Why invest in Campania?
Campania, with its more than 5.5 million inhabitants, is Italy's third most populous region and its youngest: 20% of its population is under 20 years old. With a GDP accounting for 6.25% of the national total and around 1.77 million employed people, the Region ranks first in Italy for youth entrepreneurship (11.3%) and records steady growth in employment and innovative start-ups. Its university and training system, which is at the forefront both nationally and internationally, its vibrant research and innovation ecosystem, and its competitive operating costs compared to the Italian average make Campania the most dynamic Region in southern Italy. Its strategic location, enhanced by an advanced regional logistics system, places Campania favourably in relation to Mediterranean, European and international markets.
