The development of VEGA is organized into four adjacent areas covering a total area of 35 hectares roughly, which the Town Plan of the Municipality of Venice has destined to a Science and Technology Park.

AREA 1 extends over an area of 9.4 hectares roughly
The VEGA project stemmed from the conversion of this initial area that had housed the processing of raw materials for the production of chemical fertilizers until 1993. Modern buildings now stand there where abandoned factories used to be: a floor area exceeding 28,000 sq.m was built by VEGA with EU financial backing, i.e. the FERS funds allocated to and managed by the Government of the Veneto region. The balance floor area of 35,000 sq.m was completed with the support of the first private investor: the company Nova Marghera.

AREA 2 extends over 8.8 hectares roughly
A continuation of Area 1, Area 2 is well known as the Coastal Depot of Agip Petroli. It overlooks an important waterway that takes to the Venice lagoon; the bank of this waterway might be equipped with berthing for inland navigation lines. Land reclamation was performed by Agip with the innovative technology of heap pile bioremediation, and it returned to the community a highly profitable area right at the point of entry to the city of Venice.
The area was developed in partnership between VEGA and Condotte Immobiliare SpA (a private joint-stock company).

AREA 3 extends over 11 hectares roughly
Area 3 lies along the same road that connects the first two areas, on via delle Industrie. It is called “ex Complessi” because it used to produce and store “complex” fertilizers (NPK - nitrogen, phosphorous, and potassium). The area is privately owned therefore its development was by private initiative as well.
 
Area 4 extends over 5.9 hectares roughly
The project concerns the functional and environmental redevelopment of an area called “ex Cargo System” once used as a coal store, with new buildings (34,300 sq.m). The area is privately owned, therefore its development was by private initiative as well.
