We would like to introduce you - potential investors and tourists, economic operators and residents – to the metropolitan area of Milan by means of this overview of its key economic and social indicators.

A glance at the latest figures will give you a clear picture of the state of our area, not only in terms of economic development, international market and globalization  but also in terms of quality of life, social  development and knowledge dissemination.

Knowing exactly where we are today also helps us to identify what still needs to be done to guarantee our territory a constant and market-oriented development.

This publication represents a significant analysis for experts and operators and, at the same time, it is an important opportunity to disseminate production and services excellences that characterised Milan."
