ABOUT US
Lombardia Aerospace Cluster
Lombardia Aerospace Cluster is a recognized association founded in 2009 by 8 companies of the sector and Confindustria Varese (at the time Unione degli Industriali della Provincia di Varese) and today represents the Lombardian aerospace system in its complexity: more than 200 companies for around 21,800 employees, generating around 6.3 billion euros of annual turnover and an export around 1 billion euros. At the historical industrial presence, we must add 4 universities and 2 research centres with specializations in the sector.
Since the beginning, the Cluster has been working to develop its own vision as a Lombardian aerospace system, i.e. developing a united and collective identity in this sector, constantly evolving through national and international networking, innovation and competitive growth. Discover below the active Thematic Areas for the Cluster’s projects, which work alongside the Technical-Scientific Board, which develops an R&D long-term strategic vision.
