What Activa Digital does

Activa Digital is an Italian enterprise technology company founded in July 2023 as the consolidated tech arm of Gruppo Activa (founded 2002), headquartered in Rome with offices in Florence and Molfetta. The company is organized around five business areas — Digital Solutions, Infrastructure Services, Software Engineering, Data & AI, and Next Gen Tech — and serves both Italian private enterprises and the Public Administration, with a documented reference deployment at ASL BT (Barletta Andria Trani) for digital citizen services.

The portfolio combines proprietary platforms with multi-vendor integration. Activa Digital owns and develops Chorally (asynchronous customer engagement now integrated with IBM Watson X), Alechin (managed SOC and cybersecurity), Artence (blockchain-based NFT art ecosystem), Navarcos (cloud-native automation released as open source on GitHub), an AI Platform with Multi-Agent Multi-LLM support across OpenAI, Microsoft, IBM, and Meta, a Data Platform for batch and streaming pipelines, and Lumy (a Generative AI virtual agent). Next Gen Tech operates R&D labs in NLP/ML, intelligent automation (RPA + GenAI + Blockchain), customer experience and big data, and an AI Computing Factory for GPU workloads.

Revenue mechanics mix project-based IT consulting, recurring managed services (infrastructure, cloud, and SOC operations), and platform/subscription components around proprietary software. GTM combines direct enterprise field sales, public-sector procurement engagement, and channel leverage through deep partnerships with IBM and Microsoft plus Cisco, Palo Alto, NetApp, VMware, Algorand, and the system integrator Engineering. At founding the company set three-year targets of €30M in business volume, 300 employees (versus a 2026 headcount of 160), and €10M in R&D investment, and reports channeling 5% of revenue into R&D annually.
