Responsibilities and functions
Polo Meccatronica represents the most recent development of Trentino's natural inclination towards advanced mechanics and mechatronics.
This is the sector that employs the largest number of people in the manufacturing industry (almost 10,000) with around 800 active companies.
Research infrastructures
A decisive role in the Trentino research and innovation system is played by Research Infrastructures (IR), which can be traced back to laboratories or facilities with a high scientific and technological profile.
They represent incubators of scientific and technological knowledge and nuclei of aggregation between the worlds of research and enterprise.
Among the laboratories that structurally reflect the characteristics of an IR in the Mechatronics Cluster is the following since 2017
- ProM Facility of Trentino Sviluppo, a rapid prototyping and product development laboratory financed by the European Union, unique in Italy because it is able to offer companies an integrated platform for the design, development, implementation, testing and validation of production systems and processes.
