Territorial development

Our territorial development strategy is built to respond to local employment needs, skills levels, and economic and social dynamics.

For this reason, we also maintain close ties with schools and academic institutions to attract graduates and scientists who have the skills and expertise to keep pace with our evolving career tracks.
