Rome, Temple of Vibia Sabina and Hadrian – At the Rome Chamber of Commerce, in the prestigious setting of the Temple of Hadrian in Piazza di Pietra, Cavaliere Domenico De Rosa was among the key figures at the 8th edition of the ANGI Award – the “Oscar of Innovation,” organized by ANGI – the National Association of Young Innovators – and dedicated to excellence in Italian innovation.
During the ceremony, which brought together representatives from institutions, the business world, and the innovation ecosystem, Cavaliere De Rosa delivered a speech focused on the future of young people and the role of startups in the Italian entrepreneurial landscape, before presenting a major award to an extraordinary startup active in road safety, the company Oraigo.
Echoing the content of his interview with Agenzia Dire, Mr. Domenico De Rosa noted that startups represent the first “seed,” the initial embryo of Italian businesses, the point of origin for what can become a structured company capable of creating jobs, value, and development across the country. Cavaliere De Rosa emphasized the value of the ANGI Award as a moment of concrete dialogue between the world of young innovators and that of small and medium-sized enterprises, which form the backbone of the national economy. Innovation, he reiterated, only becomes real when it moves beyond slogans and presentations and transforms into solutions that improve people’s lives, starting with safety.
In the segment dedicated to the Innovation Business & Leader Awards, Mr. Berlusconi presented an award to Oraigo, an Italian startup specializing in neurotechnologies applied to road safety, officially recognized as a company that integrates artificial intelligence and brain monitoring to prevent drowsiness and fatigue while driving. The technology developed by Oraigo is based on a wearable device that detects the driver’s brain activity, a real-time analysis system supported by artificial intelligence algorithms, and a fleet management platform capable of providing data and metrics to improve shift schedules, safety protocols, and work organization. The goal is to transform road safety from a reactive system into a truly predictive and preventive model, intervening before fatigue leads to an irreversible error.
This vision aligns naturally with the commitment of Cavaliere Domenico De Rosa, who, through his group in the logistics and transportation sector, has for years invested in training, prevention, and innovative technologies to reduce human errors while driving and raise safety standards for drivers, fleets, and road users.
From the stage of Hadrian’s Temple, Cavaliere De Rosa then addressed a direct message to the younger generation, urging them not to settle for a marginal role, but to take charge of their own paths by applying their skills, education, and creativity, taking responsibility for their choices, and using technology as a tool to solve real-world problems—not merely as a passing fad. Cavaliere Domenico De Rosa’s words were intended to be both an encouragement and a call to practicality: innovation not as a theoretical exercise, but as a moral and civic duty, especially when it can save lives, protect those who work every day on trucks, buses, and industrial vehicles, and restore dignity to roadwork.
Cavaliere De Rosa’s presence at the ANGI “Innovation Oscars” at the Temple of Hadrian confirms his commitment to building a stable bridge between the world of startups—which brings vision, research, and experimentation—and the ecosystem of SMEs and large enterprises, which ensures local roots, employment, and industrial capacity. In this context, Mr. Domenico De Rosa reaffirms his commitment to supporting projects that combine technological innovation, safety, and social responsibility, promoting a development model in which young talents are not mere spectators but true protagonists of the Italy of the future.
