Elettronica Celebrates 70th Anniversary with an Eye to the Future

Elettronica SpA, a leader in the electronic defence sector and a strategic player in international security, recently celebrated their 70th anniversary in Rome. The Italian company has been pioneering innovation in military platforms for 30 governments all over the world.

In the presence of distinguished representatives from the sector, the anniversary of the company was celebrated with an event devoted to the vision of the future. The event put the spotlight on new technological frontiers such as cybersecurity, drones, and big data, that intertwine with the unforeseeable and changing geopolitical dynamics.

Starting from a laboratory at the Tiburtina district of Rome with 25 employees, it presently employs over 1,000 staff with five offices worldwide, from Asia to the Middle East, and two subsidiary companies, the German Elt GmbH specialising in Homeland Security and Cy4Gate, an Italian company with excellence in cyber intelligence and cyber security.

In the current climate, where technology impacts on geopolitics, Europe needs to reaffirm its role by finding a new strategic position, redefining the global alliances, and asserting its own technological sovereignty.

Chairman Enzo Benigni said, “The sector of defence is about to face a huge change from a social, geopolitical and technological point of view, that will change the old rules; an epoch-making turning point, a Great Future. The concurrence of political stability, the lively debate on the European defence and the new financial resources introduced by the Italian PNRR have laid the bases for an ideal condition to face and govern this great change. We feel that our company is the protagonist of this moment in consideration of its distinctive skills and for showing the existence of a European defence both in its shareholding and through the participation in the main European defence programmes”.

The world in which we live, and that includes the new scenario of the defence, is a network full of connected smart devices. The connective tissue of this network is the electromagnetic spectrum, where Elettronica have been studying and innovating for the last 70 years.

Domitilla Benigni added: “The conflicts we need to be ready to face are silent and invisible. We see this clearly in the so-called “super systems”, the interconnected platforms of the future that work on the electromagnetic spectrum, and we from Elettronica have been focusing our attention for 70 years on the dominance of this environment.”
