Short profile

Centro Sviluppo, is the regional development agency of Valle d' Aosta and offers technical and economic resources, has specific experience and can provide complete and updated information and also innovative methods of intervention. Inform, sensitize, advise, form -these are the strategic verbs of the Centro Sviluppo.

In a dynamic developing situation open to all Europe, such as that in Aosta Valley, brand new businesses or those in search of widening their horizons, or even administration aiming to improve efficiency require concrete support and relevant help in all fields for example: economy, organisation, commerce, logistics, law.

Activities in the field of Regional Innovation

In 1993, the Regional Government of Aosta Valley, in co-operation with Finaosta SpA (the finance company for the Aosta Valley Region) and many regional entrepreneurial Associations, national and regional Banks, decided to establish the Aosta Valley Regional Development Agency: Centro Sviluppo SpA, which has a central role in the economic & structural innovation strategy development of the whole Region. Centro Sviluppo is a legal entity as shareholders company with public majority.

Since 1995 Centro Sviluppo has been an active member of the most important European Community information networks (such as IRC, EIC, EBN, EURADA, BRE and BC-NET) and has already an experience with NAC countries because of:

  • the regional twinning with a Polish county
  • the operational partnership, started in January 2000, with a project of the Saxony Land of Germany concerning "European Best Practices in Employment".

Centro Sviluppo has been founded with the aim to support SME's in innovation field, so Centro Sviluppo can be really considered the only mover and shaker of innovation in Aosta Valley Region with a central and unique role in the innovation strategy development. The Region, as in the past has not implemented RITTS/RIS/RTP previous projects, is always more strongly interested in regional Innovation Strategies, Policies and schemes to exchange experience and get access to good practices of other European Regions. One of the most important ways in order to achieve the above targets is the creation of co-operation structures and the preparation of projects with regions of EEA countries and with regions in NAC. Thanks to VERITE Project (whose expected achievements are very interesting for our region), the Aosta Valley would like:

  • to upgrade his home strategy and actions in the field of regional innovation policies
  • to get knowledge of successful schemes in other European regions
  • to prepare co-operation structures and projects between regions
  • to improve the diffusion of Innovation Management Techniques (IMTs) to a relevant number of SMEs
  • to encourage the exchange of experience between regions that implemented RIS/RITTS projects & international experts about evaluation of Innovation.
