We are building the European operating system for agentic AI.

Altilia is a spin-off of the Italian National Research Council. We give every organisation, regardless of size or sector, the enterprise brain that democratises AI adoption and helps companies compete in the era of agentic AI.

Activate potential. Amplify people. Accelerate transformation.

Unleash the untapped brilliance in people and organisations through AI. Empower individuals and teams with intelligent agents that scale human value. Drive systemic, sustainable progress in business and in society.

For decades, companies forced people to adapt to rigid systems, fragmented tools and manual processes. Altilia reverses that model: agents live inside the same OS and embed into the apps people already use. The AI comes to the human, not the human to the AI.
