ISAAC was born at Politecnico di Milano with an ambitious question: can we rethink the way we protect buildings from seismic risk?

From this challenge, a company emerged where scientific research, engineering, and technology come together to bring active, measurable control of buildings’ seismic response, protecting people and everything that cannot stop: hospitals, schools, and critical infrastructure.

We are a multidisciplinary team of curious, hands-on, and passionate people. We enjoy challenging ourselves with complex problems and seeing them through to the end.

ISAAC is growing. If you’re someone who wants to make a real impact, you might be just the right fit for us.
