Where Research Becomes Innovation.
The Lab is part of the Excellence Project for the Ministry of University and Research for the five-year period 2023-2027.
In 2026, the Napoli FinTech Lab took part in the first Innovation Data Challenge, organised by the Bank of Italy and the Central Bank of Ireland.
Within the Lab, we develop research and innovation projects in collaboration with institutions, regulatory authorities, corporations, SMEs, and start-ups. For open innovation projects, we have developed an experimental Design Thinking approach. Our method draws on scientific research to inform the design process and builds a development workflow based on the integration of a Problem-Solving approach with Innovation of Meaning.
Together with our partners, we have developed research projects and prototypes in the following areas:
We implement open innovation projects by selecting the best young talents with backgrounds in economics and STEM, aiming to develop professionals with expertise in both financial and technological fields. Our training focuses on topics such as Financial Intermediation and Fintech, Data Analysis, Technological Innovation, Python Programming, Design Thinking, Digital Design, and Functional Analysis. Selected students work in multidisciplinary teams to develop real fintech solutions, addressing both design and technological-digital aspects, supported by a technology partner.
The laboratory is organized in a blended format.
A single goal: develop a prototype.
Recognition of ECTS credits and curricular internship valid for university studies.
We are looking for the best talents, nothing else. The lab has no entry fees for participation.
Company visits and introductory interviews with partner companies.
