There are places where innovation is not measured in lines of code or startups born in a garage, but in kilometres of tunnels dug under mountains, suspension bridges over rushing rivers, and subways that run silently through the heart of cities.
One such place is the world of Webuild. This leading Italian construction group is reshaping the future of global infrastructure by combining the strength of Italian engineering tradition with the power of technology.
A story of excellence
Webuild was founded in 2014, but it has deep, solid roots: it is the latest chapter in a story that began in Milan in 1906 and has continued to this day, gaining extensive experience in the construction sector that has led the company to participate in the construction of some of the most iconic and complex projects in the world: dams, subways, railways, bridges, highways, and hydroelectric plants that are reshaping the face of cities and regions around the world.
The great works that change the world
From the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam – the largest dam in Africa – to Rome’s Metro C, the Brenner Tunnel, and the Naples–Bari high-speed rail line, Webuild’s projects embody the ability to combine engineering, technology, and environmental sustainability. Each project is designed to minimise environmental impact, promote energy efficiency, and contribute to the economic growth of the areas in which it is implemented.
Innovation and sustainability: the pillars of the future
Today more than ever, Webuild places sustainability and technological innovation at the heart of its strategy. The company continually invests in research and development to minimise the environmental impact of its projects, adopting cutting-edge solutions such as the use of recycled materials, green construction techniques, and infrastructure that is resilient to climate change. A vision that combines economic development and respect for the planet. In this balance between progress and responsibility, WeBuild embodies the spirit of true sustainable Made in Italy.
The true strength of Webuild
What you need to build major works and infrastructure is people. That is why Webuild invests in training and developing talent, offering international career paths and promoting a culture of diversity and inclusion. Programs such as the Webuild Academy are designed to train the engineers and technicians of the future, ready to face the challenges of an increasingly digital and sustainable sector, because true innovation always comes from those who know how to look at the world with fresh eyes.
Projects around the world and Italian pride
Under the leadership of Pietro Salini, a descendant of the Salini family of builders – one of the companies that form the backbone of Webuild – the group has become an international player in the large-scale construction sector through internal development and acquisitions.
Today, Webuild is present in approximately 80 countries, with projects spanning a range of extensive water infrastructure, high-speed railways, subways, and highways. Each project is a testament to Italian ingenuity and creativity, appreciated worldwide as a symbol of quality and reliability. Since its inception, the company has focused on internationalisation and, in its 120-year history, has completed at least one project in 110 countries.
Looking ahead
The world needs modern, sustainable infrastructure that can connect people, markets, and cultures. Webuild is ready to take on this challenge and carry the ingenuity and passion that have always characterised Italy into the future. It is a concrete example of how, thanks to this ingenuity and passion, Italian-made products can build bridges – not only physical ones, but also cultural and economic ones – between nations.
