Santo Stefano Ticino (MI), Milan, Italy, October 2, 2025- TIM Enterprise, the business unit of Telecom Italia (TIM), has announced a EUR 1 billion (USD 1.08 billion) investment plan over the next three years to accelerate Italy’s digital transformation and strengthen national technology sovereignty.
The plan was unveiled at the Unboxing TIM Enterprise Day in Santo Stefano Ticino, where TIM executives detailed the strategy to expand and modernize infrastructure. CEO Pietro Labriola, alongside Elio Schiavo, Chief Enterprise & Innovative Solutions Officer, and CFO Adrian Calaza, emphasized that the initiative positions TIM Enterprise as the “technology factory of Italy.”
The investment will fund the development of 17 data centers with a total installed capacity of 125 MW, including eight Tier IV facilities, representing half of all top-tier certified sites in the country. A new AI-ready data center is planned, and upgrades are scheduled for two existing facilities. In parallel, TIM Enterprise will allocate EUR 105 million (USD 113.4 million) to edge cloud infrastructure to support low-latency digital services.
Financial momentum supports the strategy: TIM Enterprise generated EUR 3.3 billion (USD 3.56 billion) in revenue in 2024, with cloud services surpassing EUR 1 billion (USD 1.08 billion). In the first half of 2025, cloud revenues grew by nearly 25% year-on-year, while the unit carries a contract backlog of EUR 4 billion (USD 4.32 billion) across corporate and public sector clients.
Elio Schiavo underscored the broader mission,
“We are developing a robust, secure, all-Italian infrastructure that can support ongoing technological transformation. Our investments in cloud, data centers, edge computing, and cybersecurity are guided by a clear industrial vision to provide a sovereign, scalable, and reliable platform.”
The initiative is closely tied to Italy’s Polo Strategico Nazionale (National Strategic Hub), a sovereign cloud project developed with Leonardo, CDP, and Sogei, designed to provide secure digital infrastructure for government and critical services.
By consolidating its cloud, IoT, AI, and cybersecurity divisions, including Noovle, Olivetti, and Telsy, under one industrial framework, TIM Enterprise is seeking to strengthen its hold in a market increasingly shaped by demand for sovereign and resilient infrastructure.
The EUR 1 billion (USD 1.08 billion) commitment marks one of the largest digital infrastructure investments in Italy, reinforcing TIM’s ambition to reduce reliance on foreign hyperscalers while positioning itself as a central pillar in Europe’s digital ecosystem.
