It ended today, inside the premises of the hub Venture e LUISS EnLabs., on the third floor of via Marsala 29h, in Rome, the presentation of “F track“, a space dedicated to students, entrepreneurs, companies, developers and digital enthusiasts who want to grow their skills in this sector. Inside the structure, incorporated in the building of the Stazione Termini, there are no technical or administrative offices that concern the development or management of the social network, but large classrooms, desks and technological equipment for training.
At the moment, Facebook has inaugurated a space of 180 square meters which will be used for the organization of the first events, but during 2019 the surface will cover approximately 900 square meters, all dedicated to activities such as training, workshops and more events always on the theme of digital skills . What led the Californian giant to make an investment of this kind in Rome was the agreement with LVenture Group, a holding company listed on the Borsa Italiana electronic stock market that operates in the Venture Capital sector. The union of intents therefore matured within one of the main startup accelerators in Italy: LUISS EnLabs, emanation of the prestigious Capitoline university.

According to estimates, by the end of 2019, there will be 97 people in Italy who will have left the track F experience and who will pass from an almost total fasting digital culture, communication e social media to a level of competence that is no longer negligible. More generally, the mission is to bring this number to one million by 2020 throughout the European Union by making use of the other two similar centers in Spain and Poland.
It should be emphasized that all the planned activities are free. After the inauguration, Binario F will be open from Monday to Friday by 9: 00 18 to: 00. In some cases and on the occasion of special events, the premises will remain open on weekends and beyond normal hours. Being a shared space, the activities will be divided into three main categories: initiatives organized directly by Facebook, involving experts coming directly from the company and its family of applications such as Whatsapp, Instagram e Oculus; initiatives organized in collaboration with Italian partners; initiatives organized directly by the community, i.e. anyone will be able to use the spaces of "Binario F" to organize activities and programs related to digital issues.
The site of F track an ad hoc section already exists and will soon be available in which to submit a request to organize an activity linked to digital skills. Until March 2019, the space available will be for up to 36 people with a screen for projecting content, a microphone, wi-fi and laptops for speakers (but you can bring your own).
