Paolo Salvatore, the new CEO of the PNO Group, will place even greater emphasis on strengthening PNO’s international presence and expanding its digital services offering in innovation and funding consultancy. On March 26, Paolo Salvatore officially succeeded Peter Zwart, who remains a member of the Group’s Executive Board.
With offices in nine EU countries and more than 500 experienced consultants, PNO supports organizations throughout the entire innovation cycle, from strategy definition to execution, with a strong focus on innovation funding. The projects PNO supports represent a total value of over one billion euros annually.
Since its founding in 1985, PNO has become a well-established international consultancy with deep expertise and an extensive network in the field of innovation. Its services span from strategic planning to funding acquisition and project implementation. Through selective acquisitions and specialization in key industrial sectors, as well as AI-based digital tools, PNO has built a solid foundation to become the preferred partner for organizations committed to innovation and R&D.
According to Salvatore, “Over the years, PNO has built exceptional knowledge around innovation processes, grounded in deep collaboration with industry leaders, institutions, and even governments through countless projects. Today, we are leveraging that knowledge, together with our expertise in public funding for innovation and R&D, and our proprietary AI-powered tools and methodological insights, to support European organizations in their innovation challenges and contribute to a more sustainable, healthy, and inclusive Europe.”
