The future of the area which until 31 October hosted the pavilions of Expo 2015 is clearer. The Government is in fact ready to invest in a project to the creation of a center of excellence at an international level.
The prime minister said so Matteo Renzi at the Teatro Piccolo in Milan as part of the presentation of the plan that the Executive made for the Rho area where the Universal Exposition was held. “Today the Expo area is made up of two large projects – declared the Premier – on the one hand a real estate project on which the leverage and responsibility lies with the local authorities. We as a government give our availability if requested, even with the Cassa Depositi e Prestiti. We are ready to help financially but we have no intention of making any expropriation”.
But it is the second part of the project that has attracted the attention of those present “We want the Expo area to become a global hub for genomics and big data – Renzi said – and we believe that the vision of Italy 2040 can lead us to this goal, that of making the Expo an ecosystem of innovation capable of attracting investments by aiming for excellence”.
A center in which the state is ready to invest 150 million a year for the next ten years. In detail, the government's "Human technopole Italy 2040" plan illustrated by the Premier provides for the creation of a world center for studies on genomics, big data, nutrition, food and sustainability which, when fully operational, should employ around 1.600 researchers, bringing together diverse, from nutrition to robotics to the study of cancer genomes, where man is at the center”.
