Easily accessible, Padua is well connected with major Italian destinations (Venice, Milan, Turin, Bologna, and Florence) and with several important foreign cities, thanks also to the proximity of various airports. As the provincial capital of Veneto, one of the regions of the leading economic triangle at the national level (together with Lombardy and Emilia Romagna), Padua is home to numerous companies and enterprises and serves as an important economic crossroads.
The World Health Forum Veneto takes place in a city that has made culture, science, and innovation its hallmark throughout history. Home to an excellent Hospital, one of the oldest universities in the world, and two UNESCO sites (the fourteenth-century fresco cycles and the Botanical Garden), Padua continues to focus on innovation and knowledge.
A great tourist vocation fueled by the historical-artistic and cultural wealth (the Scrovegni Chapel and the Basilica of St. Anthony are just some of the city's sites that attract tourists from all over the world), the landscapes of the Euganean Hills, the nearby thermal basin of Abano and Montegrotto, and a rich gastronomic offer: Padua and the surrounding areas are dedicated to welcoming all types of tourism, from congress to religious and cultural tourism.
The World Health Forum Veneto is born with a specific purpose: to analyze the present and delve into the future of medical sciences and technologies that can improve life.
