“Digital sovereignty and technological independence are elements that I consider essential. Without proprietary technology, it’s impossible to think about the future of our country. We need to start talking about technological autonomy, which for me means being aware of the enormous potential of Italian companies."

In his full interview with Janina Benedetta Landau for Class CNBC Milano Finanza, Marco Tripi, CEO of Almaviva Group, had the opportunity to discuss the company’s strong 2025 financial results, its development strategy, and the group’s long-term vision.

The numbers: “A 25% increase in revenue and profitability in 2025, with €1.8 billion in consolidated revenues. €350 million in EBITDA. The figures are positive, also in terms of quality, reflecting global expansion and an increasingly strong focus on high-value-added markets and technologies."

Global positioning: “The quality of growth is reflected in our group’s global positioning: 51% of revenue comes from international markets. We’ve made significant investments and acquisitions, and will continue to do so. Our group has invested approximately €1 billion in M&A operations: from the acquisition of TIVIT, which has made us the second-largest ICT company in Brazil and one of the leading players in Latin America, to Iteris, a NASDAQ-listed US company focused on providing technological services for transportation in high-growth markets.”

Strong Italian and European roots: “Europe is one of our cornerstones. We’re an Italian and European company, starting with our ownership. When we talk about digital sovereignty we must consider how it applies to different sectors, from mobility, healthcare, and telemedicine to homeland security, cybersecurity, and the entire world of defense and security. These are strategic sectors, for which European ownership of companies is becoming an increasingly important factor.”

AI is fundamental: “In the last three years alone, we’ve invested over €100 million in the development of AI technology. Our AI development centers are and will remain in Italy, with the intention of combining Italian know-how and entrepreneurship with international markets, because only those with a global presence like ours can act as a driving force of technological innovation and help shape the future of our country.”
