Anthropic, the company behind the Claude family of AI models, is planting its flag in Milan. The move makes Italy the sixth European market where the company has established a physical presence in less than twelve months.
For a company that only came into existence in 2021, the pace of geographic expansion is striking. Anthropic now operates offices in London, Dublin, Zurich, Paris, Munich, and Milan.
Why Milan, why now
The short answer: follow the money. Anthropic’s run-rate revenue in the EMEA region has increased more than 9x year-over-year.
Chris Ciauri, Anthropic’s international managing director, framed Italy as a logical progression after the company’s recent moves into France and Germany.
