Codemotion’s story
The idea of Codemotion was born from the love for technology of the two co-founders: Chiara Russo (current CEO) and Mara Marzocchi (Co-founder / Developer Advisor). In 2006 Chiara and Mara organize a tech event in Rome: the JavaDay. In 2011 JavaDay becomes Codemotion, a tech conference open to all technologies and any programming language.
A passion that soon materializes, becoming a startup: in 2013 the startup Codemotion was officially founded.
The strength of Codemotion lies precisely in the direct knowledge of the developers and their needs, in speaking “their language” as well as in the possibility of making quality, highly technical content available to the community constantly updated and shared by the entire network.

From events to the leading platform: Codemotion evolution
With the aim of enabling dialogue, networking and community growth from a qualitative and quantitative point of view, Codemotion was born as an organizer of events, coding challenges, learning activities and conferences for developers designed precisely to offer developers opportunities. of comparison and in-depth analysis on topics related to technologies.
Over the years, Codemotion has evolved: in 2020 it launched its online platform to intensify the relationship with developers and support the community on a daily basis and not only during live events.
In addition to being the reference point for developers, Codemotion has also become a support for companies both to promote their technologies to community members, and to hire developers and train technical teams.
The bridge between companies and developers
Codemotion acts as a natural bridge between developers and companies. The aim is to bring closer the world of devs and the world of companies.
Also, Codemotion wants to support both in the hiring phase, bridging the gap between job supply and demand in the IT world, from the stage of attraction to recruiting.
In Europe, there are 5.8 million developers who can support companies in digitisation, but only 13% are actively looking for work. On the other hand, there are more than 1 million vacancies in the tech sector, also considering that, in the last two years, companies have accelerated digitisation processes following the outbreak of the pandemic.
Despite the gap between supply and demand, it is also difficult for companies to contact IT professionals, with whom traditional attraction and hiring systems are unsuccessful.
Codemotion Talent: Attraction, Hiring and Retention of IT professionals
Codemotion Talent is the platform that creates the perfect match for developers looking for their dream job through their preferred candidate experience, and for companies looking for the perfect candidates for their tech teams.
Developers need involvement, commitment and motivation to change their workplace: they look for a company culture that fits their values and projects of innovation to work on.*
On the other hand, companies need to find the right person in line with their needs, but often they fail to speak the same language of devs, and thus being less attractive as employers.
Talent is the main door to the Codemotion community. Thanks to Talent, companies can promote working opportunities and being well-positioned in the community thanks to branded content plans, events both digital and in presence.
*other needs: remote working, professional growth and trainings, salary transparency.
Codemotion’s commitment to the new generations
Codemotion has always been committed to the new generations and to break down gender stereotypes.
With its credo “Planning the future, together”, Codemotion is committed every day to technological education and to the elimination of gender barriers, creating courses for introducing digital technologies and creating moments of encounter on highly topical issues, such as Diversity & Inclusion.
Reducing the gender gap and bringing young people closer to technology and STEM issues – starting from the experience of the co-founders, Codemotion is constantly working to reduce the gender gap in the technological field. In Italy, as in the rest of Europe, the percentage of female participation in the digital economy is still very low: in the EU only 18% of ICT specialists are women and in Italy the percentage drops to 14.8%.
Yet, according to a survey conducted by Codemotion and Logitech, 56.86% of respondents believe that having more women on tech teams would help the country’s technological development.
Through the community, networking events, workshops and professional opportunities made available, but also and above all through CSR activities with companies, Codemotion supports women and helps them to enter the world of technology to ensure that they are always more protagonists of the digital revolution underway.
The fight against the gender gap is closely linked to the education of children: the dream of training the innovators of tomorrow is shared by numerous companies, including Amazon and IGT, which together with Codemotion give life to training courses and projects dedicated to school students. In this way Codemotion is committed to bringing girls and girls closer to technology, allowing them to evaluate a future in STEM subjects without prejudice.
