The Homo Faber Economy project targets adults, employed, unemployed, and unemployed, paying great attention to their training and employment needs, in the high craftsmanship sector, as well as to the needs for grafting and technological development necessary for the growth and enhancement of MSME. The network of companies, workshops and ateliers, national and international, mapped by the Department of Management of Ca' Foscari University of Venice and the ability to carry out upskilling interventions aimed at freelancers and workers, gained by the university spin-off Upskill 4.0, led to a project idea including both training and reskilling initiatives. The applied research work conducted by the University, thanks to the collaboration with the Fondazione di Venezia and Venezia da Vivere, contributes to the goals of revitalizing activities related to craftsmanship in the city of Venice and the Venetian lagoon, islands and estuary.
The project aims to foster business start-ups and the development of new innovative business branches, thanks to the redefinition of the Business Model and by leveraging the potential of the Design Thinking methodology, implemented by the spin-off Upskill 4.0.
During the eighteen-month project implementation period, the business growth path is marked by the participation of national and international companies and entities such as:
- Fondazione Cologni dei Mestieri d'Arte (Milan)
