OpenIndustria promotes the emergence of partnerships and collaborative networks.

We have established partnerships with several national entities that also have an important international visibility.

To name just a few:

FAST AEROSPACE 

Founded in March 2024 by a team of five young engineers under 30 at the Politecnico di Milano, FAST Aerospace stands out for innovation and sustainability in the space sector. The HyperDart system will enable satellites to be launched from space from existing airports, drastically reducing costs and waiting times, while offering a flexible solution for the European satellite industry.


This project represents a great opportunity for Italy to emerge as a protagonist in the development of hypersonic and sustainable technologies. With the team’s average age under 30, FAST Aerospace demonstrates the potential of young Italians in the field of aerospace innovation.


The company has already started designing a small-scale ramjet engine and plans to start up the first prototype by 2025, aiming to launch the complete system by the end of the decade.

MADE IN ITALY

Our partnership starts with the idea of strengthening the country system.

"In an age where visibility is increasingly rare currency, I have grasped the importance of illuminating our own creativity, bold decisions, talent and ingenuity. From here the idea arose to create a space where the stories of Italian excellence can not only live but also inspire those, hungry for knowledge, aspires to take this path." This is the beginning of Roberto Santori, the soul of Made in Italy, a platform created to celebrate and disseminate the virtues of the Italian company, creating a community for the exchange of successes and innovations, In addition to meetings with institutions and programmes for the development of entrepreneurial skills.
The project, aiming to strengthen the links between entrepreneurs and the country system, organizes events and thematic seminars to promote a constructive dialogue between experts, professionals and institutional figures, embracing different areas of know-how Italian.

NABILA FINANZA

We will create online events and content for the social light but at the same time complete, a kind of advanced financial and economic education.

The Nabila platform was also used and recommended during the financial education course held at universities.

Nabila has a lot of visibility on Instagram but we want to implement it also on LinkedIn.

Our idea is to create a group of people working horizontally, halfway between the approach system of Mattei and Olivetti.

Create a didactic and informative product that explores our country starting from the data.

We are discreetly young, prepared and above all we have enthusiasm!

In OpenIndustria we like to promote and give space to publications and books that tell the companies and the life of great entrepreneurs, past and present, which have made and make Italy important in the world.
