Students
Students will get internships within the corporate labs. VeniSIA will therefore support companies to select the (not only) best master’s students from Ca’ Foscari University for an internship and to integrate them in the corporate labs/start-ups in order to support the sustainability innovation projects.
Donors
Donors are willing to offer financial support to VeniSIA’s social or technology mission without a direct ROI. VeniSIA will therefore involve worldwide donors willing to cooperate for a real change around the world, starting from Venice. Passionate donors explore additional support, like housing and services, and interact with VeniSIA and its promising start-ups along the journey.
