Regione Piemonte
Regione Piemonte lays in the north western Italy, and Torino is the capital city.
The Region accounts 4.450.000 inhabitants (8% of national population), and accounts for 8,7% of national GDP (115
Bn Euros) and 10% of national export. Piemonte is among most industrialized Italian regions, main sectors are automotive and fine mechanics, agro-food, aerospace and textile. Manufacturing account around 50,000 enterprises, mainly SMEs . Top known enterprises are FIAT, Alenia
, Ferrero, Zegna, Martini&Rossi and many others. Slide4
Regional Clean tech clusters
In the framework of ERDF plan, with an overall investment of 100 M
euros about, Piemonte Region has launched and supports 12 clusters , 5 of which operating on Clean Tech sectors those are:
POLIGHT hydrogen and sustainable building, 135 enterprises, IBIS – green chemistry, 45 enterprisesPROPLAST – plastic materials,185 enterprisesPOLIBRE, bio fuels and PV, 110 enterprisesENERMHY, hydroelectric and biomasses, 85 enterprises
Slide5
Cluster’s Top companies
Some of the clusters enterprises have already developed market products:
NOVAMONT: world player in bio based plastic materials (mater bi
tm )
CHEMTEX : innovative processes for II generation bio ethanol from lignocelluloses wastes ELECTRO POWER SYSTEMS : fuel cells hydrogen back up power systems for ICT sector
Slide6
Incubation and Diversification
Clusters don not normally run incubation activities, the Regional Incubators (
e.g I3P) and polytechnic of Turin are cluster members.
Considering Industry figures in the region, clusters are more focused on industry product diversification, that can lead to creation of industrial spin off.Some examples:ICT and mechanical companies Solbian (PV for marine and high altitude conditions)
SAVIO (metal casting) Thesan (PV modules)OLICAR (ESCo) Eolicar
(wind turbines)And many others independent new companiesClusters support also new company created out of the contexts of existing industry or academies (

Slide9
Torino Energy Center
Regione Piemonte and the city of Torino, in partnership with the Politecnico
of Torino, have launched the creation of a new R&D facility for renewable energies and energy saving.Construction will end on 2015, and the center will host academies, clusters and industries researches for innovative technologies. International collaboration will be a keySlide10
Innovation Procurement
Regione Piemonte and the city of Torino, , in the framework of EU initiatives (CIP and INTEREG) are testing the
procedures for “Public procurement for innovation” with the aim to support the newcomers in the early market phase.
Clusters are supporting local authorities in design and fit the procurement rules to local conditions, interface with industries, technology scouting and benchmarkThe two calls recently launched on energy saving in building and energy management. Procedures are expected to be officially adopted.Slide11
A Clean tech to market strategy
In the closing EU programme period the region and the City have created the condition to fully exploit the potential of local industry and academy systems.
Together with incubators and academies, Clusters have playing a role in support the deployment of regional and EU policies, both on R&D and support to creation of new enterprises, in particular industrial spin off.
Investments in infrastructure, procurement for innovation and reorganization of cluster policies towards the creation of a regional Clean tech cluster are the next steps.
