What Liguria Digitale does

Liguria Digitale S.p.A. is an in-house IT company (società in house) wholly owned by Regione Liguria and 40 public entity shareholders, headquartered at the Great Campus Science and Technology Park in Genoa, Italy. Founded in 1988 and operating with 251-500 employees, the company delivers comprehensive digital services to the Ligurian public administration, including regional government, 5 local health authorities (ASL1-5), Ospedale Policlinico San Martino, Ospedale Evangelico, ARPAL, the Western Ligurian Sea Port Authority, the Tribunale di Genova, and 200+ Ligurian municipalities serving 1,851,000 users.

The company's technology stack is organized around six core solution areas: Cloud e Interoperabilità (IaaS/PaaS/SaaS certified infrastructure), Cyber Security (24/7 SOC/NOC, SIEM, EDR, security awareness), Data Analysis and Business Intelligence (Big Data platform, OLAP, computer vision, predictive analytics), GDPR Compliance (DPO-as-a-Service, PrivacyWeb SaaS), Comunicazione (events, multimedia, social media), and Software Development. The infrastructure spans virtual datacenters, a SOC&NOC operations center, and the Polo Strategico Regionale cloud framework, all backed by 14 quality and security certifications including ISO 27001, ISO 20000-1, ISO 22301, CSA STAR Level 2, and TIA 942-C. The portfolio includes specialized products such as the Salute Simplex unified healthcare platform, PrenotoSalute booking, the Fascicolo Sanitario Elettronico, the Liguria Wi-Fi federation, Bandi Online, GENIOWEB, GProx (adopted by Sardinia and Abruzzo), and the Scuola Digitale Liguria initiative. The company also coordinates the PNRR Competence Center and the HPC and AI Factory Protocol with over 5,300 signatories.

Liguria Digitale generates revenue through managed-services contracts and professional services under public procurement frameworks. As an in-house provider, it operates without a commercial go-to-market targeting private enterprise; services are procured directly by its public-sector shareholders and members. Pricing is contract-based and not publicly disclosed. The company is led by Direttore Generale Enrico Castanini and Amministratore Unico Pier Paolo Greco, with Roberto Crocco heading Digital Infrastructure. Revenue, ownership structure, and external funding are not publicly disclosed, and the company operates as a strategic digital partner for the Liguria Region rather than a commercially driven enterprise.
