NM² is a startup focused on high-technology products and services in the ICT area, with primary target on Network Measurement and Monitoring, which is the origin of the name. NM² was born from an Academic spin-off of the University of Napoli Federico II, Italy, officially approved by the Board of the Directors of the University in September 2012. In February 2013, NM² has been awarded by the Italian Ministry of University and Research (MIUR) with a grant according to the Art.11 DM 593/2000 (progetti autonomamente presentati per attività di ricerca proposte da costituende società spin-off). Building on more than 13 years of award-winning, world-renowned academic research in this field, the core business of NM² is the design and implementation of systems for controlling, monitoring, managing, and securing network infrastructures and applications. Moreover, NM² - also thanks to its attention for the environment and its social activism and to new research projects - is developing platforms and services for Smart Cities.
