OUR STORY
Education, reimagined.
The most powerful education happens inside the real industry, we give students that exposure.
WHO WE ARE
Made in Italy. Built for the world.
Founded in 2023 in Milan, Sportech Academy is one of Italy’s leading international summer schools, offering immersive, career-focused experiences for students aged 8 to 18. Across campuses in Milan, Parma, Rome, and now Indianapolis, students dive into the fields that define Italy: engineering and motorsport, design and fashion, medicine and life sciences, business, and elite sport. Today Sportech Academy is one of the best-known summer schools in Italy for international students aged 8 to 18 and for university students.
Partnering with world-class institutions like Dallara, UniSR, La Sapienza, AC Milan, and more, we make every program hands-on and real. With students from 70+ countries and all classes in English, it’s a truly international environment to build skills, confidence, and lifelong friendships.

Sportech Academy
“When I was fifteen, a summer program in Boston changed the way I saw my future, trusted with real responsibility, surrounded by people from across the world. I founded Sportech Academy to give that same spark to the next generation: the chance to step inside Italy’s most extraordinary companies, universities and institutions, and to discover not just what they want to study, but who they want to become. We don’t explain a profession; we let students live it. Everything we do rests on three words: future, excellence, and responsibility. We can’t wait to welcome you to Italy.”

OUR VALUES
What we believe, and how it shows up in the programs
Learning by doing
Real experience beats passive learning. Every program puts students inside the company or the university where the work actually happens, on a project of their own.
An international community
Students come from more than 70 countries and every class is taught in English. The cohort itself is part of the education.
Made in Italy
Milan, the Motor Valley, Rome, Venice and Indianapolis. We use the places where these industries were built as the classroom.
Safety first
24-hour supervision, house parents living on site with the students and insurance included for every participant. Never optional.
Serious academics
Programs built with the institutions that define each field: Sapienza, Universita Vita-Salute San Raffaele, Dallara, AC Milan, IBEM. More than 30 hours of teaching per program.
Something to show for it
Every student leaves with a finished project, a certificate of completion and a network that spans continents.
