The concept of "engineering" covers many areas and is the crucial factor in fields as varied as aviation, transportation, medical devices, energy, environment and other state-of-the-art technologies. The Mechanical Engineering cluster, which already delivers precision solutions in the field of cancer diagnosis and therapy, has identified four sectors in which the region has a great deal of expertise and a strong competitive advantage :
· New materials (nanotechnologies)
· Future services with global technologies
· Mecatronics (synergetic combination of mechanical engineering, electronics and software engineering)
· Intelligent maintenance
