SPEGEA's history
SPEGEA was founded in Bari in 1981 at the initiative of the local Industrial Association, during a period of strong momentum toward economic modernization in southern Italy. From its founding, the school set out to train young Puglia high school and university graduates, giving them highly competitive professional skills to ease their entry into the labor market, while also supporting local small and medium-sized businesses in their growth and public administrations in their organizational renewal.
In 1991 SPEGEA became an ordinary member of ASFOR, the Italian Association for Management Education, consolidating its position within Italy's national system of accredited business schools. Over the decades the school has developed a teaching model based on alternating classroom training with corporate internship periods, maintaining a strong tie to the business fabric of Bari and Puglia. More recently SPEGEA became part of the Exprivia group, a major Puglia technology company, which took over control while continuing to guarantee its original identity and educational mission.
