Core42 has entered into a strategic Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Assolombarda, the prominent industrial association representing firms in Milan, Monza, Brianza, Lodi, and Pavia. This collaboration is designed to bolster the adoption of sovereign-enabled artificial intelligence and cloud infrastructure throughout Lombardy’s industrial sector. By integrating these technologies into Assolombarda’s "forgIA" initiative—a specialized ecosystem for secure industrial data exchange—the partnership aims to help businesses harness the power of AI while ensuring their intellectual property and data governance remain strictly protected.

By tapping into Core42’s extensive experience in deploying large-scale AI solutions in the UAE, this partnership creates a direct bridge between the industrial hubs of Lombardy and the technology leaders in Abu Dhabi. Member companies will gain access to specialized workshops, technical guidance, and collaborative forums focused on cybersecurity and data management. As Assolombarda continues to expand its footprint in the Middle East, this alliance serves as a pivotal step in transforming traditional trade relations into a systemic, innovation-driven partnership, helping Italian manufacturers navigate the complexities of the digital transition with confidence and global connectivity.
