Material ConneXion Milan

Material ConneXion^® Milan is located at Materially headquarters in Building 16 of the former Ansaldo Group industrial complex. This space has undergone renovation with the creation of 65 factory lofts that now house firms in the architecture, design, and IT sectors.

Materially helps companies in the development and promotion of sustainable innovation starting with materials. There is a focus on circular economy and intelligent innovation, thanks to design thinking methods and a broad background of international projects and experiences.
