A strategic location

The Park is located just 3 kilometres from the centre of Bergamo, 40 km north of Milan and 140 km from the intersection with the Brenner motorway, which is the gateway to central Europe. Running parallel with the Park is the A4 motorway – northern Italy’s most important arterial road.
Three international airports (Malpensa, Linate and Orio al Serio) link up this area with rest of the world. Moreover, a dynamic train network puts the Park in easy reach of the main cities in Italy and in the rest of Europe.
Situated in the heart of Lombardy – one of the engines of the European economy – Kilometro Rosso benefits from an exceptionally strategic location, thanks not only to its proximity to the main national and continental communication routes but also – and, indeed, even more so – to the richness of the industrial, manufacturing and socio-economic fabric into which it is integrated.

A Science Park that is also an ‘Architecture Park’

As well as being a leading centre for science and technology, Kilometro Rosso is also a place for experimenting with exceptional architectural and design solutions and advanced systems. The entire complex – including all of its different buildings – was conceived and designed with a view to enriching the local area by enhancing the quality of work and the quality of life of those working and living in the area. Some of the leading names in the world of architecture have been responsible for parts of the Park, including Jean Nouvel, Richard Meier and the renowned Californian firm of architects, SOM (Skidmore, Owings & Merrill).

Cutting-edge design solutions

Kilometro Rosso was built using state-of-the-art architectural solutions and is powered by high-quality, cost-effective systems. Low environmental impact and running costs are guaranteed by eco-friendly building materials, intelligent site management and long-term cost management with advanced systems for passive energy management and future resource planning.

A stimulating, valuable system of relationships

Kilometro Rosso provides an exceptionally stimulating environment that promotes cross-fertilisation – meaning the ‘contamination’ of different cultures, experiences and methodologies of research, operation and management – thanks to the mutual proximity of hi-tech companies, research centres and laboratories working in different sectors and disciplines. This is achieved through the constant synergies and science and technology marketing operations that are implemented on a daily basis by those responsible for promoting Kilometro Rosso to all its partners, whether they are located within the Park or not.
In this way, Kilometro Rosso fosters a system of inter-personal, inter-disciplinary and multi-sector relationships. Every company located within the Park can share its network of contacts with other tenants. The Park is very much the meeting point for an array of different cultures, experiences, expertise, ideas and leadership styles.
