The Butterfly Area construction project is currently still in progress.
The project execution phase will be formulated in collaboration with our Ecosystem of businesses and institutions.
Construction will be financed by funds both public and private. The University of Turin is concluding the dossier of regional and national funding applications and has begun communication with the relative institutions.
The managing body of Campus and Butterfly Area land will be established, and will liaise, in a streamlined manner, with the institutions and business in the Ecosystem.
If you are a private investor, from the industrial or financial sectors, and are interested in the initiative, please contact the University so that, together, we can discuss the feasibility of a collaboration, your possible siting on the Campus and the services we offer.
Together with our Ecosystem, we will provide the materials and ideas necessary to draw up projects that we can present to public and private funding institutions, as well as embarking on other public-private partnership initiatives.
