Polo Meccatronica: Where The Smart Factory Grows

The Mechatronics Hub located in Rovereto (officially “Polo Meccatronica”) is a technological centre realized from the ashes of the Pirelli Cotton Mill, where business, innovation and education interact to generate and develop innovative projects. It is promoted by the Autonomous Province of Trento and involves key players from the public and private sectors and trade associations, offering a common space to produce, research and experiment innovative and more efficient products and processes.

According to the Quadruple Helix Model, government, industry, academia and civil participants work together to co-create the future and drive structural changes far beyond the scope of what any one organization or person could do alone. A model that encompasses user-oriented innovation models to take full advantage of ideas' cross-fertilisation leading to experimentation and prototyping in real world setting.
