Innovation is essential

We keep working on what will become essential. Artificial intelligence, simulation, automation, mission-critical systems: these are the foundations behind how the world moves, pays, and communicates.

For years, alongside academic and industrial partners, TXT has invested in the technology that makes these systems hold. That is what our research is for: emerging ideas, forward-looking projects, proprietary platforms, new engineering solutions.

Pillars

To create what will be essential

For TXT, research is not a side activity. It runs across the whole group through a dedicated unit, with its own programmes, partners, and funding -- aiming to take on technologies that are still emerging. What research produces becomes products, competences, and engineering solutions that move into the systems our clients rely on.

  • 01 Internal Research and Development

    Our in-house teams carry out medium and long-term research, monitor emerging technology trends, and maintain the roadmap that guides which technologies TXT adopts. The aim is to turn that work into new offering: the products and competences we bring to clients.

  • 02 Collaboration with universities & research institutes

    We run research together with universities, scientific communities, and industrial associations. Much of it takes the form of funded research projects at European, national, and regional level, which TXT manages end to end. These partnerships widen the range of what our own teams can take on.

  • 03 From research to product

    Through technology transfer, what comes out of our research crosses into TXT's lines of business and into the work we deliver for clients, as proprietary platforms and new competences. It is the step that turns research into offering.
