The Statista and Corriere della Sera ranking has been published. The study selected a list of 130 Italian companies, ranging from manufacturing to finance, from energy to technology, and from services to infrastructure, representing an Italy capable of being a leader of innovation.

The analysis was guided by criteria such as:

• Product and service innovation (measured through elements such as patents, trademarks, new developments, and solutions introduced to the market);
• Process innovation (the adoption of tools, technologies, and organizational models that improve efficiency and workflows);
• Innovation culture (which assesses companies’ ability of companies to promote the contributions of their employees, support creativity, and foster internal entrepreneurship).
