Fostering networking means creating meaningful connections and opportunities for genuine exchange. At Palazzo Innovazione, this mission is brought to life through tangible initiatives. On 21 July, the Social Floor at the Complesso Santa Sofia headquarters hosted the follow-up event to the SVST Hackathon Salerno, coordinated by Dr. Rosario De Feo in collaboration with SVST Hackathon and SIIAM.
The event brought together the young talents who participated in last May’s competition, alongside founders and entrepreneurs from innovative companies across the region, creating an environment for dialogue, collaboration, and the exchange of ideas.

Innovation-driven projects, current perspectives, and future opportunities were at the heart of the event. The programme opened with welcoming remarks from Ciro Pappalardo, Secretary General of SIIAM. Before the project pitch presentations, attendees heard an inspiring keynote on innovation in medicine delivered by Roberto Ascione, CEO of Future Health Ventures Group. Drawing on his extensive experience, he also took part in the feedback session, providing strategic insights and practical guidance to help participants strengthen their projects and unlock their growth potential.

Our sincere thanks go to all the teams and participants for their enthusiasm, valuable contributions, and active engagement in making this event a success.
