Intesa Sanpaolo and Talent Garden open in Napoli an innovation hub with the aim of creating a structure in the South dedicated to cutting-edge technology, enhancing local skills and promoting the entrepreneurial ecosystem of the South.
An innovative environment that blends Neapolitan dynamism and energy with the Bank's strong push towards digital and the international expertise of Talent Garden.
The project includes the opening, already underway, of the first technological hub in the South, the third after Turin and Milan, with hiring and requalifications to offer professional growth opportunities to young people from the South with hi-tech profiles.
The hub is part of Intesa Sanpaolo's digital transformation strategy and will be dedicated primarily to the development of applications in the fields of payments and corporate channels. The spaces, which cover a total of approximately 1.500 square meters within the Intesa Sanpaolo headquarters in Via Toledo, have been completely redesigned to encourage sharing, collaboration and creativity in line with the new ways of working adopted by the banking institution and geared towards the well-being of the people who work there.
The Talent Garden campus, part of a project by Talent Garden Med, a company created in partnership with Cassa Depositi e Prestiti Venture Capital, will be located on the first floors of the hub.
The structure will host the creative and technological ecosystem of Napoli and will be animated in the coming months by a series of activities that are being planned for the territory: meetings with international mentors from the Talent Garden network, open innovation for businesses and startups and above all training courses linked to technical subjects aimed at young people from the South.
“Naples is a city where tradition and innovation coexist and enrich each other. Campania, the third region for innovative startups with over 1.420 new businesses and the second for certified incubators, is increasingly establishing itself as an innovation hub in Italy,” said Irene Boni, CEO of Talent Garden. “Campania is ready for a new phase of transformation and with the new Talent Garden campus in Naples we are committed to being the fertile ground where new generations of innovators and entrepreneurs can grow, learn and transform their brilliant ideas into tangible realities.”
According to the Piepoli research carried out for the occasion, 'Young people and digital', the demand for training in the digital field is growing precisely among the young generations of the South and in particular among women. Three out of ten young people say they cannot live without digital, but, at the same time, they are aware of the importance of strengthening and improving their technical skills in a more specific way.
