Mission

SUMLAB is a non-profit organization committed to seeding and creating empowerment opportunities for University and High Schools students, the future change makers and promoters of new visions of sustainable development and growth

MANIFESTO

We believe that every place and every environment where each individual is given the opportunity to shine, has the potential to become an innovation laboratory, pioneering and hyper-connected; an ecosystem of experimentation and multi-disciplinary and intergenerational contaminations, a hub of knowledge that collects the stimuli and experience of local and external excellences and places them at the service of growth, in a model that supports and encourages the new generations of students to be key agents of sustainable value creation and social change.
We want to seed and create those opportunities, starting from Sardinia with the aim of defining a scalable and replicable model able to catalyse energies and innovative and entrepreneurial spirits.
