Vicenza is a Province of records

Statistics on the primary economic indicators, in fact, always place the Province of Vicenza in a position of excellence – a sign of its dynamic and well-structured productive and commercial context – which is strong in numbers and conscious of aspects related to quality: a protagonist on the domestic market that also has a strategic propensity for exportation. With more than 90,000 companies operating in the territory, which are capable of expressing a turnover of some 90 billion EUR, Vicenza can be considered for all intents and purposes the productive heart of the Northeast, the area of Italy that has the highest concentration of enterprises. Vicenza’s entrepreneurial context is characterized by the high number of companies and especially by its strong productive diversification, which has been a strong point over the years and has allowed local entrepreneurs to easily overcome even the most difficult economic situations. From mechanics to tanning, from goldsmith production to textiles and clothing, from ceramics to wood furnishings and the agro-alimentary industry: Vicenza can boast of significant performance in all of these sectors, even holding positions of leadership on national and world markets in the goldsmith and tanning sectors. The productive system of this province is also assisted by a considerable number of strategic support activities: advanced tertiary companies, banks and financial groups, an important trade fair and a dynamic network of services offered by institutional organizations, among which the Vicenza Chamber of Commerce and its Special Agency Vicenza Qualità, which are committed to promoting Vicenza’s products and supporting the internationalization of enterprises. The Vicenza economy is highly industrialised, technologically advanced and quality-oriented. It is the result of the efforts of more than 90,000 companies (mostly small- and medium-sized enterprises spread all over the territory) which by tradition are export-oriented and already operate on the new internationalised market).
The key factors in the success achieved by the Vicentine economy and acknowledged by international businessmen are a flexible production, innovation and product quality.
