With a budget of 21 million euros, the cluster will run 3 metaprograms which are devoted to create 9 technological laboratories where all the activities and the scientific and technology competencies of enterprises, universities and research centres will converge. • Objectives • Create a critical mass of highly competitive enterprises • Attract scientific and technology excellence • Elaborate advanced applications

  10. Why ICTs ? The 90s were key years for the development of the new economy in the island. 1991 Nobel Laureate Carlo Rubbia create CRS4 (supercomputing R&D Centre) 1992 www.crs4.it is the first Italian website 1993-1994 Unione Sarda becomes the first online newspaper worldwide 1995 Video On Line is the first ISP in Italy 1997 Tiscali becomes the symbol of ICTs in Sardinia

  11. Main Outputs - Sardinia ranks 6thin the listing of Italian regions with highest biotech company density (Assobiotec - Blossom Ass.ti 2007). - 3 pharmaceutical/medical device manufacturing companies have been created in Sardinia, (first industrial results) - 50companies and some 400people are now operating in the Park; - 3foreign biotech companies located into the park (Sweden, UK and Switzerland); - 9Italian researchers (including 7 from Sardinia) have returned from mainland Italy or foreign countries (USA, Sweden, UK, etc.) to work in companies located into the Park.
