Moreover, a sample of every material is deposited in an archive. In MATECH supply and demand are matched: innovation-conscious companies can access the databank via the Internet or look at material samples on the spot and be advised by a specialist
- The INNOVA project stresses the activities of the park with regard to the innovations of the industrial districts. For this, among other things, a methodology fro the analysis of the districts has been developed. The results can be reviewed online on the Galileo website
