In Piedmont there is a unique blend that has been created from the evolution of technology, the push of industry, the rediscovery of its characteristic handicrafts, and a philosophy of food with a grater awareness of the values of the earth. This has made it so that local values have been calibrated to become the rules of the global game.

The entrepreneurial and inventive capacity of Piedmont’s people has allowed the region to boast numerous instances of excellence. There is the car design of the body designers such as Pininfarina, Giugiaro and Bertone. There is the home design industry in Novara Province, which can take the credit for having revolutionised the look of household articles all over the world. There is the processing of cashmere from almost all over the world in Biella Province. There is the technology of the mp3, which comes out of a concept formulated by a research group in Turin. There are the futuristic tracks, where track-and-field athletes run, that are made with special materials projected in Cuneo Province. Then, there is robotics. Turin is one of its world capitols and hosts companies that are leaders in the fields of ICT, high-tech, hydrogen use development and applied research.
