The Innovate Consortium: a step forward for Italy
The Italian Innovate consortium, made up of leading companies and institutions, has recently achieved a significant milestone: the first industry-grade supercomputer promoted by the EuroHPC joint venture. This initiative represents a fundamental step for Italy in the European and global supercomputing landscape
.
A consortium of excellence
Coordinated by Cineca, the consortium includes important names such as Almawave (Almaviva Group), Autostrade per l’Italia, BI-REX, ICSC Foundation, IFAB Foundation, Snam and UnipolSai.
This public-private collaboration is an example of how innovation can thrive through strategic synergies. The main objective is to develop a supercomputing and quantum computing ecosystem that can position Europe as a leader in this
sector.
EuroHPC: an ambitious initiative
The EuroHPC initiative, launched in 2018, aims to create a cutting-edge supercomputing infrastructure. With the installation of supercomputers such as Leonardo and Eni’s HPC6, Italy has already earned third place in the world for total computing power. This strategic positioning is essential to face future challenges in the field of technology and innovation.
Innovate: an innovative approach
The Innovate project stands out for its innovative approach, being the first EuroHPC initiative to involve consortia of private partners. With a co-financing of 35%, the consortium aims to enrich the European infrastructure with an advanced supercomputing system, designed specifically for industry. This system will have high standards of access, operation and security, making it a reference point for companies that want to exploit the potential of
supercomputing.
The future of supercomputing in Italy
With the implementation of Innovate, Italy not only strengthens its position in the supercomputing sector, but is also preparing to become a hub for technological innovation in Europe. Data processing capacity and computing power have become essential for companies operating in high-tech sectors, and the Innovate consortium is ready to respond to these needs
.
Conclusions
The Innovate consortium represents a victory not only for the companies involved, but for the entire Italian technological ecosystem. With the support of EuroHPC, Italy is preparing for a bright future in the field of supercomputing, positioning itself as a leader in a constantly evolving sector
