IMPACT PUGLIA

The brief

Impact Puglia brought together students from H-FARM College and the University of Foggia to tackle 11 real challenges set by companies operating across various sectors in the Puglia region. The initiative put students face to face with concrete business needs, with the aim of developing innovative solutions in agrifood, energy, manufacturing and biotechnology.

The projects

Working in multidisciplinary teams, students addressed the companies’ needs within three thematic areas: Marketing & Communication, Business Strategy and Artificial Intelligence. The winning projects included Sigma Smart Wind, a predictive maintenance platform for photovoltaic systems; Mercati di Città, an AI agent for optimising the creation of promotional content; and Γenia, an AI-powered tool to support the selection of genetic tests and improve diagnostic processes.

Highlights

Three teams were awarded for the quality and potential impact of their solutions, earning the opportunity to take part in international learning experiences and stays at partner institutions.
