Why investing in Mediglia?

The development of the local entrepreneurship and its enhancement represent an important theme, of interest for the local entities, as new attractive poles supporting the centrality of the Lombard city. The local economy revival strategies, in the sense of economic development, have the objective of developing positive economic cycles, improving both the offer and the placement opportunities. The close proximity to the attractive poles and the high environmental connectivity of the territory allow the growth of the already existing potentialities and characteristics.

The Municipality of Mediglia, located in the south-east area of Milan, has 85% of its territory located within the “Parco Agricolo Sud Milano” (PASM). Its strong agricultural nature made it possible the proposal of the “Istituzione del Distretto Agricolo del Sud-Est Milano”, aimed at creating a model able to integrate the agricultural development with other types of promotions and increase of goods and services of the territory, together with the natural and local vocations.

The productive structure of the Mediglia municipality is composed of 596 companies, of which 43% are services, 23% are commercial activities, 19% construction businesses, 9% firms and 7% agricultural companies. The employees are 5,635 (data from Istat 2011).  

The main attraction factors include:

• Strategic location, accessibility and closeness to the Linate airport and to basins of primary importance
• Technological infrastructure coverage
• Fiscal pressure for firms, relative to industrial sheds and offices, below the average of the Municipalities in the provinces of Milan, Monza and Brianza and Lodi.
• Strong specialization in the chemical field (e.g. Mapei, ACS Dobfar)
• Proximity to the University pole of Città Studi, for both the possibility to activate collaboration projects and the facility to enter in contact with professionals to insert in the company
• Predominance of a young and active population and high employment rate
• Coordinated management between the main stakeholders in the territory and the Municipalities in the area for the implementation of services and the realization of infrastructures and analysis for the development of the area.
• Support the economic operators, interested also thanks to the Municipality’s participation to the AttrACT program
• Local presence of areas and disused buildings through which it is possible to use the urban regeneration plan of the homogenous south-east area and of the Metropolitan Territorial Plan.

Eight are the main settlement opportunities for economic and social development for the Mediglia Municipality: 1, Ambito Ex Porcilaia; 2, Ambito Mapei; 3, Ambito ACS Dobfar; 4, Ambito Atr1; 5, Pii Ambito A; 6, Ambito Ex Tritovagliatore Rifiuti; 7, Cascina Triginto; 8, Villa Danioni.
