Hot 25 Travel Startups for 2026: E23 Redefines Traveler Analytics
E23 is transforming how the travel industry understands passenger behavior, offering a platform capable of profiling traveler patterns and real-time location flow data across airports and railway stations worldwide. Traditional methods rely on costly hardware sensors, making large-scale insights difficult or impossible. E23 has solved this challenge with a scalable, innovative and cost-efficient technical solution that delivers unprecedented visibility into traveler movement and decision-making.
Below, E23 founder Alessandro Lo Piano shares the company’s strategic goals for 2026 and key lessons learned since launching the platform.
Strategic goals for 2026
By 2026, E23 aims to redefine airline and travel intelligence by providing real-time insights and predictive analytics on product usage, booking behavior and passenger flows across airports, railways, lounges and even in-flight environments. Powered by algorithmic super-intelligence, the platform analyzes detailed behavior patterns and integrates traveler profiling with real-time flow data. This information seamlessly connects with major digital out-of-home media channels, enabling brands to drive both long-term awareness and immediate performance results through targeted travel advertising.
Lessons learned since founding
“Personally, the first lesson I learned is that the real point is not chasing success but learning how to survive,” Lo Piano says. “The second is not to chase money or spreadsheets, but to build the character that money can trust.”
He explains that lasting, generational value comes from stewardship rather than ownership—making every opportunity, customer and talent count. “This isn’t something I usually speak about publicly—not because it’s a secret, but because there is no shortcut or coaching program that can teach it. It can only be learned through experience.”
