Innovation networks
The island's development policy is also based on the creation of local advanced research & production clusters in specific high-tech sectors: ICTs, renewable energy sources, applied biotechnologies and biomedicine.
ICT district
Sardegna DistrICT, the ICT district of Sardinia, was set up to foster collaboration between public or private research centres and high-tech enterprises, through the creation of an integrated system for innovation making Sardinia a player of international technology development.
Biomedical technology district
The Biomedical and Health Technology District, located in Southern Sardinia, has been set up on the proposal of the Region of Sardinia under the "Research and Technology Innovation" FPA signed with the Italian Ministry of Research. The Sardinian district, the molecular medicine district of Friuli and the biotechnology district of Lombardy and Puglia are the only four Italian human health biotechnology districts recognised by the national government.
Applied biotech cluster
The Regional Government has promoted the creation of an applied biotech cluster in Northern Sardinia. The aim is to gather together in this geographical area – already marked by the presence of a high number of sector enterprises and research centres – advanced expertise in support of an integrated system fostering research and industry development.
Renewable energy cluster
The Renewable Energy Cluster has been established in Sardinia with the aim of mustering locally available know-how in the fields of research, technology development and generation of renewable energy into an integrated system supporting local innovation and competitiveness.
