It’s one of the most unbelievable stories in the Italian startup ecosystem… so much so that it seems hard to believe.
iGenius is an Italian artificial intelligence startup. At its helm is the Albanian young man Uljan Sharka, who emigrated to Italy in 2008. Driven by the dream of a better life, and through self-taught studies in computer science, he has emerged on social networks and in the media as one of the most promising figures in the field of Artificial Intelligence.
Last year, they announced an unprecedented investment in Italy’s history: $650 million with a valuation that will surpass $1 billion. A month ago, they revealed they would build one of the world’s most powerful supercomputers in the South of Italy, in collaboration with Nvidia. Nvidia is one of the leading American companies in the field of computing, based in California.
Will he manage to surpass the success of Mira Murati? Do they really stand a chance against companies like OpenAI, DeepMind? We wish them success.
