The construction of a national ecosystem of technological innovation is now an objective pursued for many years both by the PA, central and local, with the most recent initiatives of the Pnrr, and by private entities, industrial companies, foundations of banking origin as investors with patient capital. Activation arrangements increasingly make use of public-private partnership, committing EU resources, private investment, private equity funds.
A widespread form for the realization of these objectives are technopoles (unitary structures or infrastructure networks), places characterized by the productive and technological development of companies, thanks to the support of the scientific research activities of universities and the industrial and advanced tertiary world, with important technology transfer activities, field training, with support and mentoring actions for the innovative role of start-ups on an international horizon.
The objective of the seminar is to share some of the most relevant ongoing experiences in the national and international panorama of technopoles, reflecting on the governance models adopted, on the implementation of the themes characterizing their missions, on the objectives pursued and the critical issues detected, with a final evaluation of socio-economic and environmental impacts on the territory and on the reference communities.
In particular, INU is interested in multidisciplinary urbanism with the relationships between the poles and territorial regeneration at the different spatial scales, reflecting on tools and planning choices to accompany development paths that arise from a world of technological innovation that often speaks only of economics and financial rents, in particular on an urban scale, while outside there is depopulation and a loss of values.
