Even more significant is the <strong data-start=\"599\" data-end=\"646\">CAGR (compound annual growth rate) of 11.6%<\/strong> over the 2015\u20132025 period, highlighting a <strong data-start=\"689\" data-end=\"735\">structured, long-term development strategy<\/strong> not driven by short-term dynamics.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"774\" data-end=\"1098\">These results are part of a broader path of <strong data-start=\"818\" data-end=\"851\">investment and transformation<\/strong>, including the recent expansion of the campus, designed by <strong data-start=\"911\" data-end=\"930\">Mario Cucinella<\/strong> and inaugurated in 2024, alongside the historic <strong data-start=\"979\" data-end=\"1002\">Villa Guastavillani<\/strong>. An initiative that further enhances a <strong data-start=\"1042\" data-end=\"1095\">unique environment where heritage and future meet<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1100\" data-end=\"1454\">A key driver of growth is the <strong data-start=\"1130\" data-end=\"1179\">strong connection with the business community<\/strong>: Corporate Partnerships now account for around <strong data-start=\"1227\" data-end=\"1248\">50% of activities<\/strong>.

In 2025, over <strong data-start=\"1998\" data-end=\"2020\">3,500 participants<\/strong> joined the School\u2019s programs, with a <strong data-start=\"2058\" data-end=\"2083\">placement rate of
