Rational AI will be present at AI Week 2026 (May 19–20, Fiera Milano Rho, Milan), confirming its position as a reference platform for sovereign enterprise AI governance. The company offers public administrations and enterprises EU-hosted, on-premise-ready AI infrastructure with full governance oversight and no vendor lock-in — validated with clients including Regione Emilia-Romagna, Pengo Group, and Exacorp.
