Sardegna Ricerche is the Agency of the Regional Government of Sardinia for innovation and technology transfer, and for the development of a knowledge-based  local economy. Since 1989 it has been working alongside the local businesses, supporting them in developing innovative ideas and products, together with universities and research centres, and promoting  initiatives for the internationalization of Sardinian companies. A network of tematic helpdesks  provides ongoing assistance in areas ranging from business creation to the protection of intellectual property, up to participation in European Union R&D programmes. Support and funding from the EU and Sardinian Regional Government to R&D is  strong: 155 M EURO for 2021-2027 (ERDF).

In 2003 Sardegna Ricerche created and now manages the Science & Technology Park of Sardinia, set up in the island’s evocative natural landscapes. Across the Park's 4 sites (Pula, Alghero, Oristano e Macchiareddu), businesses are provided with equipped spaces and state-of-the-art technological labs. ICT’s, Biomedicine, Renewable Energy, Agribusiness and Circular Economy are the key technology areas in which the Park is involved.
