It is a record in Italy for EU superstar companies, which have experienced rapid growth and have been on the market for more than ten years. Lombardy and Lazio, on the other hand, top the list of regions with the most scale-ups, which are companies with less than ten years of existence and a 40% increase in turnover in at least two of the last three years. This was revealed by the European scale-up monitor, a tool presented during a conference at the Luiss Business School, which counts 818 scale-ups in Italy, the majority of which are in Lombardy (218 activities), followed by Lazio (116). This is followed by Piedmont (47), Emilia-Romagna (49), Tuscany (36) and Trentino-Alto Adige (9 scale-ups). This region holds the superstar record with 24 booming companies. In terms of activity, many scale-ups operate in the hospitality industry, while those in ICT and R&D are growing.
