What Agilae does

Agilae Srl is a privately held Italian management and innovation consulting firm headquartered in Naples, founded in 2018 and operating with 11–50 employees. The company organizes its services into four consulting units: Digi-Green Transition (DGT) for sustainability integration, Digital Business Transformation (DBT) for operational modernization, Entrepreneurship & Strategy Advisory (ESA) for strategy work, and Risk & Process Management (RPM) for cybersecurity, NIS2/GDPR/ISO 27001 compliance, and process optimization. Beyond advisory work, Agilae has developed two technology platforms through publicly funded consortium projects: ORIONE, an IoT and digital twin platform for industrial waste logistics that integrates sensors, predictive algorithms, blockchain, and AI (completed at TRL 7 in July 2025), and MUSEA, a multimodal AI platform for cultural heritage institutions using large language models, retrieval-augmented generation, and CIDOC-CRM-based Knowledge Graphs (completed at TRL 7 in October 2025).

Agilae's business model is primarily professional services revenue, quote-based and customized per engagement, with no publicly disclosed pricing. A meaningful share of recent activity has been funded through Italy's PNRR (National Recovery and Resilience Plan) research grants — Agilae acts as consortium lead on ORIONE (ECOSISTER program, 2024) and MUSEA (FAIR program, April 2025), partnering with technology firms and Italian universities. The firm also generates revenue from R&D project certification under Italy's tax credit regime, following its July 2024 accreditation into the Albo dei Certificatori (Registry of Certifiers) maintained by the Ministry of Enterprises and Made in Italy.

Agilae serves primarily Italian mid-market enterprises across packaging (Flexpackaging, Tecnocap), food (LaMolisana, La Doria, La Fiammante), energy (Q8), fashion (ISAIA), hospitality (MuranoSPA), manufacturing (Idal Group), and biomaterials (Bioplast). It is a founding member of the Fabbrica Italiana dell'Innovazione incubator focused on Green Economy, Blue Economy, and Cultural & Creative Industries. The firm's leadership consists of Francesco Castagna as legal representative; no external institutional investors or parent company have been disclosed. Operations are exclusively domestic within Italy.

Broad incumbents

• Reply: Italian-headquartered digital services group combining consulting, system integration, and proprietary technology platforms across IoT, AI, and digital twin. Highly comparable to Agilae's ORIONE-style IoT/digital-twin approach, but operates at much larger scale across multiple European markets.

• Almaviva: Large Italian IT services group with strong public-sector and enterprise footprint in digital transformation and innovation. Comparable to Agilae in scope of digital and innovation services for Italian organizations, but with substantially greater scale and breadth.
• Engineering Group (Ingegneria Informatica): One of Italy's largest IT services and digital transformation groups, with deep public-sector and enterprise consulting presence. Directly comparable to Agilae on digital transformation, innovation, and digitalization for Italian enterprises, but at vastly greater scale and broader scope.
• NTT Data Italia: Major IT consulting and systems integrator with strong Italian enterprise and public-sector presence. Competes with Agilae for the same digital transformation and innovation mandates from Italian mid-market and large enterprises, though at significantly larger scale.

Direct peers
