Supercomputing & Research Excellence: Italy’s AI Backbone

The Italian delegation also includes the participation of leading figures from CINECA, CMCC, ENEA, and ENI.

CMCC is a prestigious Italian institution that uses artificial intelligence to improve climate forecasting and prevent extreme events. The foundation will play a key role at the AI Summit, enhancing the visibility of Italian research.

CINECA is one of Italy's largest computing centers, globally recognized for its leadership in High Performance Computing (HPC), and serving as a crucial provider of solutions and services for universities, research centers, the Ministry of Education, the Ministry of University and Research, and other institutions.

ENEA is the Italian National Agency for New Technologies, Energy and Sustainable Economic Development. It is the second major Italian research organization, with around 2700 staff employees distributed in its 9 research centers all over the national territory.

ENI is one of the world’s major integrated energy companies and operates across the entire energy value chain, including oil and gas exploration and production, refining, distribution, power generation, and renewable energy. ENI is increasingly focused on the energy transition, with a strategy aimed at achieving net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050.

Italian companies attending the AI Summit will present the progress made in applying artificial intelligence to their production activities, as in the case of Stellantis, as well as their ongoing projects in the sector, such as those carried out by Almaviva and Harmonic Innovation Group.

The industrial sector will also be represented by AI4I, the Italian institute for artificial intelligence established in 2024 by the Italian government with the aim of promoting technological innovation and accelerating the digital transformation of Italy’s industrial fabric.

Italy’s participation reflects the steady growth of its technology sector. In recent years, the country has seen increasing venture capital activity, a rise in AI and deep-tech startups, and stronger links between research institutions and industry. Cities such as Milan, Rome, Turin, and Bologna are emerging as innovation hubs, supported by a solid industrial base that allows Italian companies to apply AI to real-world manufacturing, energy, infrastructure, and enterprise challenges.

Italy Positions Itself as a Trusted AI & DeepTech Partner for India

Participation in the AI Impact Summit underscores Italy’s commitment to international partnerships in high-technology sectors. As India accelerates its AI ambitions, Italy aims to position itself as a reliable technology partner, combining research excellence, industrial know-how, and agile innovation.

Through the Italian Pavilion, the Italian Trade Agency seeks not only to promote individual companies but also to deepen bilateral cooperation between Italy and India in artificial intelligence and emerging technologies, building bridges between two innovation-driven economies.
