Lanificio Digitale · The Capability Factory · Naples
Naples needs more innovation, collaboration, skills, culture, enterprise
In the Ex Lanificio Borbonico we help companies and startups turn ideas and real problems into new capabilities, with a platform, expertise and applied learning.
Why meet us
Ideas are not the problem. Making them last is.
AI makes building easier. Making what you build last takes more organization.
- 01
Projects that start from scratch
When an initiative ends, the next one starts almost from the beginning.
- 02
Knowledge held by a few people
Decisions and know-how are hard to find again and to pass on.
- 03
AI in separate experiments
Tools tried in isolation that never reach everyday work.
The vision · Davide Bussetti, Founder and CEO
Innovation that becomes a lasting asset for the region.
Lanificio Digitale was created to connect technology, places, learning and networks: four elements that help companies and talent build new opportunities together.
Our goal is to leave something that lasts: skills, shared knowledge and the capability to face new challenges. This vision gave rise to Capability Engineering, an open reflection on how to turn innovation into lasting growth for companies and the region.
How we work
From a need to a capability that stays.
We start from a concrete goal: a service to launch, a process to improve, a company to start. We build it with your team until it becomes part of everyday work.

A place that gives back to its city.
The Lanificio was born to put experience, skills and relationships at the service of companies, talent and research. With Happy Building, Simona Zamparelli’s concept, we also work on the quality of places: art, encounters and culture are part of the work.
