Research and Innovation

Campania is the leading region in Southern Italy in terms of public investment in research and development, with over €1 billion already allocated to the sector. This commitment translates into a solid and well-structured regional system, which includes several national research centers and centers for technology transfer and innovation, together with one of the largest communities of researchers in Italy belonging to the CNR (National Research Council). In addition, the regional innovation ecosystem is strengthened by solid vertical and horizontal synergies between the world of research, business and public investment, thanks to the presence of 7 high-tech districts and 21 public-private laboratories.

Campania's innovation fabric includes over 1,500 innovative startups, accounting for 12.45% of the national total, consolidating the Region as one of Italy's main scientific and technological hubs and confirming the dynamism of its businesses at all levels. This makes Campania fertile ground for the development of high-tech solutions and cross-sector collaborations in high value-added sectors.
