Or , our new artificial intelligence tool.
A dynamic ecosystem hosting laboratories, official events and cultural initiatives open to the public.
An unmistakable landmark stands out against the capital’s skyline: a steel giant that once stored the gas used to light the streets of Rome has now returned to life to spark new ideas. Eni has reclaimed the Gazometro Ostiense area, transforming it from a relic of industrial archaeology into a modern innovation district. It is an ecosystem where, amidst the geometric ironwork of the 20th century, start-ups, scientific research and artistic expression meet to shape an increasingly sustainable future.
Housed within one of the twin buildings formerly used for water gas production and purification, Eni 2050 Lab is a multipurpose space dedicated to the projects and technologies developed across Eni’s research centres.
With the mission of fostering an entrepreneurial culture, Joule supports the growth of innovative, sustainable start-ups to build a business ecosystem within the net-zero energy supply chain. This effort is complemented by a comprehensive range of training programmes designed to transform researchers and innovators into entrepreneurs. The district also hosts Zero, Italy’s first Cleantech start-up accelerator within the CDP Venture Capital National Network, in which Eni is the main partner through Joule. Its goal is to encourage the creation of sustainable businesses nationwide by promoting and nurturing partnerships with universities, research centres, and innovation stakeholders.
ROAD - Rome Advanced District - is an open-air laboratory dedicated to the energy transition. Adopting a living lab approach, it tests projects focused on decarbonisation, the circular economy, renewable sources, energy efficiency and smart cities, with a constant emphasis on skills development. Spanning an area of approximately 13 hectares in Rome’s Ostiense district, ROAD is a business network that brings together the public and private sectors (corporations, SMEs, institutions, universities, start-ups and research centres) to foster cross-fertilisation across an integrated supply chain.
A new centre of excellence dedicated to training and developing the professional skills required to manage the energy assets of the future. It is a space where Eni leverages its technical know-how through innovative training programmes, designed to prepare talent and professionals for the operational challenges of the energy transition and decarbonisation.
Located near Piazza del Gazometro, AGI (Agenzia Giornalistica Italia) is home to the agency’s newsroom. Since the mid-1960s, the newswire has operated within the Eni Group, maintaining an editorial line focused on international markets and supported by a strategic network of partnerships across key global regions.

On its journey towards the Milano Cortina 2026 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games, the Olympic Flame was welcomed at the Gazometro, a symbol of innovation and sustainability. The Essential Torch, crafted from approximately 60% recycled materials and powered by Bio-LPG, concretely embodies the spirit of the project.

Within the Gazometro, diverse ideas, skills and perspectives converge in a dynamic, productive ecosystem: a hub for dialogue and exchange where collaboration between different players drives collective and sustainable growth.
Reflecting this vision, Arte al Gazometro is a format that displays talent and fosters collaborations with Italian and international artists as well as Eni’s partners, evolving year by year. Through its collaboration with FAI (the National Trust for Italy), Eni promotes a regular schedule of guided tours to present this symbol of urban transformation and the avant-garde exhibitions it features.
The Gazometro also hosts and showcases major international events.
