Butterfly Area is a “Company on Campus” concept that revolves around three principle elements: coherence with the local territory, sustainability, industry.
Allowing researchers, students, entrepreneurs and professionals to work together and physically interact, in shared and specialised spaces, will allow them to take on ambitious challenges in innovation and competitiveness armed with the necessary scientific standards and tangible potential for the industrialisation of their ideas and their introduction onto the market.
Butterfly Area has been established to promote specific initiatives for economic development in conjunction with companies. It provides the private sector with access to training and education paths and state-of-the-art research on sustainability for the co-creation of knowledge and the reinvigoration of the local territory.
Butterfly Area is a habitat, a place for research, training and work, where an alliance with the local territory and local production can be fostered.

In its context of technological innovation, Butterfly Area pursues social, economic and environmental sustainability, with its initiatives directed principally towards these topics so it can contribute scientifically and in its business and work model.
We are absolutely convinced that many of the principle future challenges for economic systems can be better faced though a supply-chain and coopetition-based approach. For this reason, we give priority to supply-chain projects between companies, with academia partnerships, that have mid-to-long term perspectives and that reflect our desire for collaboration-based management.
