Tap into one of the largest tech markets in Europe
In 2025, SiGMA Central Europe will be held in Italy—a strategic move that positions the event in one of Europe’s most promising markets for tech. Join us from the 23rd to 26th of November as we step into the future.
Why Italy?
Italy offers a unique blend of historical legacy and forward-thinking innovation, making it an ideal destination for financial, technological, and entrepreneurial pursuits.
A financial and tech epicentre
An economic powerhouse, Italy is home to the Stock Exchange (Borsa Italiana), the nation’s sole stock exchange. Established in 1808 as a Merchandise Exchange, it now operates under the London Stock Exchange (LSE) Group, blending centuries-old financial history with modern infrastructure. The exchange lists many of Italy’s leading companies, cementing the country´s reputation as a global financial hub.
In addition to its financial clout, Italy leads the digital transformation. Recognised as the country’s top city for digital entrepreneurship, it has become a hub for tech innovation, particularly in mobile app development.
The Houses of Emerging Technologies
Italy’s tech landscape is evolving rapidly, offering fertile ground for startups, entrepreneurs, and developers. The Houses of Emerging Technologies (CTEs), an initiative by the Ministry of Enterprises and Made in Italy (MIMIT) supported by Fondazione Ugo Bordoni, plays a pivotal role in fostering technological growth.
Notably, the portal highlights success stories of startups leveraging emerging technologies to deliver innovative solutions across diverse sectors. These initiatives have supported businesses during scale-up and fundraising stages, showcasing Italy’s commitment to nurturing groundbreaking ideas.
Easy accessibility
Hosting SiGMA Central Europe in Italy also offers the advantage of easy accessibility, thanks to its worldclass international airports—that provide excellent connectivity for participants from around the globe. Italy also features a highly efficient public transportation system, with five metro lines and an extensive network of buses and trams that reach even the city’s outermost areas allowing delegates from important neighbouring jurisdictions to easily travel to the event.
