I2D - Industrial Innovation Day is an initiative promoted and supported by all of the main players of “Trentino Innovation System”, including Trentino Sviluppo, University of Trento, Bruno Kessler Foundation, Hub Innovazione Trentino Foundation, Employment Agency of Trento and Confindustria (Industrialists’ Association) Trento.
The free and entirely digital event is designed to offer participants an overall view of the opportunities promoted by Trentino and to favour direct encounters between enterprises aiming at innovation and graduates striving for Master’s degrees in industrial subjects such as Engineering, Physics, Biology and Economics.
I2D: the annual appointment with the best of Trentino’s innovation
The third edition of I2D arriving in Spring of 2022 is one of the recurring initiatives through which the Autonomous Province of Trento relaunches and promotes its services by boosting cooperation between various local entities and centers of excellence.
Following the debut in 2019 between Polo Meccatronica and ProM Facility in Rovereto and an entirely digital edition in 2021 with growing numbers of participants – 64 registrations, 48 enterprises and 80 interviews booked by the students - I2D is poised to return in 2022, heralding great expectations regarding the capacity of generating innovative synergies among its participants.
It’s official: Trentino’s Industrial Innovation Day returns on 27 April 2022 with a new, 100% online edition.
The event will present the tools and opportunities for professional encounters between the world of business and students, with special reference to the PhD in Industrial Innovation, the inter-disciplinary program offered by the University of Trento and FBK and designed to form experts in technological innovation destined to fill in management positions in industrial sectors.
Industrial Innovation Day is a free event open to all of the students and enterprises who will sign up when registration opens. Once again this year the approach is entirely digital, with a first phase of general presentations for everyone followed by 3 parallel sessions focusing on the following vertical themes:
- Information Technology and Communications - ICT
- Smart Manufacturing
- Biotechnology, Physics, Energy
In these 3 virtual rooms, where there also will be a presentation of Trentino research centres, the enterprises will be offered the opportunity to deliver a pitch about their own Research & Development activities.
I2D then will close with the one-to-one meetings between enterprises and students, that can be freely booked via the platform chosen for the event. In these meetings it will be possible to exchange further information regarding interests, skills and ideas for development with a view to future collaboration.
