Main points

The strengths of PSTMol are without doubt its activities. Moliseinnovazione is distinguished above all by highly specialised laboratories and pilot facilities, which are managed by a highly qualified team. This team is active in three different innovation centres (integrated in the park): corn chain, milk chain, meat chain. The project management operates, by means of commensurate use of project managers in Task Forces in perfect synergy with the respective laboratory activities. The internationalisation is a further important point; Moliseinnovazione concentrates particularly on the Balkan countries, which show great interest in the development of economic and financial relations with Italian companies. The activities of PSTMol include, in addition, sectors such as further training, patents and energy/the environment. In the last year, PSTMol has extended its activities in addition for agricultural companies in order to be able to cover the whole spectrum. The new services include: safety at the workstation and fire prevention, food law, company-check up und feasibility studies.

Brief description
