AlmavivA

What AlmavivA does

AlmavivA is a privately-held Italian digital innovation group founded in 1970 and headquartered in Rome, operating 65 subsidiaries across 22 countries with approximately 40,000 employees. The company delivers mission-critical IT services, digital relationship management (DRM/contact-center outsourcing), and AI-driven platforms to Italian and international public administrations, healthcare, transportation, utilities, telecommunications, financial services, and defense clients. Its customer base spans central government ministries (Ministry of Economy and Finance, INPS, Ministry of Environment), regional and municipal bodies (Regione Campania, Regione Veneto, Roma Capitale, Comune di Milano), infrastructure operators (ANAS, RFI, Mobilità Roma), and large enterprises (Fincantieri, ACEA, SMAT).

The group's technology portfolio is anchored by the AIWave cognitive platform and the Velvet family of large language models — Velvet 25B (B2B, EU-sovereign), Velvet 14B, and Velvet 2B (open-source multilingual, trained on Italy's Leonardo supercomputer at Cineca) — combined with vertical platforms including CITIZY (smart city), MOOVA (Mobility-as-a-Service), HELIOS and PNT (digital health and national telemedicine), DCM (omnichannel customer management), Smart Road & C-ITS, and ClearGuide. Cybersecurity tools (CybeRisk Vision, Piattaforma Giotto) and the OncologIA AI-oncology research project extend the IP base. Recent product launches also include collaboration with the European Central Bank and Fabrick on the digital euro.

AlmavivA generates revenue primarily through multi-year managed-services contracts with government and enterprise clients, supplemented by subscription/recurring revenue from the People-centered Technology (AI) unit and professional services. Go-to-market is predominantly enterprise field sales supported by a deep regional office network (44 sites in Italy, 36 abroad), technology-partner co-selling (Microsoft, AWS, Google Cloud, Oracle, SAP, etc.), and event-driven demand generation. Pro-forma 2025 revenue is disclosed at approximately €1.8 billion.
