Brembo—the Italian provider of high-performance braking systems with North American headquarters in Plymouth, Michigan—has launched Brembo Ventures, a venture capital unit that aims to “accelerate the development of innovative solutions for the mobility of tomorrow.”

Brembo Ventures will invest globally as a shareholder in technology startups—with a focus on artificial intelligence, big data, sensors, mechatronics, energy efficiency, and sustainability businesses—to find solutions that can be applied in the automotive sector. 

“Brembo Ventures is the tool to attract and give power to innovators; those who explore technological frontiers,” said Roberto Grazioli, Brembo’s Chief Business Development Officer. “Our strategy is to invest in startups whom we can work with side-by-side to accelerate the development of new solutions. With Brembo Ventures, we are even more structured to seize the market opportunities that can contribute to our goal of redefining the future of braking systems and mobility for the benefit of our customers.”

Brembo Ventures most recently acquired 6.8% of PhotonPath, a deep tech company spin-off from the University Politecnico di Milano, which develops integrated photonics-based products. 

“With PhotonPath, Brembo will be able to accelerate the development of new solutions for the digitalization of braking systems, a path already undertaken with the launch of the new SENSIFY intelligent braking system,” a company release stated. 

Infibra Technologies—the Italian company that develops and produces integrated photonic systems—will also join Brembo Ventures following Brembo’s acqusition of a 20% stake in 2020.
