Leonardo Labs and Leonardo Academies

Leonardo Labs and
Leonardo Academies

To ensure the ongoing evolution of skills and encourage long-term sustainable growth, Leonardo has developed two open innovation formulas combining the excellence of the Group’s in-house expertise with external specialists.

Leonardo Labs are technological research and development hubs interconnected with universities, polytechnic institutes, research centres and enterprises. Located nearby the Group’s major industrial sites in Italy and the United States, these facilities bring together young research fellows and PhD students from across the globe to work with Leonardo experts and technicians.

Leonardo Academies are advanced education centres that ensure the constant update of key skills in Leonardo’s business areas. In particular, the Cyber & Security Academy in Genoa (Italy) and the Aerotech Academy in Pomigliano d’Arco, near Naples, respond to the growing demand for advanced education in areas such as digital engineering, deep learning and artificial intelligence. The faculty includes external experts, as well as Leonardo’s top specialists and technicians.
