SANNAZZARO DE’ BURGONDI, Italy—A Roman tech company has been inspired by Einstein—Hermann Einstein, that is—to do its part for renewable energy here in the countryside south of Milan.
The husband-and-wife owners of an artificial-intelligence startup and tech incubator are resurrecting a hydropower plant designed more than 125 years ago by Albert Einstein’s father. If all goes to plan they will contribute more to the country’s electricity grid than they consume.
