Emanuele Marino, Saverio Asciutto and Maurizio Marrara were present at the Calabrian pitch tour organised by Women in Technology, a project promoted by the Costa Crociere Foundation. They are three professionals from the Fab Lab Reggio Calabria who volunteered to help the competing teams to “perfect their presentation for the jury and identify the strengths and weaknesses of their proposals.”

On the site of the digital manufacturing lab, they describe how they were “pleasantly surprised by the smart and helpful ideas conceived by the young women to improve travel” [see news: Women Technology Pitch Tour].

Thanks to the Reggio Calabria Fab Lab!
