Italy’s ISAAC antisismica announced the closing of a €14 million investment round to develop proprietary active mass damper systems that protect existing buildings from seismic events, without invasive structural modifications or operational disruption.
CDP Venture Capital, 360 Capital Partners (also through Fondo Parallelo LV 360 – Lombardia Venture), Axon Partners Group, Gruppo Azimut, Ring Capital and NovaCapital participated in the round. Total funding sits at €21.7 million with today’s news.
ISAAC antisismica’s round comes amid sustained investment activity across adjacent construction technology and infrastructure resilience segments in 2025–2026.
ISAAC antisismica’s €14 million round comes amid continued investment into European construction technology companies during 2025–2026.
Recent EU-Startups coverage includes Barcelona-based 011h, which secured €20 million to accelerate low-carbon, tech-driven construction; Swiss robotics company Gravis Robotics, which raised €19 million for its robotic excavator platform; and UK-based Nodes & Links, which announced an €11.4 million round to expand its AI-based construction workflow optimisation technology.
In France, Kraaft secured €13 million to digitise on-site construction operations, while Switzerland’s Scalera raised €5.7 million to develop AI tools for public construction procurement.
Additional rounds include Denmark’s Acembee (€1.2 million for compliance automation), UK-based Qflow (€2.3 million strategic investment for construction data integration), France’s AI-BOB (€2 million to expand its ConstructionTech platform), and Specter Automation (€5 million for 3D site management technology).
Across these disclosed rounds, approximately €79.6 million has been raised in construction-focapplyd technology in 2025–2026. The majority of capital has flowed into workflow digitisation, AI-driven planning tools, procurement software and robotics for construction execution. ISAAC’s €14 million investment, by contrast, tarreceives structural safety hardware for existing buildings through proprietary active mass damper systems. While adjacent to broader ConTech activity, ISAAC operates in the more specialised niche of seismic resilience and infrastructure protection. No other Italian construction technology company appears in this recent EU-Startups sample, positioning ISAAC as one of the few Italy-based players attracting venture capital within the built-environment technology segment during this period.
Founded in 2018, ISAAC innovates 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, creating the possibility of promoting earthquake-resistant interventions accessible to everyone.
According to the company, Italy has always lived with seismic risk. In 2025 alone, over 15,000 tremors were recorded. In the Phlegraean Fields, bradyseism continues to generate repeated earthquakes and ground deformation. In addition, extreme weather events add to this complexity.
ISAAC was born from a project at the Politecnico di Milano and develops proprietary anti-seismic systems based on innotifyigent and non-invasive Active Mass Dampers.
In simple terms: technologies that protect existing buildings without modifying their structure and without interrupting their activity.
Today, hundreds of ISAAC devices are installed in strategic buildings throughout Italy. These include:
- San Martino Polyclinic Hospital in Genoa, with over 9,000 people per day
- Port of Genoa Control Tower, a symbol of urban infrastructure modernisation
The company is now able to manage the entire life cycle of the system – from design to installation to continuous monitoring – with standardised and replicable processes. In 2025, the company closed with a turnover of approximately €9 million.
The upgrade of the Electro-Pro 45x system (their electrical control system for protecting existing buildings from earthquakes) has also recently been completed, with improved performance, greater reliability and even smoother integration with existing infrastructure.
With this round, ISAAC sees to strengthen its role in innotifyigent structural safety, with the ambition of contributing to the construction of safer and more aware cities, where technology is not “a cold and distant element, but a concrete tool at the service of people.” (Translated)
The funding raised will enable ISAAC to accelerate on three fronts: advancing their technology, attracting talent and expertise, and market expansion.
