Consortium

TOP-IX (TOrino Piemonte Internet eXchange) is a non-profit consortium set up in 2002 with the aim of creating and managing an Internet Exchange (IX) for the exchange of Internet traffic in North West Italy.

Starting from a strong rooting in the Piedmont area, TOP-IX acts in that global space without borders that is Internet. In addition to building and managing the network infrastructure to provide the typical services of an Internet Exchange, it promotes and supports, through the Development Program (DP), projects of technological and / or business innovation based on the use of broadband Internet.

This two actions act synergistically to promote the growth of the territory.
