Bio Building Block

The innovative startup BBB srl was founded in 2020 from the entrepreneurial idea based on the international patent and the courageous vision of Marco Citro, founder of the startup and inventor of the BioBuildingBlock module.

The R&D strategy underpins the technical development of the startup BBB, confirming its design innovation and added value compared to competitors. The startup collaborates closely with leading national research centers such as the Strength Engineering Department at UniSa, the ITC-CNR in Milan, and the IUAV University: this has allowed it to conduct a series of experimental tests preparatory to obtaining ETA certification and CE marking.

The startup team is diverse in background but united by a strong green spirit and a desire to change the construction landscape thanks to the highly innovative value of BioBuildingBlock, enabling the construction of reinforced wooden walls that increase seismic safety and living comfort. The current housing module solution makes the construction of single- and two-family homes, tourist and hospitality facilities, and even multi-patient health centers even easier, quicker, and more cost-effective. To date, BBB has four approved patents, three in green technologies and one in digital health. Taken together, these various patents perfectly represent the values of innovation and sustainability encoded in the DNA of the young startup BBB.

The BioBuildingBlock biobrick is covered by an international patent already approved in Europe and the USA. BioBuildingBlock has won the international “Innovation & Excellence Award” for innovation and sustainability for 2022 and 2023, respectively: the highest recognition of the startup’s two core values: sustainability and innovation.
