Lutech, a European leader in digital technology and artificial intelligence, is expanding its presence in Naples: it has inaugurated its new ‘Public Sector AI Innovation Hub’ Research and Development Centre in Naples’ business district, which complements its existing office in the city. The new centre will primarily serve the public sector.
Since 2019, the Naples hub has seen a significant increase in recruitment, growing from an initial team of forty people to the current total of 700 across the region. Of these, as many as 250 are specialists dedicated to the activities of the Public Sector AI Transformation HUB and to technological innovation projects, working in close collaboration with the local academic community, including the University of Naples Federico II, Parthenope University and the University of Salerno.
Naples and the new public administration hub
The cornerstone of Lutech’s work for the public sector lies in administrative simplification and the automation of services for citizens, with the aim of making them more efficient, transparent and responsive to the real needs of local communities. This vision is brought to life through an integrated initiative comprising the Matrix and Icarus projects. Matrix enables advanced decision-making models based on a comprehensive, flexible and platform-agnostic agent-based platform that guarantees the highest standards of autonomy, security and transparency through the principle of human oversight. Icarus, on the other hand, applies intelligent technologies to the document management of procurement and end-to-end administrative workflows. The integration of these two solutions within Lutech BrAIn enables up to 85% of compliance checks to be automated and reduces document processing times by 30%, whilst ensuring full digital sovereignty over the data.
“The city of Naples plays a central role in the Lutech Group’s growth strategy as a European leader in digital technology and artificial intelligence. With the new Public Sector AI Transformation HUB and the recruitment of 100 new talents during 2026, we are strengthening our innovation ecosystem. Driven by a vision that combines high computational capabilities and agent-based artificial intelligence, Lutech develops interoperable platforms and predictive models designed for the public sector and citizens, capable of streamlining administrative processes, facilitating smart transport systems and supporting medical research,” says Giuseppe Di Franco, CEO of Lutech.
