At Fincantieri, engineering is a driving force in building a sustainable future. It enables us to design the first zero-emission ship by 2035. To reduce emissions today. To transform shipyards through smart, integrated technologies and digital innovation. For us, engineering means leading the transition - with concrete actions and a long-term vision for the future we are bringing on board, every day.

Italy and Greece today signed in Rome the Implementing Arrangement concerning the transfer, through Fincantieri, of two FREMM frigates, Carlo Bergamini and Virginio Fasan, currently in service with the Italian Navy fleet, to the Hellenic Navy. The agreement was signed between the General Directorate of Defence Investments and Armaments (GDDIA) of the Ministry of National Defence and its Italian counterpart, the Italian General Directorate for Armaments, in the presence of Italian Minister of Defence Guido Crosetto, Greek Minister of National Defence Nikos Dendias, and the Chiefs of the respective Navies, Admiral Giuseppe Berutti Bergotto and Admiral Dimitrios-Eleftherios Kataras. Representing Fincantieri were our CEO Pierroberto Folgiero, and Eugenio Santagata, our General Manager of the Naval Vessels Division. The Implementing Arrangement follows the Memorandum of Cooperation and the Declaration of Intent signed in September 2025 and further strengthens relations between Italy and Greece. We will play a leading role both in the transfer process and in providing support throughout the entire lifecycle of the two vessels, while also contributing to the strengthening of industrial cooperation with Greece. Designed and built by us for the Italian Navy, the two frigates represent one of the most advanced expressions of the Group’s technological and industrial capabilities, combining innovation, operational support, and long-term international cooperation, while also demonstrating the value of the FREMM platform in terms of adaptability, flexibility, and continuity of naval operations. @ItalianNavy @MinisteroDifesa @GuidoCrosetto @NikosDendias

🚢 🤖 Today, @G_Bionics takes an important step in the industrial journey with @Fincantieri to release 𝐆𝐄𝐍𝐄.01/𝐖, our robot 𝐖elding line. We are starting a four-year partnership with #fincantieri# to deploy #GENE01# in shipyard environments for welding applications: one of the most complex and demanding industrial environments. To achieve this, we will optimize GENE.01 for the specific needs of shipyard operations, giving rise to the first dedicated series of our Physical AI platform: the 𝐆𝐄𝐍𝐄.01/𝐖, our #welding# line. The project pursues our mission to build and deploy humanoid robots around human work: systems that can support people in highly repetitive, physically demanding and specialized tasks, while improving safety, quality and long-term sustainability. Shipyards are a strategic asset of world manufacturing. This context for industrial validation means holding our technology to very high standards: technical, regulatory and human. Over the next years, we will focus on making Physical AI concrete, reliable and useful in real production settings. That is the only benchmark that matters. I am proud of the teams involved and grateful to FINCANTIERI for the trust and shared vision: thank you Pierroberto Folgiero for making this possible. Special thanks to Claudio Cisilino, Paolo Cerioli, and Michele Tornielli for the journey that we will take together. 🔗 To know more, visit #Gene01# #Gene01W ##PhysicalAI# #HumanoidRobotics# #IndustrialAI# #HumanCenteredRobotics# #Manufacturing# #FutureOfIndustry#

The launch ceremony of Viking Astrea, the new cruise ship under construction for the cruise line Viking, took place today at our Ancona shipyard. The ceremony was attended by the Director of the Shipyard, Gilberto Tobaldi, and Ghislain Lemarie, Vice President Ship Development and Construction of Viking. With a gross tonnage of approximately 54,300 tons, a length of 239 meters, and accommodation for up to 998 passengers in 499 cabins, Viking Astrea will feature a propulsion system partially powered by liquid hydrogen and fuel cells. The project has been developed with particular attention to environmental sustainability and will enable the ship to operate with zero emissions, allowing access to environmentally sensitive marine areas. The launch of Viking Astrea confirms the role of the Ancona shipyard – where since 2009, more than 20 vessels have been delivered – and underscores the value of the collaboration between Fincantieri and Viking, began in 2012, marking another milestone in this journey that combines our shipbuilding expertise with Viking’s commitment to developing innovative solutions to bring a more sustainable future on board. @VikingCruises

The keel-laying ceremony for the first next-generation U212NFS destined for the Italian Navy was held today at our Muggiano shipyard, as part of the program for the construction of four submarines and the development of related logistic support, managed and entrusted to OCCAR. Delivery of the first U212NFS is scheduled for 2029. The U212NFS submarine class represents a substantial evolution compared to its U212A predecessors, thanks to greater design maturity, a higher level of national technological content, an improved integration of onboard systems and innovations developed by Italian industry — including the lithium-ion propulsion battery and the new combat system — that will ensure greater stealth, endurance, efficiency, and cyber resilience. We are proud to leverage our expertise in the U212NFS program, which makes a decisive contribution to preserving and enhancing national industrial know-how, consolidating the technological advantage of Fincantieri and the entire Italian supply chain, reaffirming our commitment to a more innovative future and safer seas. @ItalianNavy

We hosted a delegation from Oman led by HH Nazar Aljulanda Majid Al-Said, Ambassador of the Sultanate of Oman to Italy, with representatives from Oman Investment Authority, welcomed by our Vice President International Institutional Affairs Carlo Romeo and our Sales Manager Naval Vessels Division Fabio Rinaldi. A valuable opportunity for an in depth discussion on areas of mutual interest and potential collaboration, and to showcase our core businesses and the long-standing and growing international outlook of our Group, engaging in a constructive exchange on domestic market dynamics, strategic priorities, and pathways to further strengthen - also through cross fertilization in both the civil and defense domains - cooperation between Fincantieri and Oman. A meeting that marked a step forward in strengthening a positive dialogue and relationship with OIA and enhancing mutual understanding. @Oman_OIA
