As part of the Politecnico di Milano, POLI.design is a container of knowledge and experience, and draws from the large set of multidisciplinary expertise of the first and most important Italian technical university, and is also significantly related to the Italian Design System, thanks to relationship with the Design Associations. POLI.design acts by establishing partnerships with universities, corporations, institutions, and also with companies with which it shares the same goal of spreading:
