The complexity of today’s world is growing exponentially, and the transformation of our economy, infrastructure and energy is now unavoidable. The ability to deliver innovation at scale will be what sets the successful leaders of this transformation apart.

At RINA, our goal is not simply to innovate, but to innovate at scale. Achieving it has several implications.

First, it means we need to weave creativity, agility, and technological excellence into the fabric of RINA’s global operations. Ideas created in one part of the company, say in one of our dedicated Open Innovation Hubs in Singapore or Rome, can be rapidly tested, validated, and deployed across our entire ecosystem - from Abu Dhabi to Rio de Janeiro.

Thus, we are building a culture where innovation is not confined to Research & Development teams, but is a shared responsibility across every business unit, country and role.

Achieving scale also demands structure. RINA has invested in a range of cross-functional communities, such as Open Innovation Hubs, the R&D&I Communities and the AI Factory, aimed at bringing together clients, partners, and our own experts to co-create solutions.  

Such co-operation will be a key catalyst for the transformation needed. Underpinning this work is RINA’s Strategic R&D&I Plan. Innovation drives RINA’s growth, and the growth of our clients. In order to consistently deliver top-tier innovative services to our clients, the Plan has identified R&D&I trajectories in a set of key domains for our projects.

These projects are developed in collaboration with key stakeholders, including technology providers, pilot end users, public authorities, and civil representatives. Through our Open Innovation Hubs, the R&D&I Communities and the AI Factory, we are fostering collaboration across disciplines and geographies.

As we look toward 2030, our ambition is clear: to expand our global footprint, and in doing so lead the transition toward a more sustainable, digital, and resilient future. Innovation at scale - powered by a structured, strategic R&D&I plan - is how we will get there.
