Founded as a small research center with a big vision, AISMA (Artificial Intelligence for Smart Manufacturing Applications) is today one of the most dynamic players in the Italian innovation landscape. Headquartered in Milan with international branches, the company was born from the vision of Amir Topalovic who, thanks to his highly specialized know-how acquired over many years of experience in the field, succeeded in creating an innovative, future-oriented startup designed to meet the real needs of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs).
The goal is ambitious: to guide companies toward the realization of the Smart Factory 4.0—a model that involves every business function and generates real and sustainable change in production processes. On this journey, AISMA positions itself as a strategic partner for SMEs, offering tools and expertise that simplify and accelerate their adaptation to modern challenges, transforming data into strategic assets for the future.
At the heart of AISMA’s approach lies the understanding that every production and operational process generates an invisible yet powerful resource: data. This is where the company builds its innovative solutions, powered by a multidisciplinary team of highly qualified experts. The mission? To support Italian companies in defining and implementing research and development projects with a focus on digitalization, the 5.0 transition, and artificial intelligence.
“The real treasure of our time is data,” says Amir Topalovic, founder of a company that stands out in the market for its innovation and experience. “Unstructured data is wasted data. We help companies turn it into knowledge—analyzing and using it correctly to make more informed and strategic decisions. That’s how a small business can become a data-driven company.”
However, data remains the most underestimated strategic asset by SMEs which, despite generating it every day, often fail to exploit its full potential. In an increasingly competitive market where the pace of innovation demands speed, expertise, and vision, AISMA aims to change this paradigm—helping businesses make data the heartbeat of their growth.
To this end, AISMA operates through three core pillars, offering 360-degree assistance and consultancy. The backbone of the company is its Digital Solutions & Artificial Intelligence division. In this area, AISMA develops tools and platforms that enable companies to analyze and leverage the data generated daily by their production activities.
But innovation comes with a cost—which should never become a barrier to progress. This is why AISMA also supports companies in finding and obtaining public funding, European grants, and tax incentives for the adoption of 4.0 and 5.0 technologies. Leading this effort is a team of professionals with over 40 years of combined experience, capable of turning ideas into economically sustainable projects.
Yet no transition is complete without people. That’s why AISMA has developed a training program designed to spread digital transformation culture within companies. Through courses, workshops, and tailored programs, the aim is to make managers and employees more aware and competent in using data and technology.
In addition to its expertise in these three key areas, AISMA stands out in the market for the high professionalism of its multidisciplinary team—entirely composed of professionals under 40, many of whom hold PhDs. This young and skilled team is equipped to tackle complex problems with scientific rigor and practical insight. Their academic background has evolved into a flexible and dynamic working model that adapts to any type of business.
“We’re not just good at mastering technology—we’re good at making it simple, accessible, and, above all, useful,” says Topalovic. “Our goal is to deliver the full value of innovation without waste, with maximum precision and practicality.”
Among AISMA’s most advanced solutions is the “Smart ESG Monitor,” a platform designed to measure—in real time and transparently—the environmental and social impact of corporate activities. Thanks to a continuous monitoring system, companies can track the sustainability of their actions and processes, steering toward concrete environmental responsibility goals.
“You can’t improve what you don’t measure. Our ESG tool enables exactly that: keeping the real impact of corporate actions under control, in line with European standards and market expectations.”
Looking ahead, AISMA embraces a clear mission: to democratize access to technology and data, bringing the tools and culture of large organizations into even the smallest businesses. The objective is to build an innovative, sustainable growth ecosystem where every company—big or small—can make data the engine of its development.
