Polytechnic University of Milan

Politecnico di Milano (Polytechnic University of Milan) is a leading public technical university based in Milan, with multiple campuses across Lombardy and a large applied research enterprise. Companies engage via co‑located labs, shared prototyping and testing facilities, and an on‑campus innovation district and startup accelerator. Internships and thesis collaborations make it easy to scope pilots, access talent, and run joint development on site or at partner locations. Research is backed by competitive European and national funding, including European Commission programs such as Horizon Europe, alongside regional support and direct industry contracts. A dedicated technology transfer office manages IP, licensing, spinout formation, and sponsored‑research agreements.
