Fincantieri and iGenius team up on AI

The collaboration will combine iGenius’s AI expertise with Fincantieri’s systems integrator knowledge in all sectors of the shipbuilding industry and will focus on both the civil and defence sectors, beginning with analysis of data from Fincantieri’s Omega 360 radar.

The partnership is part of Fincantieri’s wider plans to use technology to improve the performance, safety and efficiency of its products and processes.

“In order to enable artificial intelligence in our group, we started by selecting the most promising concrete cases and the most avant-garde players, which guarantee, on the one hand access to the best technologies, and on the other hand, the confidentiality of the processed data, thus protecting our know-how,” said Pierroberto Folgiero, chief executive and general manager of Fincantieri.

Founded in 2016 by chief executive Uljan Sharka, iGenius specialises in the development of business intelligence platforms based on generative AI, which simplifies access to data through a customised, natural-language system tailored to the needs of the user.

“This partnership represents a convergence of technological excellence and long-term vision, with the aim of introducing innovative generative artificial intelligence solutions made in Italy that will redefine the standards of efficiency, safety and sustainability in the shipping industry,” said Uljan Sharka, chief executive of iGenius.
