A vision born in Sicily.
Free Mind Foundry was born from the belief that Sicily could be home to a workplace with a truly international outlook. A vision bringing together technology, architecture, wellbeing and entrepreneurial ambition.
Since 2017, a place to look beyond.
Founded by Simone Massaro in Acireale in 2017, Free Mind Foundry was conceived as a campus bringing together businesses, technology and outstanding work environments. A project that has evolved over time while keeping people and their working experience at its heart.
The journey. The discovery. The return.
The Odyssey runs through the identity of the campus: in its room names, artworks and architectural details. The journey represents curiosity, discovery reflects ambition, and returning home means bringing experience, knowledge and new opportunities back to Sicily.
