Leonardo S.p.A.

About

In 1948, in the wake of postwar industrial revitalization, Finmeccanica was established in Rome with a vision to rebuild Italy's technological capabilities. What began as a financial and mechanical company would evolve over seven decades into Leonardo S.p.A. - a global high-tech powerhouse embracing the legacy of one of history's greatest innovators. Renamed in 2017 to honor Leonardo da Vinci's spirit of systemic thinking and ingenuity, the company has grown from its origins into a multinational industrial group with over 60,000 employees across 180 sites worldwide, generating €17.8 billion in revenue with a €44.2 billion order portfolio.

Today, Leonardo stands as a global leader in Aerospace, Defence and Security, delivering multi-domain technological capabilities that safeguard nations and communities. With €2.5 billion invested annually in R&D and operations spanning helicopters, aircraft, aerostructures, electronics, cybersecurity, and space solutions, the company partners with governments and institutions worldwide to pioneer the technologies that define a safer future. From producing aircraft for the U.S. Coast Guard to delivering robotic arms for NASA's Mars missions, Leonardo's 75-year journey represents a continuous commitment to technological excellence - proving that the company didn't just adapt to the future of defense and security, it helped build it.

LeoLabs

In 2016, the founders of LeoLabs recognized a critical gap in space operations: as low Earth orbit became increasingly congested with satellites and debris, the tools for monitoring and managing this environment were dangerously inadequate. Traditional space surveillance systems lacked the persistence, precision, and transparency needed to protect billions of dollars in assets and ensure safe operations. So they built LeoLabs - a commercial company dedicated to mapping the activity in low Earth orbit with unprecedented clarity and persistence. LeoLabs has evolved from that founding insight into the world's leading mission partner for persistent Orbital Intelligence. Their proliferated network of ground-based phased array radars tracks more than 25,000 objects, delivering millions of measurements daily to military space commands, civil government agencies, and commercial operators worldwide. With radar sites spanning the globe and an AI-powered analytics platform, LeoLabs provides the living map of space that safeguards our way of life on Earth - enabling collision avoidance, threat characterization, and space traffic management in an increasingly complex orbital environment.

Liebherr-International S.A.

In 1949, Hans Liebherr had a realization that would reshape the construction industry forever: the task of building Germany's post-war infrastructure demanded a new kind of mobility on the job site. Working as a master builder with an inventor's curiosity, he designed the world's first mobile tower crane - a machine that could be easily transported and quickly assembled. This single invention didn't just solve a practical problem; it sparked the creation of an industrial empire that would become one of the world's leading construction equipment manufacturers. What began as a small German company has evolved into a global technology powerhouse spanning 13 product segments and employing more than 50,000 people across over 150 companies in 50-plus countries. The Liebherr family has maintained 100% ownership throughout three generations, preserving the founder's principles of exceptional engineering and unwavering quality. From massive mining excavators that carve through mountains to ultra-precise aerospace components that keep aircraft aloft, Liebherr products embody the same spirit of practical innovation that drove Hans Liebherr in 1949. Today, the company continues to push boundaries, developing sustainable solutions for wind energy, hydrogen-powered construction sites, and intelligent automation systems - all while staying true to its roots as a family-run enterprise where long-term thinking always outweighs short-term gains.
