Genoa Digital Port: Ge-DIX expands with new strategic partners and aims to be at the forefront of technology

Ge-DIX (Genoa Data Internet Exchange) is accelerating its progress towards transforming Genoa into a ‘digital port’, an initiative launched in September 2022 by the City of Genova, Liguria Digitale, TOP-IX and major telecommunications companies.

In light of social developments in recent years, Ge-DIX’s objective is to facilitate data exchange for internet service providers through physical access to the network. This places Genova at the forefront of data routing efficiency and high-speed connectivity.

To support this growth and project the city onto the international stage, the consortium announces the arrival of new strategic partners, joining the recent addition of Nexim Global: Dime S.r.l., with expertise in networking, cybersecurity and structured cabling; M.G. Tecnosoluzioni, a leading player in the technology consultancy sector; Alet Communications, with proven experience in the sector and in ICT.

Meanwhile, Ge-DIX took part in the first edition of NamexUnplugged, a series of meetings organised by NAMEX – Rome’s main Internet Exchange Point – designed to bring the tech community together to discuss the evolution of the internet, during which Riccardo Luna presented his book “Qualcosa è andato storto” on the evolution of the environment within an ecosystem dominated by opaque algorithms and increasingly concentrated platforms.

Once again, the capital of Liguria has proven itself to be a catalyst for businesses and innovators, capable of embracing new technologies, interpreting social change and promoting cutting-edge technology in a sector that is constantly growing.
