Through its certified incubator, Innovation Factory, the national research body deals with business generation, in particular pre-incubation, incubation and acceleration for the establishment and development of innovative startups. For over twenty years, Area Science Park has been developing national and international projects to promote innovation and high-tech research, through technology transfer activities and exploitation of the results of scientific research. It is partner of IP4FVG, the digital innovation hub of Friuli Venezia Giulia.
Area Science Park provides the national scientific and production world with scientific and technological infrastructures: from the Elettra Sincrotrone light machine to the newly acquired genomic sequencer that allows accurate analysis of DNA, RNA and epigenomics studies.
Particular relevance is given by the ARGO System, an initiative based on process innovation and products that leverages the interaction between research and industry. ARGO, coordinated by Area, makes Friuli Venezia Giulia as a laboratory of innovation, qualified and virtuous. Tested in the region, the model is exported on a national and international scale.
