This is complemented by networking with other university labs and makerspaces in Italy and abroad that focus on making and digital fabrication, as well as participation in programs and events such as ManifatturaMilano<\/a> and Milano Circolare<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Polifactory is one of the 390 Technology Centers mapped in the European Monitor of Industrial Ecosystems (EMI)<\/a>, accredited by the European Commission. Technology Centers are public or private organizations that conduct applied research and near-market innovation (technology readiness levels TRL 3 to 8, not necessarily the entire range) in the fields of digital, green, and other advanced technologies. They help SMEs create and produce innovative technology-based products by providing services such as demonstrator development, proof-of-concept, prototype development, and testing.<\/p>\n

Since 2025, the Circular Food System Lab<\/a> has been operating within Polifactory. This new multidisciplinary Living Lab at the Politecnico di Milano will design the Twin Transition of urban food systems and will be part of the emerging European Food Lab Network.<\/p>\n
