ICAROUnimore 2nd Edition arrives for the students of the University of Modena and Reggio Emilia: a path of innovation that trains the students to the entrepreneurial spirit and puts them in comparison with some true challenges.
The idea was born one year ago because of Unimore and Fondazione Goninelli, with the support of Fondazione Cassa di Risparmio di Modena, in order to sustain young people wishing to appropriate the business culture.
ICAROUnimore’s partners are Fondazione Cassa di Risparmio di Reggio Emilia “Pietro Manodori”, the Chamber of Commerce of Reggio Emilia and Unindustria Reggio Emilia. The selected students will work in 8 multidisciplinary “five talents” teams to respond, with innovative projects, to the challenges given by the 4 companies involved in the project.
The companies participating in the program are the best expression of the economic system’s dynamism of Modena and Reggio Emilia. Companies are protagonists of the path with the students and they share their education, approach, and objectives.
