Campania is a territory rich in businesses that innovate, experiment, and invest in research, technologies, skills, and new growth models. To enhance these energies and give them greater visibility at a national level, Fabbrica Italiana dell’Innovazione and SPICI, in collaboration with 012factory, are promoting the Premio PMI Innovativa InnovUp 2026 – Regione Campania (Innovative SME Award InnovUp 2026 – Campania Region).

The Award, promoted by InnovUp, was created to recognise the merit of companies that innovate and to foster the development of Italian SMEs, while at the same time strengthening the role of Innovation Centres as local outposts serving growth, networking, and open innovation.

The Campania stage is aimed at Innovative SMEs with registered offices in the Campania Region, that are regularly registered in the special section of the Business Register dedicated to Innovative SMEs at the time of submitting the application.

Applicant businesses will be evaluated on the basis of quantitative and qualitative criteria, including investments in research and development, turnover growth, presence of highly qualified staff, patents, innovativeness of the business activity, training, quality of work, and future projects.

The winning SME of the regional stage will progress to the national phase of the Award, together with the winners of the other local awards and the best companies selected from among the participants.

The regional final will take place on 22 October 2026 at the Technological Hub Fabbrica Italiana dell’Innovazione, in Via Ponte dei Granili 24, Naples. It will be an opportunity for discussion, networking, and the promotion of innovative local businesses, open to the innovation ecosystem, institutions, partners, and regional stakeholders.

To apply, it is necessary to submit the application form, the required documentation, a brief company presentation, and the self-declaration form required by the regulations.

Applications are open from 16 July to 2 October 2026.
