SNAP s.r.l. is an innovative startup founded by Francesco Passarella, mechanical engineer in November 2021, after winning the PIN project, launched by Regione Puglia to encourage the growth of business ideas. The revolution that is proposes to implement this startup, is enclosed in the name, SNAP, the snap of the fingers, which evokes the ease with which urban mobility can be rethought and improved. The young team’s goal is to bring Italian engineering from the the deep south, in which it has its roots, to the rest of Europe and no longer conceive pollution, safety, traffic, time and costs as a problem.
