1.  GOVERNANCE

In its 20 years of activity, the SOFTECH team has gained experience in environmental planning on an urban and regional scale, use of renewable resources, bioclimatic design, promotion and co-ordination of numerous demonstration and pilot projects.

 

SOFTECH’s activities are marked by its international character in participating in projects originating from international authorities. Its very close relationship with the Italian context is maintained by means of the involvement of the cities, the regions and local communities within programmes having a European inspiration.

 

Various energy&environmental plans were developed by SOFTECH during the last ten years: the Renewable Energy Strategy for the City of Torino; the Energy Planning for the Umbria Region. SOFTECH became, then, more involved in planning processes and gained a lot of experience on the actual agenda of Regions and Cities in Europe.

Among the activities of SOFTECH the following are the most relevant for the profile of the company:
