DAC Campania

DAC Campania, the Distretto Tecnologico Aerospaziale della Campania, is the aerospace technology district of the Campania region in Italy. It is run as a company, DAC Scarl. Its legal seat is in Naples, and it has operating offices in Caserta and at the Leonardo Aerotech Campus in Pomigliano d'Arco.

The district links businesses, institutions, universities and research centres in the aerospace sector. It promotes partnerships between these groups. The aim is to support new knowledge and technology, and to help spread and transfer it.

The district names three main areas of work. The first is internationalisation, which covers care for collaborations and the exchange of know-how across borders. The second is professional training, which it treats as a key part of its strategic programme. The third is technology transfer and communication.

DAC Campania takes part in European, national and regional projects. One example is EUROSME, a European project in which aerospace small businesses are reported to be creating about 50 million euro of new business chances. The district also took part in the Local Innovation Hubs Inventory of the EACP-EUROSME project. Another entry is a regional project called Sfide e Innovazione, linked to Expo 2020 Dubai.

The district reports several memberships. It is a founding member of the National Aerospace Technology Cluster and a member of the Fondazione Aerospazio Campania Academy. It also belongs to Unione Industriali Napoli, Confindustria Caserta and Confindustria Benevento. It lists ManpowerGroup, Adecco Italia and Randstad Italia as partners.

Its news pages carry stories about regional aerospace companies, including one on a Tecnam aircraft platform made for vaccine transport. They also include a conference on defence skills and dual use technologies held at the Air Force Specialists Schools in Caserta.
