Akeron kicks 2024 off with ambitious goals, marking the beginning of its international expansion. The software house, based in Lucca, translates market challenges into concrete opportunities for growth and value creation, placing people at the center of its processes. The company recently held its corporate kick-off between Lucca and Pietrasanta, where results and growth strategies were shared with employees, collaborators, and partners.
With a solid background in the dynamic Software Enterprise sector, Marco Pierallini and Manuel Vellutini lead Akeron with a clear mission: support companies using advanced technologies and two decades of business experience alongside major market organizations.
Combining these elements, Akeron now provides clients with software solutions that efficiently govern growth processes.
This led to the birth of the term “Growency,” coined by Akeron’s team merging “growth” and “efficiency.” It represents a combination of two key concepts highlighting the importance of promoting and facilitating business growth by anticipating needs and improving efficiency.
This virtuous and ambitious goal has set Akeron apart in the market, resulting in a rapid international escalation. Following France and England, a forthcoming expansion into North America has been announced, which will gain traction in the coming year.
“Our pursuit is one of continuous excellence,” declares Marco Pierallini, co-CEO of Akeron. “It is thanks to out-of-the-box thinking and a culture of innovation and creativity that we can create high-performance software solutions, serving as valuable allies for businesses worldwide.”
“The growing international dimension of Akeron is a value for all our stakeholders,” adds Manuel Vellutini, co-CEO of Akeron. “An experience that enriches our solutions, enabling them to grow and consequently foster the growth of our clients.”
Akeron already boasts 570 clients from various industries and sizes, including collaborations with Haier Group, the world’s leading appliance brand, and Intesa Sanpaolo Private Banking. Notable new clients in the past year include Lavazza, Amadori, Parmacotto, and Rovagnati, with a special Artificial Intelligence project related to sales.
In 2023, the positive trend translated into a revenue increase of over 30%, a 50% rise in new license sales, and the hiring of 40 new employees, bringing the total to 210. The continuously growing team, consists of true innovators and business experts driven by a passion for technology, representing the company’s pride.

The city’s IT sector has become a technological hub, involving over 700 resources. The rich history, culture, and creativity of the Lucchese territory attracts the best talents from universities, high-quality secondary schools, and research centers.
