The companies at a glance
See where companies are based or work, and which also operate beyond Italy. The labels distinguish the Cagliari area from the rest of Sardinia; international reach is shown separately. Spin-off labels describe how a company began, even if its university status later changed. University-linked means a university connection is documented but spin-off origins are not established. Choose a label to explore the companies.
