In the age of digital transformation, advanced technologies have become a strategic lever for business competitiveness. High-Performance Computing (HPC) is rapidly emerging not only as a cornerstone of scientific research, but also as a key enabler of innovation and growth for companies, thanks to its ability to process massive volumes of data at extremely high speed.
Against this backdrop, EuroCC Italy has designed a new training course focused on the potential of HPC in business environments, positioning it as a strategic driver of innovation and development. The session, titled “Supercomputing and simulation for Digital Transformation”, will take place on Wednesday, 17 December, at the BI-REX Competence Center in Bologna.
Supercomputing and simulation for Digital Transformation: Innovation and Growth with EuroCC Italy
17 December 2025, 10:00 am – 4:00 pm
BI-REX Competence Center – Bologna (BO)
Organised by EuroCC Italy in collaboration with CINECA and BI-REX, “Supercomputing and simulation for Digital Transformation” is aimed at business innovators, entrepreneurs, executives, decision-makers, and heads of R&D, IT and OT.
It offers a unique opportunity to explore the strategic value of HPC in industrial and production contexts. Participants will gain insight into how to embed supercomputing within business processes, through real-world use cases and Proof-of-Concept models.
