Representatives of the scientific and institutional world will be present at the event: Diana Carosella, Technical Coordinator of the “Stabia Space Village” Network Agreement; Elena Cavaliere, Headmaster of the “F.

Valeria Fascione, Councilor for Research, Innovation and Startups of the Campania Region: “The Space Economy represents one of the most interesting development trajectories of the global economy, with a supply chain that starts from research and development to infrastructures and the creation of enabling solutions from environmental monitoring, to the testing of new drugs up to the launch of satellites. Campania expresses a significant wealth of knowledge and businesses that attest it among the most active regions in the sector, thanks also to the signing of protocols with ESA, ASI and ENAC to allow testing and verification of products and services. The inauguration of the “Space Young Hub”, the first in Italy for the promotion of startups operating in the Space Economy, is an important piece of our positioning because it stimulates the creation of new youth businesses in a sector with high growth potential such as space technologies. Castellammare, a place with a great tradition of sea exploration, is thus preparing to face the new adventures of Space”.
Luigi Carrino, President of the Campania Aerospace District: “This first Italian hub dedicated to start-ups by young high school students in the space sector represents not only a springboard for the many brilliant minds of our territory, but also a tangible contribution against the flight of talent from the South. This project, strongly supported by the Campania Aerospace District, is a concrete example of how innovation and training can converge to create new job opportunities and stimulate youth entrepreneurial growth”.
