NOI Techpark: Telling the Story of South Tyrol’s Innovation Hub
Inaugurated on October 20, 2017, NOI Techpark represents a significant public investment of €124 million by the Autonomous Province of Bolzano. Serving as a bridge between Northern and Southern Europe, it has rapidly evolved into a dynamic innovation hub.
Today, NOI Techpark hosts 79 companies, 34 startups, 3 research institutes, and 4 university faculties, with a total of 2,400 people collaborating toward sustainable development. The campus provides 70 laboratories and prototyping workshops, offices, co-working spaces, and academic facilities. In 2024 alone, NOI hosted 769 research projects across four specialized sectors: Green, Food & Health, Digital, and Automotive & Automation.
Even before its official opening, Blum managed NOI’s communications strategy, spearheading the two-and-a-half-year “Vertical Innovation” initiative aimed at positioning South Tyrol as the meeting place of research and business for pioneering business models. Since then, Blum has continuously supported the Techpark through strategic communications consulting, media relations, and public relations.
