Siena

There is a challenge that Siena wants to win. And that is being able to reconcile its millennial history, full of monumental, cultural and landscape events which are unique in the world, as shown by a continuous flow of visitors who often settle in this area to enjoy a better lifestyle, with the future of research and innovation.
The province is committed to a non invasive type of quality development which, in tune with the attractiveness of the environment, which is practically intact, involves new knowledge and skills as bases for future economic and scientific development and are able to attract foreign investments by improving the potential and identity of this province.

The focus on life sciences and biotechnologies applied to human health is based on a network of companies which are rich in internationally recognised cutting edge skills but still offer vast and strong investment opportunities. Banks which have always financially supported development projects, one of the oldest and most prestigious universities in Italy, an advanced network of business services which is firmly rooted in the province, a model of local governance which is amongst the most efficient and participatory, all offer vast guarantees for investments.

Siena and the area around it have always taken the environment in full account. The local industrial sector is particularly dynamic thanks to highly specialised sectors such as pharmaceutical and biotechnological research, whose excellence is recognised at international level and, in commerce and industry, caravan and crystal manufacturing. The province of Siena is an international leader in both these sectors.

Siena's natural, artistic and rural resources mean that this province is full of opportunities where business can be done whilst living on a human scale.

Because of its proximity to the main Italian motorway (the A1), Rome and the Northern part of the Po valley, Siena can be reached in less than 2 hours. Siena is less than 50 km away from Florence airport and a just over 80 km from the international airport of Pisa. Both airports can be easily reached thanks to a network of fast and wide motorway links.

A small airport, which is currently being built, will enable to serve business passengers.
