AREA Science Park


 


Situated on the Carso plateau which surrounds Trieste on its landward side, the AREA Science Park, the leading science and technology park in Italy, is a system that integrates research and business. Its valued services, its relations with the main Italian universities and scientific institutions and its dense network of international contacts together make the AREA the ideal location for companies open to innovation.

More than 70 organisations, including private companies and nationally and internationally renowned research institutes, have chosen to settle in the AREA Science Park to enhance their scientific and technological competitiveness. Alongside basic research in physics, material structures, genomics and biotechnology, there is an ever-broadening range of research aimed at applications in the chemical, pharmaceutical, automotive, food, electronics, space and ICT industries, and qualified services – such as consultancies and assistance concerning technology transfer, management of innovation, security and quality, the environment and advanced training – are fully working.
In the strategies of the Consorzio per l’AREA di ricerca scientifica e tecnologica di Trieste, the managing body of the Science Park, a central role is played by its relations with the city and province of Trieste and its region. In the coming years its greatest efforts will be devoted to promote and enhance the research and knowledge produced by scientific and academic institutions in Friuli- Venezia Giulia, responding to companies’ needs for innovation and to set up new technological research centres in the region and an innovation support network.

The range of expertise and services provided in research and innovation go to make up the AREA’s business card. Employing 1,600 people, boasting on experience of over fifteen years and enjoying uninterrupted growth since its foundation, the AREA qualifies as the institutional technological leader in Italy.

The AREA is a stimulating specialised environment, a powerhouse of ideas and top-level expertise where scientists of different cultures and nationalities work side by side in close harmony with financial, economic and business organisations. It is on this exceptional human capital that the AREA has based its development. And it is from this patrimony that it can achieve its future targets.
