Anthropic opens Milan office to support Italian enterprise, research, and developers. May 27, 2026 Anthropic will open a new office in Milan, its sixth in Europe alongside London, Dublin, Paris, Zurich, and Munich. The Milan team will work with Italian companies and the country's developer community on building and scaling with Claude responsibly, and contribute to a conversation about AI that is already underway across Italian industry and public life. This office opening closely follows the release of Magnifica Humanitas, Pope Leo XIV's first encyclical and the first papal teaching dedicated to artificial intelligence. Anthropic co-founder Chris Olah was invited to speak at its presentation, where he addressed the ethical questions AI raises and called on more of the world - religious traditions, civil society, academia, and governments - to shape a positive outcome for humanity. Anthropic's frontier AI capabilities and an abiding commitment to safety have already earned the trust of Italian enterprise. Led by Thomas Remy, Anthropic's Head of Southern Europe, its local team is already working with a wide range of Italian companies, including Generali Group and Unipol Group in finance, Angelini Pharma and Bracco Group in life sciences, Enel Group in energy, and Pirelli in automotive. Anthropic has also partnered with JAKALA, one of Europe's leading data and AI companies, to deploy Claude across more than 3,000 seats to free up roughly 70% of senior team time for higher-judgment client work. Italian startups and technology companies have been early adopters, too. Satispay, the financial super app serving more than six million users, deployed Claude across its engineering teams, compressing an 18-month roadmap into seven months and updating its core payment system ten times faster than planned. At Bending Spoons, one of Italy's largest technology companies, the majority of code changes are now co-authored with Claude Code. Anthropic is also putting Claude in the hands of Italy's leading designers. During Milan Design Week, the team partnered with Alcova Milano to run a hands-on workshop for their creative professionals, demonstrating how Claude connects to the tools used by industrial, furniture, and spatial designers, contributing to their creative process. Chris Ciauri, MD International at Anthropic, commented: "We are here to support Italian enterprise, Italian research, and Italian culture through a safe AI transition. Italy is a country that has always embraced profound transformation and we are optimistic about what frontier AI can do for this country, from its largest industrial groups to its founders, its universities, and its cultural institutions." The question of how AI reshapes work, design, knowledge, and human agency is not one the technology sector can or should answer alone. Anthropic was founded because Anthropic believe questions like these are among the most important of its time. Getting the AI transition right requires more voices, not fewer: from industry, civil society, and institutions that have thought carefully about human dignity for far longer than AI has existed. Its team in Milan will support the Italian companies, researchers, and builders shaping how this technology is used, and contribute, where Anthropic can, to that larger conversation about how it should be developed.
