AREA Science Park
R&D PersonnelInternational comparison figures
(*) per 1000 labour force units
• Trieste – City of Science
• science and technology hub
• large community of Italian and foreign researchers
• at the heart of the enlarged Europe
AREA Science Park is at the core of the Trieste Scientific System
The Regional Industrial System (1)
The industrial system accounts for 1/3 of the regional GDP (24.500 MEuro equal to
2,3% of Italy, 20.000 procapite - ISTAT 2002)
and is characterized by:
a small core of large national and international enterprises (steel, industrial
plants, machine tools, household appliances, furniture)
a diffused tissue of about export-oriented 100,000 small and medium-sized firms and a wide network of craft firms.
The Regional Industrial System (2)
The composition of the industrial workforce is mainly based on the mechanical industry
(38.7%) and wood & furniture (24.6%). Furthermore additional relevant sectors
are transport and agro-food.
There are four regional industrial districts
(clusters), recognized by law, which have
an high export level capacity, namely:knive districtfood district chair districtfurniture district
The Regional Industrial System (3)
Hi-tech sectors are developing in Friuli Venezia Giulia such as Biotechnology & ICT
in AREA Science Park is active the cluster initiative “TDMB-Technology District of Molecular Biomedicine” , the strategic
project strongly supported both by the Italian Ministry of Education, University and
Research and the Regional Administration.
The TDMB is an innovative cognitive district where development programmes driven by
research and industry stakeholders are strongly supported both by public and
private funds

The diffusion of innovation
The project is based on a Network of Competence Centers established on the Regional Territory to transfer innovation to the productive system
Innovation Network is a project ofAREA Science Park aimed to diffuse to all the regional companies the opportunity to acquire innovation, knowledge and new technologies
Each Centre
is independent for its management and operation
is strongly interconnected with all the poles of the Network
has its own staff skilled in territorial marketing, technology transfer, financial and economic issues
The Competence Centers of the Innovation Network are coordinated by AREA in co-operation with key institutions committed to the regional economy development
introducing new technologies to improve the business exploring the commercial feasibility of an idea and
whether there’s a market for it bringing a new product to market starting up partnerships and cooperation projects
Innovation Network provides practical advice and action plans on:
searching published patents as a source of ideas and information
protecting the intellectual property capitalizing on new knowledge and
innovative ways of doing things competing successfully and profitably in
today’s fast-changing marketplace
