The Fondazione Mondo Digitale and Invitalia have renewed their collaboration with Project Talent Tour. The partnership, which is based on the joint organisation of three hackathons in three Italian universities starting in January, will lead to the challenge at the two-day RomeCup 2020.
“AI & Robotics for Climate Change” is the challenge for 2020. It’s about developing business ideas that exploit the potential of AI and Robotics to contrast climate change, reduce the environmental impact of the economy and raise awareness on the responsibilities of consumers based on the principles of eco-sustainability and inclusion
Palermo will host the first hackathon on January 30 in collaboration with the Consorzio Arca and the University of Palermo. The Palermo Enna Chamber of Commerce is a partner of the initiative.
Eleven teams will participate in the challenge. Their ideas were selected and ranked on the basis of four criteria: coherence with the subject, potential, feasibility and adequacy [see regulations].
