Technological innovation for businesses and citizens
IFAB for Businesses and
Public Authorities
IFAB acts as a bridge between high-performance computing technologies and services and the needs of businesses and society. Big Data, Artificial Intelligence, Quantum Computing and, more generally, High Performance Computing systems represent an enormous opportunity for industry, medicine and the energy sector, but also for the management of water and food resources, for resilience to climate change, for transport and urban systems. Enormous potential that must take tangible form in real-life projects, such as the ones the Foundation selects in its Calls for projects, or which take shape within national and international networks like the National HPC Centre and the EuroCC Italy Competence Centre, of which IFAB forms part.

In particular, IFAB addresses small and medium-sized businesses and their associations with the aim of helping them rise to their challenges and generate a real impact, guiding them towards technological innovation. The Foundation is able to outline the emerging and future prospects of scientific and technological development and of the ongoing transformations in production, acting as an independent and influential international point of reference for businesses interested in Big Data, Artificial Intelligence, HPC and Quantum Computing.
Additionally, as a founding member of the National Centre for HPC, Big Data and Quantum Computing, envisaged by the National Recovery and Resilience Plan (PNRR) and founded in 2022, IFAB represents an access point to expert research for private companies, and particularly for SMEs, also thanks to the Foundation’s International Scientific Board and network with international universities and research bodies.
Many companies have already decided to be part of IFAB and boost their path towards innovation.
