In the last 30–40 years industrialisation transformed the appearance of the landscape, especially in the plains.

The regional [[Manufacturing|industry]] is especially made of small and medium-sized businesses, which are active in several sectors: food products, wood and furniture, leather and footwear, textiles and clothing, gold jewelry, but also chemistry, metal-mechanics and electronics. This has led to the establishment of a strongly export-orientated system of industries.

Typical of Veneto is the partition of the territory into industrial districts, which means that each area tends to specialise in a specific sector. The province of Venice hosts large metallurgical and chemical plants in [[Marghera]] and [[Mestre]], but is also specialised in glass handicraft ([[Murano]]).
The province of Belluno hosts the so-called eyeglasses district, being the largest world manufacturer [[Luxottica]] a firm domiciled at Agordo. Other important firms are [[Safilo]], De Rigo, Marcolin.

[[Fashion|Fashion industry]] is extremely strong all over the region: [[Benetton Group|Benetton]], [[Bottega Veneta]], [[Geox]], [[Diesel (brand)|Diesel]], [[Golden Goose]], [[Calzedonia]], [[Pal Zileri]], [[Dainese]], [[Lotto Sport Italia|Lotto]], [[Marzotto]], [[Tecnica Group]] are all Venetian brands.

Other large Venetian companies are [[Aprilia]], [[AGV (helmet manufacturer)|AGV]], [[Campagnolo]], [[De'Longhi]], [[Fedrigoni]], [[Laverda]], [[Permasteelisa]], [[Pinarello]], [[Wilier Triestina]], [[Zamperla]].

During the last 20 years, a large number of Venetian companies relocated their plants (especially the most dangerous and polluting productions) in [[Eastern Europe]], especially [[Romania]]. The Romanian city of [[Timișoara]] is also called "the newest Venetian province".<ref>{{cite web|url=http://archiviostorico.corriere.it/2001/febbraio/01/Timisoara_nuova_provincia_industriale_veneta_co_0_0102011149.shtml |title=Timişoara, la nuova provincia industriale veneta |publisher=Archiviostorico.corriere.it |date=2007-01-02 |access-date=2009-05-06 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20081206115743/http://archiviostorico.corriere.it/2001/febbraio/01/Timisoara_nuova_provincia_industriale_veneta_co_0_0102011149.shtml |archive-date=6 December 2008 }}</ref>
