The Innovate Consortium and its impact on supercomputing
The Italian Innovate Consortium, made up of leading companies and institutions, has recently achieved a significant achievement in the field of supercomputing. This initiative, promoted by the EuroHPC joint venture, represents a fundamental step for Italy in the European technological landscape.
Coordinated by Cineca, the consortium includes illustrious names such as Almawave, Autostrade per l’Italia, BI-REX, ICSC Foundation, IFAB Foundation, Snam and UnipolSai.
EuroHPC and the growth of supercomputing in Europe
Launched in 2018, the EuroHPC initiative aims to create a supercomputing and quantum computing ecosystem that can position Europe as a leader in this sector. With the installation of supercomputers such as Leonardo and Eni’s HPC6, Italy has already reached third place in the world for total computing power. The Innovate project aims to further consolidate this strategic position, making Italy a hub of technological innovation

An innovative approach for industrial supercomputing
What sets Innovate apart is its innovative approach, being the first EuroHPC initiative to involve consortia of private partners. With a co-financing of 35%, the project aims to strengthen the European infrastructure with an advanced supercomputing system, designed specifically to meet the needs of the industry. This system will guarantee high standards of access, operation and security, making supercomputing more accessible to Italian and European companies

Implications for the market and the economy
Recent news from the financial market, such as the rise in Chinese stock markets and the positive trend in Tokyo, highlight a favorable economic environment that could benefit from technological innovation. The statements of Jerome Powell, President of the Fed, have positively influenced the markets, suggesting that innovation in the supercomputing sector could also have repercussions on global economic dynamics. With the Italian industry growing and supercomputing becoming increasingly central, the Innovate consortium positions itself as a key player in the country’s technological future
