Knobs srl, an innovative SME owned by the holding company Smart Capital and a leader in Italy in technology consulting and software development, focused on complex projects based on blockchain and IoT technology, has launched a capital increase that has been subscribed by Smart Capital itself and a new investor, a leading manager with a specific know-how in the relevant sector.

At the time, Urania srl, a Milan-based company that is 70 percent owned by Knobs, took over 5 percent of Texpo, partly by underwriting a capital increase and the rest against the sale of shares by co-founder Luiza Gaburova.

As a reminder, Smart Capital was established at the beginning of 2021 on the initiative of Andrea Costantini, Andrea Faraggiana, and the Agrati family, the latter owner of the group of the same name, a world leader in fastening systems for automotive components. Smart Capital, which aims to raise 60 million by 2023 mainly among entrepreneurs, is now a club deal vehicle in which more than 20 families of entrepreneurs participate, who from time to time decide whether to co-invest alongside Smart Capital.
