A startup, but with experience
Since its inception, Italy & Partners has begun to accumulate important experiences. Let’s retrace them together to follow the most important projects and initiatives launched in recent years.
2020
2020 was the year of the foundation, with the official constitution as an innovative startup pursuant to Law Decree no. 179 of 18 October 2012 on “Further urgent measures for the growth of the country”, converted with amendments by Law no. 22 of 17 December 2012.
2021
In 2021 we mark the milestone of the first signing of an important partnership contract with an Italian SME with the aim of contributing to the digital transformation of the Public Administration through the provision of enabling tools for Smart City and Smart Land strategies. The work therefore involved in-depth research to define the design standards of the prototype of a data platform, aimed at promoting the spread of electric mobility.
Secondly, the Italy & Partners team was then involved in further collateral projects aimed at creating Urban Data Platforms able to contribute to the development of local ecosystems, i.e. open environments consisting of technologies, rules, actors and processes that require a shared way of governing data to facilitate the creation of new services for City Users. This activity has allowed to define a model for the development of data-driven policies, which facilitate decision-making processes, while providing tools for data analysis and comparison to support city management. And not only that: these prototypes have also facilitated the collection and integration of data, providing reliable information and enabling the creation of new public services.
2022
With the arrival of 2022, a new partnership contract is signed with another Italian SME, Invisiblefarm and TSCAI, in order to design and implement together an innovative solution that will give a strong boost to the growth of the Italian territory (and not) in the perspective of Smart City.
The collaboration involves the development of a tool, called CityBadge, which will be able to measure the current state of a territory in the digital transformation process, monitoring its growth over time. Through the detection of 6 macro-indicators (Essentials, Technicals, Organizational, Communication, Economics, Social) we will then be able to analyze the strengths and weaknesses of a local authority, thus defining a preparatory starting point for setting up an adequate Smart City plan. This model will involve public bodies, stakeholders and citizens in the analysis, underlining the importance and impact that all these actors will play in the city of the future. Through this approach we will be able to support the digital growth of the territories, orienting them in the definition of projects integrated with their needs.
2023
In 2023 Italy & Partners strengthens its team with the inclusion of a senior manager expert in Public Administration, Smart City and Urban Innovation. The partnership with Invisiblefarm for the design of a Data Platform for the network of Experimental Zooprophylactic Institutes is renewed and expanded, followed by the further development and registration of CityBadge in the SIAE Public Software Register.
The expansion and diversification of activities continues with a collaboration with Urban Futures to support market analysis activities, design of solutions and assistance for venture building processes. But also with a contract with Tiscali to support the development of the HighView video analysis platform as part of the CTE projects in Pesaro and Campobasso funded by the MoED.
In addition, 2023 is also the year in which two interesting collaborations are launched with the Municipality of Albisola Superiore (SV) and the Municipality of Flero (BS) to support the design and development of Resilient Energy Communities (CER).
Finally, in terms of community building, a cooperation was activated with FPA for strategic and managerial support in the design, construction and animation of an international community on the themes of smart city and urban innovation.
2024
In 2024, Italy & Partners kicks off with the renewal of the partnership with Urban Futures and Invisible Farm in order to continue their joint work on city digitization.
Among other achievements, there is also the renewal of the UNI PdR 125 certification, along with the acquisition of a new certification: ISO 9001, related to Quality Management Systems. This is an important milestone that further distinguishes Italy&Partners for the high level of services it offers. Among this year’s novelties are the projects launched with START 4.0 and the Province of Brescia, both aimed at continuing the digitalization process of cities. Additionally, a new collaboration agreement has been signed with Yalla Security.
2025
For Italy & Partners, 2025 opens as a new chapter of growth and consolidation, driven by the goal of further strengthening the quality of services and the company’s role in Italy’s digital transformation processes.
The year begins with the renewal of the UNI PdR 125 and ISO 9001 certifications, a result that once again confirms the company’s concrete commitment to equity, inclusion, and excellence in business process management.
Among the main milestones achieved, the start of the Consip Framework Agreement for software development in Public Administration stands out: a strategic step that will enable Italy & Partners to contribute even more significantly to the modernization of public services.
On the collaboration front, the year marks the launch of a new and important synergy with Almaviva and Iobo, laying the foundations for projects focused on technological innovation and digitalization at a national level.
2025 is also the year that sees the successful completion of the Start 4.0 project, developed together with InvisibleFarm and Aitek, which allowed us to enhance our assessment tool and contribute to smarter and more connected city management.
In the public sector, Italy & Partners played a leading role in Apulia with the launch of GIAC, an advanced digital system for managing council acts, representing a new benchmark for administrative efficiency and transparency. Another project has also been contracted for the Sicilian Region, confirming the company’s ability to replicate innovative models while adapting them to the needs of different territories.
The year closes with a major contract for an access control system for the entry gates of the Gioia Tauro Port Authority, in collaboration with Aitek, along with the renewal of the partnership with Yalla for the promotion of cybersecurity services in Public Administration.
