Where Innovation Meets Trust
A strong foundation for your success
The best of two worlds: Discover the potential of a very special economic region between north and south.
Our region is characterised by its location. South Tyrol is located on the border between north and south, right where two cultures meet. Here, the reliability of the Alps and the creativity of the Mediterranean blend together to create South Tyrol success stories as seen in performance-oriented, highly innovative yet efficient ideas and products. From green innovations and sustainable agricultural concepts to modern top-of-class hospitality: the people behind the businesses in South Tyrol change the world of tomorrow—with expert skill, technical precision, and a fine sense of aesthetics.
Value Proposition #1: Quality
High standards is where we start
Our actions have always been driven by high quality expectations: life in the mountains, often full of deprivation, has created a 100% reliable work culture in South Tyrol over centuries. Wherever this timeless virtue encounters an inventor’s spirit and traditional knowledge, top-of-class products in the key sectors of South Tyrol are created. The South Tyrol brand is associated with top quality standards even outside the region. The people’s genuine hospitality as well as the strong service and food processing sectors of South Tyrol have ensured that this image is perpetuated far beyond the borders of the region.
Value Proposition #2: Innovation
Building bridges between worlds
One of the biggest South Tyrol business advantages is the region’s reputation as a business location and competence hub driven by innovation. The business power of local companies lies in their ability to combine tradition and future: traditional knowledge handed down through generations is married to state-of-the-art technology and developed into new and unique solutions. Moreover, South Tyrol’s geographical location at the heart of Europe makes it into a bridge: here, traditionally German virtues such as reliability and precision blend with Italian creativity, improvisational talent, and a sense of style. This combination creates an environment in which authenticity and uniqueness thrive—and innovation follows suit.
Value Proposition #3: Sustainability
Living responsibility with a vision
Handling resources mindfully and responsibly is a long-standing tradition in South Tyrol. For centuries, life in the mountains has been sustainable per se: supplies were scarce and required meticulous planning; everyday life was attuned to the rhythms of nature; and what was broken was fixed or reused rather than replaced. People and companies in South Tyrol still operate on that principle: South Tyrol combines traditional experience with modern approaches and clear goals for the future which involve not just green energy investments and environmental permits but the active advancement of sustainability in order to make the future worth living in.
