FROM 2007 TO NOW
Our mission is to nurture the ESCP Europe community we will be proudly part of for our entire life by the mean of unconventional moments to share in a beautiful setting.
Regatta was founded in 2007 by Flavio Nappi, a Master in Management student. The first three editions took place in Capri and then the Regatta moved to Ischia. The event was also held in Punta Ala and Palermo.
For the 12th Edition, Regatta is happy to take place in its most prestigious location so far: Porto Rotondo. Since the beginning, our values has been focused on offering participants an occasion to meet, strengthen their network, have fun and why not, find jobs. Prestigious sponsors participate every year to attract the potential students.
Twelve years have gone by, now the society is carried on by 24 students scattered across the ESCP Europe campuses and sharing the same vision and desire to nurture the sense of community that the event fosters.

SUSTAINABILITY
We strive to limit the environmental impact such a big event may lead to by activating different features:
- we will organize a lottery with our Charity Partner – ilmareintasca (“sea in the pocket”) who is funding “Thales”. This is an ambitious initiative to sensitize and help reduce the marine environment plastic pollution. You will learn more during the check-in procedure
- we confirmed our Green Partner – Treedom, who will absorb a sensible amount of CO2 on behalf of Regatta participants
- we will be counting the number of plastic bottles provided to each boat and award the most sustainable crew returning the highest number of empty bottles to the Regatta Village
- all the logo cups given out to you during aperitif and dinner will require a deposit to avoid plastic cups to fall into the sea and pollute irreversibly the marine environment
