Thursday 26 March 2026, at the Fabbrica Italiana dell’Innovazione in Naples, the Open Day of VulcanicaMente 6 will take place, one of the central moments of the program promoted to enhance young talent and support the creation of new entrepreneurial initiatives ready to enter the Validation Pathway of VulcanicaMente 6.

VulcanicaMente – from talent to enterprise® is the competition promoted by the Municipality of Naples with the aim of enhancing young talents who bring entrepreneurial ideas and supporting the concrete creation of new businesses. The operational management of the program is entrusted to the RTI composed of SPICI Srl and Fabbrica Italiana dell’Innovazione.

The Open Day represents a particularly significant stage of this journey: a competition with cash prizes aimed at selecting the 12 best entrepreneurial ideas. The initiative is conceived as an opportunity to present, compare, and enhance projects, skills, and innovative visions, in a context that brings together institutions, organizers, technical contacts, and participants.

The morning will begin with introductory greetings from Mariangela Contursi, General Director of SPICI Srl. This will be followed by a presentation of the VulcanicaMente 6 project, featuring speeches from Fabio Di Dato, Head of Youth and Work Area of the Municipality of Naples, and Giampiero Bruno, Technical-Scientific Referent of the Acceleration Program.

The central moment of the event will be the Pitch Session, coordinated by Clara Amadigi, Project Manager of the Fabbrica Italiana dell’Innovazione, during which the entrepreneurial proposals featured in this edition will have the opportunity to present themselves and engage in the competition.

The morning will conclude with the final greetings and awards ceremony led by Chiara Marciani, Councillor for Youth Policies and Work of the Municipality of Naples, and Fabrizio Monticelli, President of Fabbrica Italiana dell’Innovazione.

With VulcanicaMente 6, a path continues aimed at supporting ideas, skills, and projects capable of transforming talent into enterprise, strengthening growth and development opportunities for the area.
