Roma Capitale grants the surface right for approximately 7,500 square metres to the Rome Technopole Foundation for the construction of the technology pole (first lot).

Rome Technopole brings together the 7 leading universities based in Lazio, the 4 largest public research organisations, Unindustria, the Lazio Region, the Municipality of Rome, the Chambers of Commerce of Rome, Latina-Frosinone, Rieti-Viterbo, other public bodies, and more than 20 industrial groups and companies.

The Technopole will consist of three buildings (plus green areas) and will be built in two phases. The work on the first lot will involve the construction of a building of approximately 2,300 square metres where the Rome Technopole Foundation's headquarters will be located, as well as lecture halls and multimedia rooms and research laboratories, areas for technology transfer and areas for business incubators.

In particular:

• Common areas and services, including boardrooms;
• Lecture Halls and multimedia rooms for teaching and training activities. Specifically, about 10 classrooms will be built, which can be divided into teaching and training spaces that can be adapted to different needs over time;
• Research laboratories, technology transfer areas and business incubators, offering maximum flexibility and dynamic modulation through movable walls.

All the buildings will be designed using the most advanced technological solutions that will make them an example of a 'zero energy building' and 'zero emission building', self-sufficient in terms of energy, strongly marked by the circularity of the resources in use, and capable of contributing to the area's path towards decarbonisation and full climate neutrality. Energy will be produced entirely from renewable sources, through a combination of photovoltaics, innovative hydrogen systems for electricity and open-circuit geothermal energy.
