It allowed me to acquire new skills in highly innovative fields and delve deeper into many aspects of my undergraduate degree that are essential for the working world. The professors are highly qualified and the environments in which the activities take place are truly stimulating. I highly recommend the Napoli Fintech Lab to all students who want to brilliantly approach the world of financial innovation.
The Napoli Fintech Lab has been a unique experience that has given me the opportunity to challenge myself in every way. We took part in stimulating and at the same time real projects, which helped us to fully understand all the phases involved in an innovation project. It was equally important because it changed my vision of innovation, looking at new entrepreneurial challenges with different eyes.
The Fintech Lab was a very formative experience for me as it allowed me to learn the entire process behind an idea, from the embryonic phase, through the phase where you start to give it a name and a defined form, up to the final phase, where, after a few months, you have the chance to see a prototype that could really go into production and become a new feature used by thousands of people.
It was an intense six months. Dynamic, pragmatic and full of ideas, I would do it again.
I can say with complete sincerity that it has been a fantastic journey. Starting from scratch, without even an idea, with a group of unknown people, and seeing how over the months, through specific phases, and a well-structured program, it is possible to generate an innovative idea and transform it into something concrete, thanks also to the support of the coaches and professionals who collaborate in the laboratory, has represented for me a growth experience both personally and professionally. In addition to having learned unique skills, I have met fantastic people who have become friends, and having been able to contribute to the realization of a project that will actually be implemented is a unique satisfaction.
The Napoli Fintech Lab was an adventure for me, where I promised myself to give my all. And that’s exactly what I did, from the first to the last day I gave my best for the team and for the challenge that had been entrusted to me. This lab certainly allowed me to have a concrete and complete vision of the entire process of an idea. And it was gratifying for me and my team to see our idea born, grow and be realized. Finally, it was really important for me to work and interact with the partner bank, so as to fully experience this as a “springboard” into the working world.
From the very beginning, I realized it would be a unique experience. The Napoli Fintech Lab has enriched me not only professionally but also personally. Innovation can be found in every step of the creation of an idea, and everything is always supported and accompanied by the Naples FintechLab team which is very professional and always available. The most exciting aspect, personally, was collaborating with leading industry partners, comparing ourselves and stimulating each other at every step of the challenge.
The NFL is a unique experience that is worth living; it’s an opportunity to cherish. I felt fully engaged both personally and professionally. The open and ongoing dialogue with professors, along with the close collaboration with experts and listening to clients during the Open Innovation project, represents the true added value of this stimulating journey, as it allows for personal investment, learning, and growth.
Through the NFL, I had the opportunity to learn from some of the most prominent experts in the industry. I met entrepreneurs who are realizing innovative business ideas by leveraging the most advanced technologies, and I worked on an ambitious project as part of an extremely motivated team. Most importantly, I learned how rewarding it can be to fully commit to achieving a goal.
The Napoli Fintech Lab was a fundamental step for me because I was motivated to build a solid career in the financial sector, but I also wanted my profession to be characterized by a high technological content, and the NFL certainly allowed me to acquire the tools and knowledge necessary to achieve my goals. Another aspect that I am keen to highlight from my experience is that thanks to the NFL I had the opportunity to expand my network of contacts.
The Naples FinTech Lab was a wonderful opportunity for both personal and professional growth. Thanks to this experience, I was able to experience innovation at 360 degrees, benefiting from the thoughts of people with diverse backgrounds and attitudes, but with a common goal: putting the customer first.
