Events

• 2026-10-21 - Facility Opening - Generative Bionics plans Italian Physical AI Data Factory with AMD

  The Italian hub is planned as the first of three facilities, followed by a second European site and a third serving global markets. GENE.01 would generate real-world task data that digital twins expand into simulation variations before physical validation. AMD is the planned AI-infrastructure partner, extending its earlier investment and onboard-compute relationship with the company.
