Where we are now

Digital transformation in critical sectors evolves at the speed of data The exponential growth of information generated by platforms, sensors and intelligent systems requires advanced computing capabilities to transform data into insights in real time. This is essential in critical missions, risk management, finance, healthcare, and industrial control.

At the same time, digital sovereignty and data protection are becoming crucial: geopolitical instability, new cyber threats and regulations such as GDPR, DORA and NIS2 necessitate solutions that ensure autonomy and resilience at the national and European level.

To this can be added the rise of “As-a-Service” models that are driving the use of on-demand HPC solutions, with the ability to go beyond the limits of legacy models, reduce the costs and times of uptake, and enable true operational scalability.

Three challenges to overcome

Operational and sensitive data

Slow response times compared to new AI-driven threats and processes 

Dependence on external vendors and non-compliant clouds, with the risk of lock-ins and loss of control 

What we offer

Over the years, Leonardo has developed a distinctive positioning in the European supercomputing arena through davinci-1, one of the most powerful proprietary infrastructures in the Aerospace, Defence and Security sector, and through industrial partnerships and a portfolio of solutions integrating cyber security, the cloud and artificial intelligence.  

This combination of competences and technological assets enables the company to offer sovereign computing capabilities and end-to-end services ranging from consultancy to design, from infrastructural management to algorithmic optimisation.
