Almawave becomes one of the first companies worldwide to be awarded ISO/IEC 42001 certification by DNV, one of the first globally accredited certification bodies for the new international standard dedicated to Artificial Intelligence management systems. Few AI producers in the world have obtained this certification to date and Almawave, in this context, is among the first European multimodal producers to be certified.

The award recognizes Almawave as a producer and developer of AI technologies. It attests to the company’s ability to manage the entire technology life cycle and its application of strict quality, safety, reliability and demonstrability criteria, in full compliance with regulations.

The certification specifically covered the development, production and delivery of the proprietary AIWave, a proprietary Multiagent technological platform developed by Almawave, that enables technologies and models to be integrated, transforming natural language into data, knowledge, actions and interactions. It also includes Velvet, the family of multilingual generative Artificial Intelligence models – also designed entirely by the Almaviva Group company – combining effectiveness, streamlined consumption and adaptability to multiple vertical application sectors.

Valeria Sandei, Almawave CEO, underlines: “Being one of the very few AI companies in the world, and among the first in Italy, to receive this certification is a valuable strategic milestone for us. This certification – which covers the entire scope of operation of the Almawave Multiagent platform and our Velvet generative models, across a range of application use cases – confirms our role as a key player in the European Artificial Intelligence ecosystem, reiterating our ability to combine technological innovation, solid governance and attention to ethical principles. This landmark strengthens our positioning, further qualifying a wide product range that is already geared toward excellence, transparency and sustainability. We evolve in line with the challenges and opportunities presented by increasingly effective AI, always keeping in mind the guiding principles and the complex needs of the sectors in which we operate”.
