Urban innovation & tourism solutions – Ascom Padova partnership offer

Ascom Padova offers proven expertise in local economic revitalization and sustainable urban innovation. We coordinate the Distretti del Commercio, activating commercial clusters across the Padova area: 14 approved district projects focusing on urban regeneration, mobility, digitalization and new services—ranging from smart commercial itineraries to adaptive reuse of underused spaces.

Our team led the Fondo Turismo Sostenibile, supporting SMEs with investments in sustainable tourism infrastructure, digital tools and promotion strategies to minimize overtourism and boost rural, cultural, and eco-friendly travel.

Under the Next Generation EU-funded GREENTA project, we co-created a network of eight urban parks in Padova—delivering placemaking workshops (“GREEN Thinking”), sustainable design (“GREEN Talent”) and an interactive app (“GREEN Touch”) to foster accessibility, community engagement and resilient green infrastructure.

For 15‑minute City topics we bring tested models in urban logistics (pedestrian/commercial routes, adaptive openings), public space placemaking, and digital tools enhancing local engagement.
For Circular Urban Economies, our portfolio includes circular tourism strategies, green infrastructures, and procurement tools that blend sustainability, local commerce, and eco‑design.
