Italy will play a central role in one of Europe’s most ambitious artificial intelligence projects. The European Commission has selected EUROPA, a consortium led by the Italian company Domyn, to develop a new open-source frontier AI model designed to work in all 24 official languages of the European Union.
The decision gives Italian innovation a highly visible place in the global AI race, where the United States and China have dominated much of the conversation. Domyn, founded in Milan in 2016, will guide a European team that includes major research and technology partners, including Germany’s Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft. The goal is to create a model that reflects Europe’s languages, values, institutions, and industrial needs.
