Olive harvesting tools are inefficient meaning the process is costly and environmentally harmful.
OlivAir gives growers the ability to generate the wind conditions required to make olives fall in the desired location at the exact degree of ripeness necessary. This results in 20% less olive wastage and 3 times faster harvesting, in a manner that replicates nature and requires no mechanical intervention and consequent damage to trees caused by traditional shaking methods.
Co-founder and CEO of Olivair, she holds a bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering and is currently pursuing a master's degree in aeronautical engineering at the University of Roma Tre. She was born in Reggio Calabria, where her family has been growing olive trees for generations. Here she discovered olive growing and among the olive trees the idea for Olivair was born. She has extensive experience in theater acting. Due to her versatile nature, she has assumed the job of CEO, acting as a link between the technical and business sides of project development, and is also responsible for prototype design. more
