Main Activity
The Fondazione Parco Tecnologico Padano (FPTP), was founded in 1999 by local institutions (Lodi Province, Lodi city council and Lodi Chamber of commerce) and is strongly supported by Lombardy Region. FPTP is acknowledge as Lombardy Centre of Excellence in Agrobiotechnology and as Research centre of the Ministery of Agricolture. FPTP also runs a science park within which research laboratories (livestock and plant biotechnologies), a bio-incubator and a technological platform have been established. Its creation is directly related to the transfer of the Faculties of Veterinary Medicine and Agronomical Sciences of the University of Milan on a new campus in Lodi (20 Km south of Milan). FPTP is focused on: supporting a pole of excellence in biotechnologies applied to the agro-food sector; developing a Technology Transfer Platform for the area; delivering RTDI services to agro-food industries and cattle-breeders in Lombardy; supporting start-ups and spin-offs in the field of biotechnologies with incubator facilities and services; attracting advanced agro-food and biotech industries with high-quality premises in a business park located close to the pole of excellence. Concerning research activities, FPTP has its own research centre, CERSA (with 6 departments namely two livestock genomics labs, plant genomics, cell and molecular biology, bio- informatics, genomic platform)
