Officina Mille Miglia

1000 Miglia S.r.l. creates an oppurtunity for youg talented person.

1000 Miglia Srl, the company that organizes the Mille Miglia, has created a competition for young talents, for the creation of an entrepreneurial project in the automotive sector.

The proposal judged as most brilliant and innovative will receive a prize of € 50,000 in order to ease the setup of a new activity, based in Italy.

The Mille Miglia, from its inception until 1957, was not only a road race, but an exceptional lab which allowed the motor industry to innovate, test and refine automotive technologies.

As and before the current Formula One circus, the Red Arrow was a real test bench where engineers used to compete researching and developing innovative technologies: a workshop for ideas.

The competitive spirit was driving the engineers’ ingenuity, pushing them in their search for more efficient engines and ever more performing chassis; as the research allowed the development of new materials, making the racing cars lighter yet more rigid.

The ambitious goal has always been this: to transform an innovative idea into a practical technologic solution.

Mille Miglia is part of the Italian heirloom and culture, and has given a unique contribution to automotive history.

Today 1000 Miglia S.r.l., the company tasked with the organization of the re-enactment of “the most beautiful race in the world”, has decided to renew its tradition of innovation, promoting a few success stories able to contribute to the success of the Italian automotive industry.

“Officina Mille Miglia – OMM”, a division of 1000 Miglia S.r.l. stems from this idea. This venture wants to remind us -not only with its name- the “Superba”: the Vintage sports car produced in Brescia by O.M., Officine Meccaniche, winner of the first Mille Miglia in 1927.

1000 Miglia S.r.l. therefore launched a public announcement of competition for Italian and international young talents, with the aim of creating a real “engine of ideas”, investing in an entrepreneurial project in the automotive sector, with a budget of 50.000 Euro for the chosen proposal.

This investment is aimed to help the start and development of a new company, based in Italy, supporting its start-up phase.

The winner idea -about a project, product or service- will be examined and chosen by a jury of experts as the most innovative, brilliant and with the best potential for a real entrepreneurial development.

The “Officina Mille Miglia” competition will be run in two different phases. In the first, participants will send their technic project and explanations before June 30th 2014; while in the second phase the chosen finalists will have more time, until October 20^th, to send the Business Plan and the refined project. The winner will be announced before the end of the year.

The “silver medal” will enjoy the possibility of living a very useful working experience, allowing her to study the structure and dynamics of some leader companies, through a stage in one of the organizations supporting Officina Mille Miglia or in 1000 Miglia S.r.l.
