ADVANCED MANUFACTURING DAYS 2026 – AMD

“La Campania che cresce: Advanced Manufacturing Days” (AMD) is an internationalisation programme designed and organised by SPICI, developed in collaboration with Regione Campania and Sviluppo Campania S.p.A., and hosted by Fabbrica Italiana dell’Innovazione. It was created to connect Campania's production system with international buyers and economic operators. The aim is to foster the development of new clients, export opportunities, commercial agreements, and industrial and technological collaborations.

In the 1st edition, scheduled for 11 and 12 December 2026 in Naples, Campania-based companies will meet buyers and economic operators from China and the United Arab Emirates. The meetings will focus on technology-intensive sectors, from artificial intelligence to manufacturing and advanced services. The thematic areas include AI and digital, advanced manufacturing, energy and sustainability, space and drones, cultural and creative industries, with a focus on the America’s Cup.

Main objectives of the programme:

• facilitate Campania companies' access to new markets;

• generate export opportunities and new sales channels;

• activate industrial cooperation and technology transfer;

• attract investments and partnerships from target markets;

• strengthen Campania’s international reputation as a region of excellence for high technologies.

The programme is structured in several phases:

1. promotion and involvement of Campania companies;

2. scouting and selection of foreign buyers;

3. a preparation programme for companies on foreign markets, regulatory aspects, intellectual property protection, and intercultural communication;

4. the two days of the event: on the first day, the Opportunity Forum, thematic talks, and pre-scheduled business meetings, on the second day, the Campania Industry 4.0 Tour visiting local businesses, competence centres, hubs, and laboratories;

5. the follow-up, to ensure continuity to the relations established.

The programme aims to involve 50 foreign buyers and qualified operators, 150 Campania companies, and facilitate over 200 business meetings.
