Italian entrepreneur Giacomo Vose is steadily carving a name for himself on the global technology stage, not just for building platforms, but for using innovation to create real-world social impact. With a background in electronic engineering and a career that spans collaborations with NASA to the launch of Wishew—a digital platform for generosity—Vose represents a new wave of tech leaders redefining how technology can heal, unite, and inspire.

Born on November 28, 1984, in Sardinia, Italy, Vose grew up in a culture deeply rooted in community and cooperation. Those early influences shaped his belief in empathy and social connection, values that remain central to his career as a founder and CEO. After studying Electronic Engineering at the University of Pisa, he went on to work as a designer of hardware and software systems, sharpening his technical foundation while envisioning ways technology could be repurposed for human-centered solutions.

Vose’s global profile rose during his time at Arduino, the open-source hardware company that has empowered makers and innovators across continents. At Arduino, he distinguished himself by transforming products into accessible learning and creativity tools with a strong social impact.

His leadership was again evident during the COVID-19 pandemic, when he coordinated an international technology task force. Under his guidance, the group supported institutions such as NASA in designing emergency ventilators, Oxford University in distributing more than 40,000 hardware units for ventilator production, and MSC Cruises in deploying on-board health safety technology.

Today, Vose is best known as the founder and CEO of Wishew, a philanthropic social network designed to make generosity digital, transparent, and engaging. On the platform, users can share personal wishes or charitable goals and receive support from a global community. With features rooted in gamification and empathy, Wishew is redefining how people give and connect online.

Speaking on his vision, Vose said: “Technology should not only innovate, but also connect, empower, and inspire cooperation. With Wishew, we want to build a global culture where generosity is inclusive and accessible to everyone.”

Although not one to chase the spotlight, the Italian innovator is steadily building what some describe as a movement. By blending engineering expertise with humanitarian vision, he is proving that technology can serve as more than a tool for disruption—it can be a force for compassion and unity.

From Sardinia to the global tech stage, Giacomo Vose continues to show that innovation, when guided by empathy, can shape a better world.
