The study and application of computing technology. Italy has significant contributions to early computing — Federico Faggin co-invented the microprocessor (Intel 4004, 1971). Italy's tech sector has been slower to develop than Northern Europe's, but startups are growing in Milan and Rome. Italy's digital divide between North and South remains a development challenge. Italy-India IT cooperation is growing.
