Emerging technologies represent the main driver for rapid innovation today. This is why the Casa delle Tecnologie Emergenti (CTE) in Genoa has developed a targeted training plan, which aims to stimulate the demand for innovation in the Liguria region. These training programmes will be coordinated by Start 4.0, which will leverage its experience to ensure the initiative’s maximum effectiveness. By accessing the CTE Open Innovation platform, it will be possible to view all the training modules prepared by the partnership, available remotely and divided into modules and sub-modules according to the topics of interest. The training sessions will be divided into 3 macro-groups: SMEs and Startups, Students and PhD Researchers, Citizens and Cultural Operators.

Training for SMEs and Startups

Training for SMEs, startups, and spin-offs is essential to enhance skills on innovative topics and stimulate innovation processes in strategic and complementary sectors. Through OPEN CALL-TRAINING, companies will be selected to access specialist training sessions. The training modules will be developed in collaboration with research bodies, universities, and partner companies of the project, covering a wide range of topics, including:

• 5G and 6G
• Internet Exchange
• 3D Modelling/Digital Twin
• Augmented, Virtual and Immersive Reality
• Video Analytics
• Smart Robotic Systems and Artificial Intelligence

The goal is to attract new talent and create a pool of human resources available for companies involved in business acceleration and technology transfer paths. Activities will include:

• Exploring application cases
• Creating Contamination Labs focused on Challenges launched by selected companies

These will be managed directly by the University of Genoa. Want to know more? Enter the Open Innovation Platform and send your request.

Training for Citizens, Public Administration, and Cultural Operators
