Investment description

In 2021 Macrogen opened a new office and laboratory space in the UniMi Foundation, the incubation and technology transfer center of the University of Milano. The “Invest in Italy” team, composed by the Italian Trade Agency, its office in Seoul and Invitalia, in collaboration with the City of Milano’s investment promotion agency Milano&Partners, supported the company throughout the investment project evaluation with dedicated site visits to Milano’s main scientific parks and other administrative information on the hiring of local young talents.

By choosing Milan from a shortlist of several European locations, the company decided to bet on the growing demand for genomics services coming from Italian customers and Italy’s willingness to gain a leading position in this field.
