About us

The network of Italian CIOs

CIO Club Italia is the network of Chief Information Officers (CIOs), CxOs (CTOs, COOs), IT Managers and other information technology executives in Italy, founded in 2019.

Our mission

The social purpose of CIO Club Italia is to promote the spread of digitalization as a common tool for enabling innovation.

The association aims to bridge economic and gender gaps in the IT sector, promoting an inclusive and accessible digital culture for all professionals.

After just 15 months of activity we joined Repubblica Digitale, the national strategic initiative promoted by the Department for Digital Transformation of the Presidency of the Council of Ministers.
