An “innovation square” where various excellent functions meet: exhibitions, events, research, technology transfer, promotion. An open space where energies don’t add up, they multiply.
The Conference Center created by star architect Kengo Kuma and the new hub of the Faculty of Engineering of the University of Padua are two key elements of an urban project which aims to achieve the urban regeneration of the neighbourhood, destined to become a space dedicated to networking, to business, with various interconnected functions. A place to facilitate and cultivate innovation starting from the exchange of ideas, experiences and projects.
The property is 500 meters from the train station and major city chain hotels, and only 30 minutes from Venice Marco Polo International Airport.
An internal parking area is available within the exhibition district for congress participants, staff, and contractors, with up to 50 parking spaces on a first-come, first-served basis. Entrance to the area with vehicles is from Via Goldoni No. 8. To access, you will need to show your congress badge or an email with the congress invitation at the entrance.
