Italy has a long tradition of high level research and a strong culture of creating new business ideas. This is further demonstrated by the launch of over 100 spin-offs and business ideas in the past 10 years that have florished thanks to the committment of the Italian National Research Centre, the CNR, the largest public research entity in Itlay.

The INNOVA Group has a long standing collaboration with the CNR, and has in particular supported the national research council in the development of 4 spin-offs in the fields of medical diagnosis, biotechnologies & nanotechnologies: Organic Sprintronics, LITECH, DAIMAR and SCRIBA.

For more information on the CNR activity read the article "Nuove imprese dalla ricerca" published on the  24 march 2010 in "Il Sole 24 Ore".
