ISAAC antisismica has closed a €14 mn funding round to expand its proprietary active mass damper systems designed to protect existing buildings from seismic events without structural modification or operational downtime. Total funding now stands at €21.7 mn.
Investors include CDP Venture Capital, 360 Capital Partners through Fondo Parallelo LV 360 – Lombardia Venture, Axon Partners Group, Gruppo Azimut, Ring Capital and NovaCapital.
ISAAC revolutionizes the protection from earthquakes of existing buildings and vibration control with smart technology that facilitates and speeds up the work of technicians and structural engineers, making the possibility of promoting earthquake-resistant interventions accessible to everyone, without causing inconvenience to owners, property managers or occupants.
Founded in 2018 as a spin-out from Politecnico di Milano, ISAAC develops intelligent active mass dampers that counteract building movement during earthquakes.
The systems install without invasive structural work and allow facilities to remain operational during deployment.
Italy recorded more than 15,000 tremors in 2025. Seismic activity in areas such as the Phlegraean Fields continues alongside extreme weather volatility.
According to Beinsure analysts, retrofitting existing infrastructure rather than rebuilding offers cost and time advantages in high-risk geographies.
ISAAC reports hundreds of devices installed across strategic Italian sites, including the San Martino Polyclinic Hospital in Genoa and the Port of Genoa Control Tower.
The company now manages the full system lifecycle from engineering design to installation and ongoing monitoring using standardised processes.
Revenue reached about €9 mn in 2025. The firm recently upgraded its Electro-Pro 45x control platform, improving reliability and integration with existing building systems.
The new capital will support technology refinement, hiring and geographic expansion. ISAAC positions its hardware as practical resilience infrastructure rather than experimental engineering.
In a market where most construction funding flows into software, ISAAC bets on mechanical counterforce. Steel and algorithms working together.
