional’s industrial growth. The planning foresees the start of production in 2028, with the creation of 20 new jobs, followed by further progressive expansion.
Supporting the project is a solid financial structure: the overall investment will be mainly backed by the EIB (European Investment Bank) and private and institutional investors, including Cdp Venture Capital SGR, Eureka! Venture SGR, NovaCapital, ENINext and Boldrocchi Group, in addition to the possibility of activating further agreements with public and private entities to accelerate and expand the investment plan. A foundation that strengthens the path towards full industrialization already initiated by the company with the inauguration of BEFAB – BeDimensional Fabrication Plant in Genoa at the end of 2024.
The new Tuscan industrial hub is designed to support an ambitious scale-up and consolidate BeDimensional’s positioning as a global player in the bidimensional crystals market. The Memorandum highlights the company’s competitive advantage in terms of quality and cost, with the goal of producing atomically controlled bidimensional crystals at industrial scale and at market-competitive costs, thanks to proprietary, patented technology already validated at industrial level.
“The project in Tuscany represents a strategic step for BeDimensional,” said Vittorio Pellegrini, CEO of BeDimensional. “We are not only increasing our production capacity: we are building the industrial and technological foundations to bring bidimensional crystals to a global scale, with a clear competitive advantage in terms of quality, cost and process sustainability. We are doing it in Italy because we believe in the potential of the European ecosystem.”
“Tuscany continues to invest decisively in a development model based on innovation, industrial quality and the ability to attract high-tech companies,” said the President of the Region of Tuscany, Eugenio Giani. “BeDimensional’s initiative moves exactly in this direction – Giani specifies – strengthening a strategic supply chain and creating the conditions for new qualified employment and sustainable growth. As a Region, we support these paths because we believe that the competitiveness of our territory depends on supporting entities capable of transforming research and know-how into advanced industrial production, maintaining value, skills and long-term development in Tuscany.”
“This is the type of investment we want to attract and support in Tuscany: solid, innovative and with a clear industrial vision,” commented Leonardo Marras, Regional Councillor for Economy, Tourism and Agriculture of the Region of Tuscany. “BeDimensional’s project in Collesalvetti demonstrates that even in the most advanced sectors, our territory is competitive and able to offer concrete development opportunities. We are talking about an initiative that brings qualified employment, strengthens our production capacity and fully fits into the path towards sustainability that we are supporting as a Region. Our objective is to continue creating a favorable environment for those who invest in innovation and production, consolidating a modern and dynamic industrial base.”
At the event – moderated by Rai journalist Massimo Cerofolini – participants included, in addition to Vittorio Pellegrini, President Giani and Councillor Marras, also Monica Bellandi, President of Interporto Toscano Amerigo Vespucci, and Raffaello Cioni, CEO of the same Interporto, together with Sandra Scarpellini, President of the Province of Livorno, and Sara Paoli, Mayor of the Municipality of Collesalvetti. For BeDimensional, Francesco Bonaccorso, Scientific Director, and Matteo Cicciotti, Industrial Director, also spoke.
BeDimensional produces and develops high-quality Few Layer Graphene (FLG) and Few Layer Hexagonal Boron Nitride (FLhBN), materials consisting of a few atomic layers at the core of the company’s technological offering. The ability to produce them at industrial scale, combined with advantages in terms of quality, cost and process efficiency, opens up high value-added applications in the fields of energy, electronics, paints, coatings, smart textiles and composite materials.
With the new industrial hub in the Livorno area, BeDimensional confirms a growth strategy based on three distinctive assets: production scalability, process innovation and technological leadership. A step that strengthens not only the company’s presence in Tuscany, but also Italy’s role in an advanced supply chain destined to have a transformative impact on future industrial activities.
