In Monza there're some other R&D center, left behind by the old Philips R&D of the 80s. First that come to mind in my field (embedded) is the Flextronics Medical Division. A lot of people is currently consulting and building "dinamic-teams": one small srl take the work and the team grow as needed with consultant. Startups? I joined one in 2000 (ubiquity, in milan) they are still around but they changed their DNA.
