Selection Process

Applicants will be assessed by a Selection Committee composed of members of the Department of Business and Quantitative Studies of Parthenope University and external individuals designated by the Laboratory’s partners.

For the open innovation pathway, the selection process consists of three stages:

  1. First phase: verification of compliance with the requirements of the call for applications and evaluation of the CV and qualifications submitted.
  2. Second stage: performance of a logic-psycho-aptitude test on a digital platform, without the need to go to the university site.
  3. Third stage: candidates considered suitable will be called to the University of Naples Parthenope site to attend a Talent Day, during which candidates will be assessed for their skills and problem-solving abilities on business cases in the Fintech field.

For the start-up pathway, the selection process occurs by assessment of the submitted materials and cognitive meeting.

The selection results will be published on the Napoli FinTech Lab website by 30 November 2022. For all information on how to be admitted, please download the selection announcement. For further information, please write to: fintech.lab@unipartenope.it
