History

The foundation

In the early 2000s, a group of entrepreneurs and managers gathered in the Ligurian Dixet association, constitute the Genova High Tech S.p.A. company aimed precisely to the realization of the technology park. The company is led by Carlo Castellano, CEO of Esaote S.p.A., and Giuseppe Rasero, former director of the Institute for Industrial Reconstruction (IRI). Your company has, among others, shares of Intesa Sanpaolo, Banca Carige, Aurora Construction, Coop Liguria, Prometheus srl, Talea S.p.A. and EuroMilano S.p.A.

The construction

The Erzelli is an area about 0.44 km2 wide located in Genoa between the neighborhoods of Sestri Ponente and Cornigliano. It was created by clipping the top of the Monte Guano and using the resulting material for the construction of the Genoa Cristoforo Colombo Airport. Thanks to a major urban improvement project, it is set to house the Erzelli Science and Technology Village which will give the city of Genoa an innovative high technology, research, training and business center. It is destined to change Genoa's image while giving the city a 100 thousand square metre park with many facilities and 200 thousand square meters of green areas along the slopes of Monte Guano. Sports, leisure and entertainment facilities will be set up here.

The Master Plan

The Master Plan foresees that some 70% of the Village will be used for high tech and training/education with around 200 businesses established, 15,000 new users including 5,000 students and the creation of at least 6,000 jobs for highly qualified persons. The residential areas will be developed in the most scenic locations and shall be close to parks and facilities.
