Description
The University Startup Challenge is an annual entrepreneurship competition held in Milan, organized by student associations from Politecnico di Milano, Bocconi University, Università degli Studi di Milano, Università Cattolica, Università Bicocca, Università LIUC, and Università di Padova. The 2025 edition focuses on "Solutions for a Smart City," inviting students to develop innovative ideas in areas such as infrastructure efficiency, artificial intelligence, IoT, and fintech. We had the opportunity to invite our International students in taking part to the event and also to give a speech about ESN and what we do at the opening conference.
