Phi Drive receives the Premio America Innovazione at the Italian Chamber of Deputies
Rome, April 9, 2026
Phi Drive Srl has been awarded the Premio America Innovazione by the Fondazione Italia USA, one of Italy's most prestigious institutional recognitions for innovative startups and SMEs operating in global markets.
The Premio America Innovazione is awarded annually to up to 300 Italian entrepreneurial talents whose companies demonstrate outstanding innovation, international competitiveness, and long-term investment capacity. Winners are selected by the Fondazione Italia USA through the national business registry system, with no possibility of self-nomination. The prize carries particular significance as an independent institutional validation, a mark of quality recognized by investors and international partners alike.
This recognition confirms what our work has been demonstrating: after years in which nanometric motion seemed ahead of its time, it is now becoming a concrete industrial reality worldwide and Phi Drive is positioned as the specialist partner to make it happen in advanced photonics and optoelectronics.
Phi Drive introduces a new paradigm in micromanipulation and optical alignment, based on patented piezoelectric architectures that deliver nanometric motion exactly where conventional mechanics can no longer meet performance and integration requirements.
This is the innovation we are proudly driving from Italy to the United States and to the global market.
