Innovation has been the hallmark of
Italy since ancient times. From the Roman Empire when advancements such as the aqueduct revolutionised the world
to the present-day masterminds behind its precision engineering, Italy is a world leader in innovation.
Generation after generation, Italian scientists have continued to build upon this legacy, be it with the
development of the pianoforte in the beginning of the 18th century, to the first espresso coffee machine in 1884
and the radio by Guglielmo Marconi in 1895. While more recent discoveries include mirror neurons and the modern
microchip.
Today, Italy continues to be at the forefront of innovation, with more than 105,000
high-tech
companies. It has the fastest-growing life science sector in Europe and is also a leader in renewable energy,
the pharmaceutical industry and robotics. From its esteemed research centres to its pioneering tech sector,
Italy is a global hub for innovation. Experience it.
Imagination
Italian excellence extends far beyond the imagination, and through our innovation we give our athletes wings. The Italian prosthetics centre in Budrio is the driving force behind the country's numerous Paralympic victories: Italian excellence can be found even within the world of plaster and carbon fibre, robotics, and 3-D printers. Our powers of imagination and innovation translate into inclusive greatness... One that transcends obstacles and prejudices.
Invention
Italians are renowned for their creativity. However, creativity is not exclusively reserved to the arts. Science, technology, robotics… Italian inventiveness is represented in every sector. Our work in the field of robotics and automation is globally renowned for its centres of excellence, and our robotics industry alone is a rapidly evolving ecosystem that is expected to thrive and impact all aspects of life across the global market.
"Qualunque decisione tu abbia preso per il tuo futuro, sei autorizzato, e direi incoraggiato, a sottoporla ad un continuo esame, pronto a cambiarla, se non risponde più ai tuoi desideri"
"Whatever decision you took for your future, you are allowed - or, even better, invited - to question it continually. You should be ready to change it if it does not align with your expectations"
Vision
Italy's journey to the moon begins! Italy’s aerospace sector, with
its constant drive for innovation, has an iconic place among Italy’s industries. The sector reflects some of
the most distinguishing aspects of Italian industry, such as the ability to compete with large multinational
corporations while still delivering some of the most cutting-edge technologies the world has ever seen.
Being only the third country in the world to have launched and operated a satellite in orbit, Italy’s
aerospace sector has gained much international recognition and exposure.
Ever since the 1964 launch of San
Marco 1, Italy has been at the forefront of space exploration and research for over half a century. More
recently, Argomoon, the microsatellite designed and developed by Argotec (financed and managed by the
Italian Space Agency), represents the first of several key initiatives that places Italy, and its vision for
space, at the forefront of innovation.
