H-FARM College Lumina Summer School returns for its fourth edition, confirming itself as an intensive experience focused on AI and entrepreneurship.
For one week, Lumina students, guided by experts from the Startup Center and H-FARM AI, will take part in a journey that combines education, experimentation, artificial intelligence, and the development of new ventures. This year, the Summer School will also welcome a group of students from Lynn University (Florida, USA), opening the program to an international dimension and strengthening the exchange between different backgrounds and perspectives.
Among the elements that make the Lumina Summer School unique is the collaboration with leading partner companies, four for this fourth edition: Caffeina, KPMG, Protiviti, and Cassa Depositi e Prestiti.
Corporate voices will enrich the program by sharing insights and real case studies, offering students the opportunity to engage with the dynamics transforming the worlds of business, consulting, and innovation.
Each day is structured around a dual track: mornings dedicated to AI and new ways of thinking and working that are reshaping products and markets, and afternoons focused on entrepreneurship and startup development, from concept ideation through to the final pitch presentation.
Lumina Summer School offers a hands-on, immersive experience to understand how artificial intelligence is transforming the process of creating and developing new entrepreneurial ventures. Through interaction with professionals and companies, students gain practical skills to turn innovative ideas into concrete projects, from research and validation to the final presentation.
The H-FARM Campus is much more than a physical space: it is an ecosystem designed to inspire students, professionals, and entrepreneurs who want to engage with the future. Located just a few kilometers from the Venice lagoon, it represents an open and dynamic environment where education, technology, and creativity come together every day.
During the program, students experience a context designed to foster innovative thinking and an entrepreneurial mindset. The Campus hosts dedicated education buildings, event halls, a conference hall, a library, and collaborative workspaces where team projects are developed, mentors are engaged, and new business ideas take shape.
During breaks, the Campus offers large green areas and indoor facilities designed for relaxation and sports activities, with disciplines ranging from padel to rugby, skateboarding to beach volleyball. A young, active, and international community accompanies the entire bootcamp experience.
The H-FARM Campus is also a model of sustainability: it is 85% self-sufficient in its energy needs and promotes green mobility through electric vehicles, bike sharing, and charging stations. Innovation and environmental awareness coexist in a place designed for the future.
Located in the magical Venice lagoon, Marina is a true oasis just a few minutes from the H-FARM Campus (2 km away).
Two recently renovated barchesse—overlooking what was once the main small port connecting Portegrandi and Venice—now host fully equipped apartments with all modern comforts.
Here, students can experience university life in a dynamic and inspiring environment, where sharing extends beyond study to passions, interests, and everyday experiences.
