Institution profile

The Green and High Tech Cluster of the Monza Brianza Foundation was established on the 18th June 2008 by four different entities: the Province of Milan (which passed its competencies on to the Province of Monza Brianza on June 2009), the Association of Municipalities for the High Tech Cluster Monza Brianza, Confindustria Monza Brianza and Chamber of Commerce, Industry, Artisanship and Agriculture of Monza Brianza.
The direct involvement of the founding members on the Board of Directors inspires the guidelines for the cluster’s activities, focusing on industrial sectors involving companies that represent the history of the territory, paving the way for "aggregation" and hence "act as clusters”.
The guiding principle of the foundation is to help revitalize the competitiveness of the territory by widely spreading and sharing the excellence available on the territory and creating the conditions to attract new companies or to generate new “technology-based” firms as well as prominent personalities.
The reference sectors of activities are:

• Energy, from reduction in consumption to the promotion of energy saving, from the development and use of renewable energy to the production of components and instruments for the generation of energy coming from non-fossil sources.
• ICT (Information and Communication Technology), in the areas of R&D, implementation and manufacturing of products ranging from micro-electronic devices, systems and services dedicated to telecommunications and information management.

To achieve this strategic objective, the foundation operates by identifying and promoting synergies among the high tech companies based in the territory and working to build the network and aggregate companies on:

• Research and Development
• Production Chain
• Company Network and Territory promotion
