Four productive districts from Agro-Food and related technology (diary & creamery – sparkling wine – fisheries – packaging) participated to the meeting together with eight dynamic companies and stakeholders. Housing sector accounted for other three productive districts (renewable energy – building restoration – lighting). All together the participating districts represented 1.179 companies and 19.583 jobs (Data 2009).
