BRIDGE joins the Federlazio family

BRIDGE officially becomes part of FEDERLAZIO, one of the leading organizations representing the regional business community.
Beyond advocating for the interests of its members, Federlazio actively supports them in their paths of growth, development, and consolidation.

Through the “Federlazio Network”, companies can share projects, expertise, and know-how, build connections and synergies to develop new business opportunities, and access networking events and relationship-building initiatives aimed at finding partners, training programs, assistance in creating networks, consortia, and start-ups.
Federlazio also facilitates relationships with public institutions, financial institutions, and private investors, while offering support in workforce analysis, human resource development plans, and international business expansion projects.

BRIDGE is an Italian cargotech start-up, founded in February 2021 by three young Italian entrepreneurs:
Stefano Asperti, with experience in procurement and sourcing within the transport sector;
Luca Petrone, an expert in mathematical optimization applied to logistics;
and Simone Quarta, with a background in sales in the petrochemical industry.

The idea behind BRIDGE was born from everyday challenges: faced with the inefficiencies experienced firsthand by the three founders in the freight transport industry — where the meeting between supply and demand still occurs in an outdated way — they were driven by the desire to transform and modernize existing models.
BRIDGE enables an optimized match between transport demand and supply, significantly reducing or eliminating empty trips.

The Italian start-up has completed a €100,000 pre-seed funding round, bringing its valuation to over half a million euros. With the capital raised, BRIDGE aims to refine its digital platform, which is set to revolutionize the face of Italian and European logistics.

“The company is made up of young people who, in the midst of a pandemic, are bringing innovation to a mature sector like transportation, emphasizing digitalization and environmental responsibility.
The fact that BRIDGE turned to Federlazio, recognizing it as a fundamental point of reference and support — both commercially and educationally — makes us proud and rewards the association’s ongoing mission to protect, represent, and promote the business of its members,”
says Claudio Malagola, Director of Federlazio Latina.

“Federlazio represents both an opportunity and a guarantee for BRIDGE. Through the association’s network, BRIDGE aims to strengthen its presence in the regional and national logistics market.
Federlazio’s support will also allow BRIDGE to establish a solid and constructive relationship with institutions,”
says Simone Quarta, co-founder of the company alongside Stefano Asperti and Luca Petrone.
“The perfect synergy between start-ups and established regional businesses creates the ideal foundation for driving innovation.”
