G iuseppe Crippa is a self-made Italian billionaire and the founder of Technoprobe, a leading global manufacturer of micro-testing equipment for the semiconductor industry. An engineer by training, he founded the company in the 1990s from his garage with his family. He has since built it into a crucial and highly successful part of the global technology supply chain.

Technoprobe specializes in designing and manufacturing probe cards, which are sophisticated, high-precision interfaces used to test semiconductor wafers during the manufacturing process. As microchips have become smaller and more complex, the demand for Technoprobe's advanced testing technology has soared. He and his family took the company public on the Milan Stock Exchange in a highly successful IPO in 2022, but they retain a controlling stake. His son is now the CEO of the company.
