VSF participated in the 2025 edition of “Imprenditori #GenNext,” an initiative promoted by UniCredit and the Padua Chamber of Commerce as part of the Talent Week 2025 / Next Generation Festival, held April 9-11 at the Padua Fairs.
The event was designed to bring university students closer to the world of entrepreneurship, offering tools, skills and opportunities to develop high-potential projects and start-ups. The initiative involved eight universities in the Northeast, including Iuav University of Venice and Ca’ Foscari University of Venice, in a training course based on workshops, meetings with experts and a hackathon dedicated to the development of soft skills.
Within this context, VSF actively participated through project managers Anna D’Este and Luca Farina, contributing to the hackathon with a challenge dedicated to the theme “Energy Innovation and Cultural Heritage Protection.” The goal was to stimulate project ideas capable of combining the integration of renewable energy with the preservation of the historical and cultural value of the territory, in compliance with current regulations.
VSF’s participation as a mentor and judge provided an opportunity to dialogue with new generations on real challenges related to sustainable development, energy transition, and responsible enhancement of metropolitan heritage.
