Fondazione LINKS

Fondazione LINKS was created as a result of the desire of the Compagnia di San Paolo Foundation - Italy's largest banking foundation - and the Politecnico di Torino - a prestigious university, to equip themselves with a ‘tool’, i.e. an institution capable of operating in applied research, innovation and technology transfer: a bridge between basic research and the market.

LINKS has been operating for about 20 years on a national and international level and was established through the merger of two historical research institutes, the Istituto Superiore Mario Boella (ISMB) and the Istituto per i Sistemi Territoriali Innovativi (SiTI), and has become a point of reference not only for the academic world and society, understood as a set of citizens, but also for Institutions, Public Administration, Businesses and Investors.

With the collaboration of more than 160 researchers, the Foundation oversees technical-scientific disciplines in the fields of digital technologies and territorial development, such as Artificial Intelligence, connected systems and IoT, cybersecurity, advanced computing systems, optical and wireless networks, blockchain and satellite systems to realise innovative projects in various application sectors such as, for example, Industry 4.0, Intelligent Mobility, Agritech, Space Economy, Smart infrastructures and Cultural Heritage.

LINKS aims to promote, lead and enhance innovation processes through research projects with strong innovation potential that can create an impact on the production and public sectors, while facing an international context. The LINKS Foundation accelerates competitiveness by working with large multinational companies, small and medium-sized enterprises with a strong innovative vocation, but also aims to ‘accelerate the common good’ in partnership with public bodies, intermediate bodies, non-profit and cultural organisations.
LINKS also acts as a facilitator of the innovation ecosystem in its area of reference. With a budget of approximately EUR 17 million, LINKS boasts multiple collaborations with national and international Academies and Research Centres, a strong project capacity in the field of European research, and has close contacts with the business world.
