A Conversation with Luca Foresti, Chief Executive Officer Niulinx

An evening with Luca Foresti, founder and CEO of Niulinx, the Politecnico di Milano spin-off building a Level 4 autonomous driving platform designed around European regulation rather than retrofitted to it. Niulinx raised 38 million euro in April 2026, began public-road testing in Cernusco sul Naviglio and Brescia in June, and signed a memorandum of understanding with the City of Milan in September.

Foresti is a physicist who ran Centro Medico Santagostino from 2010 to 2024 and founded the startup studio First Principles. The conversation covers AI in vehicles, Europe's push for AI sovereignty, competing with global incumbents, shared autonomous fleets, and building deeptech at European scale.

Hosted by the HBS Club of Italy at Arca Fondi SGR, framed around the HBS, Wharton and Stanford alumni communities. Two hours, registration on Eventbrite, no ticket price published.

Why go: a founder putting driverless cars on Italian roads, taking questions for two hours. Best for deeptech founders, mobility and AI people, and investors looking at European hard tech.
