What is the Apuan Industrial Zone Consortium and what are its activities:

The Apuan Industrial Zone Consortium is a public subject founded by a specific Italian State Law in 1947 and recognized by art. 36 of Law no. 317 in 1991 as a Public Economic Corporation.
Its institutive Law attributes to the A.I.Z. Consortium a direct competence on a specific area of about 822 hectares, the so-called Apuan Industrial Zone, situated across the cities of Massa and Carrara, and more generally on all industrial zones of the associated counties in Lunigiana and Versilia.
According to national and regional Laws, and to its own Statute, the A.I.Z. Consortium carries out a double function:

• a Public Administration role, including several urbanistic and technical attributions in its area of interest;

• a Service Providing role to local enterprises, with an organization and accounting structure comparable to private companies

The A.I.Z. Consortium, in accordance to its statutory aims and the Laws that regulate it, has recently added to its purposes the diffusion of telematic culture among people, enterprises and corporations situated in the Apuan area.
Therefore, it has realized a telematic infrastructure called "Apuan Telematic Net",  in cooperation with several public and private subjects of Tuscany, in order to provide access to its services and to the Internet at the best possible conditions according to available technologies.
