The Invest in Lombardy team was really very helpful, they understood our needs. They were dedicated to finding the correct location for our company and they built connections with many suppliers for us. They were supportive not just before, but also after we established our Italian company. They always kept an eye on us to support our new company during our first adaptation stage.
Alper Akyuz, CEOAnatolia chose Lombardy as the Italian location for its subsidiary Alpha IVD, established to provide and develop high-quality molecular diagnostic kits and equipment, both in Italy and in Europe.
Indeed, the company considered extremely attractive both the very centralized position of Lombardy in Europe and the presence of talented professionals, who form the "backbone " of company's business in Europe.
