The Saipem base in Trieste is strategic for us precisely because some of our most advanced technologies have been developed here. Our goal is to increasingly consolidate our presence in Italy and contribute with our capacity for technological innovation and our engineering and management skills to the relaunch of the country system. We are engineers who build a sustainable future by helping to create value where they operate ”.
