The commitment with Engineering takes on particular value in light of the rapid evolution of the technological context of the country which requires the search for cutting-edge solutions".
Maximo Ibarra, CEO of Engineering, comments: "The challenges we are experiencing must be faced by creating synergies and innovative partnerships for the market and for people. The MoU signed with Leonardo makes us particularly proud because it was designed to put the commitment of two Italian excellences with strong human capital at the service of the country. As a Digital Transformation company that has the ambition to be a strategic asset for companies and PAs, we sign this partnership, sharing technological skills and cross-cutting knowledge, to support players from all markets in digitization processes in which Cybersecurity strategies are also an integral part of a sustainable and inclusive Digital Transformation".

At the same time, the commitment of Leonardo and Engineering, companies with a high rate of human capital, will be equally crucial in pooling their respective excellences to create training paths on highly innovative issues.
