Brief description

The VEGA Science and Technology Park was founded in 1993 with EU sponsorship funding amounting to 40 million Euros and today covers 35 hectares. VEGA is situated outside Venice in the heart of pulsating Northeast Italy.
The main aims of the park are the development of the site up to the highest standard and to make use of its innovation potential.
VEGA is therefore very anxious to assist with the designing of the urban upvaluation of Porto Marghera, one of the largest industrial areas in Europe. Up to now, over 10 hectares of the site have upvalued on which also unique examples of industrial architecture are to be found. The 120 innovative companies resident in the park, which employ about 1000 people, contribute decisively to the competitiveness of the site.
