Where once an aluminium plant stood, now South Tyrol's innovation district is growing. At the peak of its production, the Bolzano aluminium plant (later "Alumix") covered two thirds of the national demand. A giant that used up as much energy as all of South Tyrol today, being at the same time a masterpiece of the Bauhaus movement.

Today, NOI Techpark symbolises the evolution from heavy industry to ideas factory. A completely renovated and upgraded historical site, where creativity and innovative spirit are finding space to flourish between transformers and furnaces. A place, where companies, institutions and the university meet, working jointly on research and development projects.
