Regione Lombardia - Direzione Generale Commercio, Turismo e Terziario

Descrizione

Situated in the North of Italy, in the heart of Europe, Lombardy represents a bridge to the Mediterranean. With its surface area of about 24,000 square km and almost 10 million inhabitants, it can be compared to a nation. The Lombard territory, symbol of modernity and development, present a great number of natural, artistic and cultural beauties. The districts are specialised in all the traditional Made in Italy domains such as fashion and furniture-decoration, but also in all the new technology-dominated ones, such as electronics, industrial automation and robotics. The first five identified metadistricts deal with alimentary biotechnology, nonalimentary biotechnology, design, fashion and new materials. In a highly dynamic industrial context, craftwork enterprises still represent one third of the production sector, employing 17% of the Lombard workforce.
