The “Parco Cardano” initiative arises from the need of the University of Pavia to create a hub for companies with a high rate of innovation, to promote synergy with the University and with the other research institutes of the “Distretto della Scienza, del Sapere e dell’Innovazione”, located in the north-west area of Pavia.

The whole development – of approximately 23,000 m2 – consists of a complex of buildings, which overlook a large open space, the “Green Court”, and are connected to the adjacent University campus by a green “boulevard”. Arexpo will initially develop the first lot of 5,400 m2.
