Proposal · concept stage
Cagliari Current / Second Wave
More research becoming businesses. More reasons to stay.
A proposal to connect research, technology businesses and people across metropolitan Cagliari and the Pula research node. Not another list of projects, but a shared direction to test and build.
- Proposed horizon
- 2026–2032
- Geography
- Metropolitan Cagliari + Pula
- Formal commitment
- Not documented
The direction
Connect what we currently follow separately.
The question is concrete. What would help a person or a business choose Cagliari for technology work? This proposal brings together research reaching the market, business growth and credible routes for people to arrive or return.
From research to business
Understand which research results could become products, services or new businesses, and which steps are missing.
Businesses that grow here
Connect technical capabilities, customers and capital. Measure growth, not just the number of initiatives.
People who choose to be here
Treat work, returning home, transport and family life as parts of the same decision.
Seven lines of work
Proposed programmes. None is presented as operational.
Current Labs — Pula
Turn research capabilities into products and durable businesses.
Current Scale
Help product businesses move from early revenue to sustained growth.
Current Landing
Understand how to attract external engineering and research teams.
Current Return
Build a practical route for experienced Sardinian professionals to return.
Current Talent
Address technical recruitment and relocation for people and their families.
Current Capital
Connect local founders and investors with Italian, European and international capital.
Current Connect
Examine transport, airport connections and relationships with other technology clusters.
The research base
Existing projects, not mission partners.
These five observatories help explain the context. Linking them is a Suldio research choice; it does not establish membership, endorsement or an agreement with Cagliari Current.
Cagliari Digital Lab
Digital-service experiments and collaboration between research and businesses.
Open the observatory ↗e.INS — Ecosystem of Innovation for Next Generation Sardinia
A regional programme to follow for research, technology transfer and businesses.
Open the observatory ↗REG4IA — Sardinia Digital Twin
Data and digital twins to understand possible applications and capabilities.
Open the observatory ↗Sardegna Ricerche Industry 4.0 Competence Centre
Industrial capabilities and technology services to connect with business needs.
Open the observatory ↗SardGen Biobank
Research infrastructure in Pula, relevant to the scientific and technology landscape.

Measure the starting point.
There are no verified baselines for the mission indicators yet. A progress percentage would therefore be misleading. 2032 is a proposed horizon, not a funded deadline.
| What we would measure | Verified baseline | Agreed target |
|---|---|---|
| Active technology businesses and their growth | Unknown | Not set |
| Research results becoming products or businesses | Unknown | Not set |
| Technical hiring, new arrivals and returning professionals | Unknown | Not set |
| Technology revenue from customers outside Sardinia | Unknown | Not set |
The next step
A first conversation, with concrete questions.
Verify the starting point
Agree on definitions and sources for businesses, technical work and technology transfer.
Understand who wants to contribute
Talk with people working in government, research and business. Interest is not yet membership.
Choose a first experiment
Identify a narrow problem, a responsible person and a verifiable outcome before widening the programme.
