For a long time, Milan has been at the front line in the field of research and innovation and this is a proclivity that has become consolidated in the culture that characterizes the city. It was in Milan, in fact, that Leonardo da Vinci found strong support for his inventions during the 15th century.
Since then the number of enterprises connected to innovative products and new technologies has grown to number in the thousands and here they find support in the prestigious research centres of Milan, known for their excellence throughout the world.
This is one of the principle elements that has brought the city to the vertex of some of the most varied sectors of production and services, from chemistry to micro-electronics, from biotechnology to pharmaceuticals and from fashion to ICT, and has generated the “Milanese System” appreciated everywhere as an excellent development model.
