Milano welcomes you
Lombardy is the richest region in Italy with a GDP per capita about 32% higher than the national average and 27% of the EU’s. Lombardy is also home to leading scientific centers in areas such as genomics, biomedicine, digital therapies and healthcare management (e.g. oncology, cardiovascular diseases and rehabilitation therapies). Lombardy’s population exceeds 10 million inhabitants.
With a population of about 1.3 million people, Milano is the capital of Lombardy, in the middle of the Po Valley, not far from the Alps and from the Italian largest lakes (Lake Como, Lake Maggiore, Lake Garda). Milano is considered the Italian economic and financial center, as the most important industrial and financial businesses of the Country are settled here, along with the headquarters of the Stock Exchange. Milano also represents the Italian capital of fashion and design (hosting “Milan Fashion Week” and the “Salone Internazionale del Mobile”), is an internationally recognized cultural hub (with “Teatro alla Scala” considered the international “temple” of Opera music).
The Milano Metropolitan Region is home to over 250 pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies (58% of Lombardy Life Sciences companies). Lombardy is home to around 30% of Italy’s total.
