STEP is a spin-off from the University of Salento. The main mission of STEP is to convert scientific results achieved within the EML² (ElectroMagnetic Lab of Lecce, Department of Innovation Engineering, University of Lecce, Italy) into industrial products.

STEP federates fellows belonging to the EML² group (supervised by Prof. Luciano Tarricone) and an Italian SME operating in the information technology sector which is located in Lecce, i.e. SVIC srl.

EML² support consists in its long-dated experience in several advanced research areas, such as design and implementation of RFID systems, advanced information systems, Wireless Power Transmission and energy harvesting solutions.

SVIC srl helps in transforming EML² achievements into products appealing for the market.

STEP was winner in the Agrifood-Cleantech category of Start Cup Puglia 2012.
