Eurotech S.p.A. says it expects to begin trading on the Italian stock exchange by the end of 2005. Eurotech's stock offering, which will be tracked on Italy's high-growth TechSTAR index, is being led by Italian investment banking firm Mediobanco, under the supervision of Borsa Italiana S.p.A., according to Eurotech.

Eurotech, which in 2003 acquired US single-board computer (SBC) maker Parvus Corp., describes itself as “a provider of pervasive mobile computing technologies for transportation, defense, and industrial applications.” The Eurotech Group is made up of eight operating units across three continents, it says.

Eurotech was founded in 1992 by Italian physicist Roberto Siagri. The company markets its embedded computer boards and systems to a broad range of customers in industrial control, vehicular, aircraft, and high performance scientific computing applications.
