Milan is home to major financial and industrial enterprises. In addition to its widening range of creative industries, it has a modern telecommunications infrastructure benefiting businesses operating in the city. Milan is the business home to over 12,000 companies including global corporations such as Versace, Campari Group, ODEON and Dolce & Gabanna. The city hosts a large number of telecommunication companies including both state owned television companies and private media companies like Mediaset and Sky Italia.
Milan is home to the biggest Internet Exchange in Italy and one of the oldest in Europe – the Milan Internet Exchange (MIX). Founded in 2000, MIX was one of the six charter members of EURO-IX and provides connectivity to over 100 Italian and International ISPs and carrier services. MIX growth rates are strong and in-line with the largest exchanges in Europe.
As a percentage of GDP, Italy’s online economy has the third highest forecasted growth rate in the EU. Milan is an Alpha leading global city with strengths in the arts, commerce, design, education, finance, healthcare, media, and services.
