Sectors of excellence in the region
Trentino-Alto Adige’s economy is based on a combination of primary production, industry and tourism. The region’s advantageous geographical location facilitates trade with Austria and Germany via the Brenner motorway.
The graphic sector in Trentino has experienced significant economic development, driven by a combination of traditional craftsmanship and modern digital innovation. The region’s industrial base includes small and medium-sized enterprises specializing in textiles, mechanics, wood, and paper production, with notable clusters in Valsugana, Vallagarina, and the Adige Valley. This industrial diversity provides a solid foundation for the graphic sector, encompassing printing, binding, and design services.
In the digital realm, Trentino boasts a vibrant web design industry, with over 50 companies in Trento alone. These firms offer a range of services, including website development, digital marketing, and graphic design, catering to both local businesses and international clients. The presence of research institutions like the University of Trento and the Bruno Kessler Foundation fosters a culture of innovation, supporting the growth of digital design and marketing sectors.
Initiatives such as “Design for Growth“, organized by the University of Trento, highlight the region’s commitment to integrating design thinking into public policy and business strategies, further enhancing the sector’s development.
