The 9th edition of the RomeCup introduced students from all over Italy to the success stories of under-thirties who transformed robotic solutions into innovative start-ups.
“We try to prove that Robotics leads to enterprise,” explains Mirta Michilli, Director General of the Fondazione Mondo Digitale. “Robotics is a fundamental axis for the creation of an accelerator that will allow our young men and women to overcome the current crisis. And schools are demonstrating a contagious enthusiasm. They have presented over 60 prototypes created by young students, most of whom are less than eighteen years old.”
The RomeCup was also part of the “Get Online Week 2015” and “Grand Coalition for Digital Jobs” European campaigns.
Here is the video that narrates the 2015 edition in just over 4 minutes:
