Studio Volpi widens their horizons and invest on talent. Beyond the edge: the research of novelties and support to innovation. Studio Volpi decided to invest on talent, young minds and their ideas. This is how Quarry Up project begins: an incubator of brilliant minds which, crossing their ideas with the excellences of international companies, will create cutting-edge digital projects. A real campus which welcomes ideas and needs, in order to develop and make them tangible, thanks to the multidisciplinary competences of its professionals, infrastructures and technological tools, but most of all which offers an international experience of project development at the highest levels. Studio Volpi, through Quarry Up, will create the premises for entrepreneurs and companies to believe in the strength of ideas, investing on them, with the aim of launching on the market groundbreaking digital projects.

5 questions and answers about our idea of ideas Why should Quarry Up attract ideas and entrepreneurs? Because of the successful background we come from, Studio Volpi. Although we are well-aware that we are not unique and that this industry is very fast-pacing, we do have the necessary competences and experience to ensure and enrich an idea, transforming it into a product or service of great potentialities. The main peculiarity of our initiative is that it's not important to come to us with an already-definite project, but just an idea - or its draft - is enough. It will be our job then to transform it into a feasible product or a service, capable of attracting buyers. Our network extends to an international level, involving multinational companies with an exceptional know-how, which guarantee a brilliant outcome thanks to their massive presence on the market. We offer the project creators a unique opportunity of entering the labour market and - optimistically - establishing themselves as professionals, knowing in practice the dynamics of project management and letting them grow both from a personal and a professional point of view. The digital development is continuously advancing, encompassing almost every aspect of our daily lives. There will be then specific requirements or topics for ideas scouting? We are interested in all digital application areas, of course, but since those are quite vast, we chose to focus on one topic per year, which for this one will be "Digital for Industry", linking to the very actual topic of industry 4.0. Several examples concern digital in support of workers' ergonomics or the creation of products destined to our daily life. Your tagline is "Unbound boundaries": how Quarry Up aims at translating it, in practice? We are mainly interested in supporting out-of-the-box projects, which break the limits of daily barriers (architectural, personal, cultural, professional, geographical, ergonomic, etc.) and create new horizons. We want to be sure to offer new experiences, never tasted before, both destined to their private and work lives. Which do you think will be Quarry Up development in 5 years and how could you influence the market, both domestic and international? Foreseeing the path and legs of Quarry Up from now to 5 years is not an easy task. We'd like to talk then about our desiderata, which means seeing Quarry Up and Studio Volpi collaborating together and even more tightly, in a synergic exchange of ideas, knowledge, motivations and results: a turnover of ideas and resources, launching on the market - domestic and international - new companies and/or products and services. We are looking forward to the official opening of Quarry Up. Can you give us a preview of the inauguration ceremony? Quarry Up is always in progress: we have the opportunity to welcome fresh ideas through the "Jump In" section of our website - a sort of speculative application. However, we count on having one or two ideation sessions per year, where the applicants will have the chance of presenting us their ideas. The first session will presumably be during an institutional event of Studio Volpi, but we don't want to spill the beans, yet.
