Areas of activity include::
- Territorial Development: Initiatives focused on regenerating the local fabric through Agritech, sustainable mobility, decentralized hospitality (Ospitalità Diffusa), and tourism enhancement.
- Experimentation: Frontier high-tech endeavors, including the Digital Information Point , the Grant Observatory , and AI applications for knowledge transmission, such as the ElserAIno intelligence
- And, last but not least, Cultivation: which provides the deserved storytelling over Culture and Talents, offering spaces and moments dedicated to collective growth through the technological library, educational courses, events, and editorial productions.
