Institution profile

Friuli Innovazione was set up in 1999 by the University of Udine, the Udine Industrial Association, the Fiat Research Center, Agemont, the Pordenone Industrial Association and the CRUP Foundation. Later on, other local partners granted their support by endorsing and developing a shared strategy and objectives in innovation and technology transfer. In 2004, the Friuli Venezia Giulia Region made a major contribution to the initiative by appointing Friuli Innovazione to launch and manage the Luigi Danieli Science and Technology Park in Udine - the ideal space for turning ideas into projects and research into products.
Set within the center of Europe, in the heart of a region with a vocation for innovation and integration - in the ZIU (Zona Industriale Udinese) industrial area only a few minutes from the European motorway network and within easy reach of several international airports - the Park hosts laboratories and company headquarters.
