"Our thought creates the future"
(Anatole France)

The new SMILAB Technological Pole was established in 2008 in San Giovanni Bianco (Bergamo) as a "Research & Development Laboratory", "Innovation Laboratory" and "Training Laboratory". 

By this project SMIGroup confirms its attention towards research and technology innovation as essential principles of its economic, cultural and social growth. SMILAB represents the strengthening of all technology and methodology experiences acquired over the years, which allows today SMIGroup to lead important projects in quality of "main contractor".
