3 TORINO AND ITS PROVINCE The province of Torino is the fourth in size in Italy in terms of number of enterprises and the ranks in second place for exports, after Milan. The contribution of the area to national wealth is remarkable: the GDP of the province of Torino in 2008 was comparable to that of countries such as the Slovak Republic and Morocco. This is the result of a well-established industrial tradition in addition to a constantly growing tertiary sector. The crisis that struck the world economy at the end of 2008 has also had repercussions on the Torino economy. The manufacturing production, after a period of considerable reduction, seems to be slowly recovering from this difficult moment. Torino has good potentials for overcoming these difficult times by laying stakes in the most innovative sectors - aerospace, environment and energy, biotechnologies - and by seeking renewed impulse in the traditional automotive and mechanical production sectors. Finally, the province has an excellent undergraduate and postgraduate university education portfolio and increasing tourist potentials.

4 Territory, population and environment The province of Torino is the second in size in Piedmont after Cuneo in terms of surface area: nearly half of the 6,829 square kilometres of the province is mountainous and the rest is equally distributed between hills and plains. The province is instead the first in Italy in terms of number of towns: 315, three-quarters of which are located on the hills or in the mountains. The population on 31 December 2008 was 2,290,990, specifically 52% women and 40% resident in the city of Torino. This was a +0.6% increase with respect to the previous year and mainly determined by a foreigners, the growth rate of whom is higher than that of the Italian population: during the year, foreign residents increased by +12.4%, reaching a total of 185 thousand individuals, 8.1% of the total population. The most numerous are rumanians, who alone account for approximately 46% of the foreign population and whose community has grown by +16.7% during the past year. The province has excellent attraction potentials and is competitive also in terms of infrastructures. Despite a minor decline in number of passengers and flights in due to the waning of the effects of the Olympics in 2006, year in which airport traffic reached its peak - Caselle airport has experienced an increase of passengers of over 20% (3.4 million in 2008) and of international flights of 7%, with 268 destinations during the past year. Among the numbers that clearly describe the health of the province of Torino and its environment, some of the most significant are definitely those related to rubbish sorting, which reached 49.1% in 2008, totally 571 thousand tons of waste, with a +5.2% growth with respect to the previous year. Over 60% was organic material and paper. The number of electricity generating plants using renewable sources was also on the rise: during the first semester of 2008, there were 80 plants running in the province of Torino, in view of 66 of the same period of 2007, and 30 were being planned (29 the year before). This is respectively 32% and 34% of those being built or planned in Piedmont. 4

8 Economy and business With a Gross Domestic Product of over 66 billion Euros, the province of Torino generates over 4% of Italy s entire national wealth. This value ideally places the area on the same level as countries such as the Slovak Republic and Morocco. A production base of 235,912 registered enterprises at the end of 2008 contributed to creating this added value: the fabric grown in the service sector has over the past decades while maintaining its traditional industrial calling combined with new production specializations. The result is a network spanning from IT&C to instrumental mechanics, automotive, aerospace, biotechnologies, food and wine, hydrogen and renewable energy sources. Service enterprises (trade, tourism, services for companies and individuals) today amount to approximately 60% of the total enterprises in the province. Trade is first (with over 26% of the total of registered companies), followed by services for enterprises (24%). Constructions and tourism have significantly increased over the past years as a result of the Olympic Games, while the industrial sector has essentially held its former ground. The entrepreneurial vocation of the province is confirmed by the 70% of the value added for 2007 produced by the sector of services and nearly 30% by industry in general. In the specific instance industry in a strict sense produces nearly 25% of the value added of the territory, constructions a few less than 5%. Despite the world-wide recession, the internationalisation process remains a major challenge, a challenge the province in winning as a result of its traditionally strong export propensity. Means of transport are the main export (40% of the total), followed by machines and mechanical apparatuses (21%), machines and electric-electronic devices (10%). France is the main trade partner of the Torino area and sales are developing in new European Union countries, such as Poland, which is today ranks in third place. The province of Torino has always been qualified as an innovative district, and this is witnessed by various indicators, such as the number of filed patent applications: European patent statistics show that the Torino area is a driver in terms of innovative capacity. 8
