MECSPE Sustainability Pathway

The EcoFriendly Path evolves into the Sustainability Path, an initiative aimed at giving visibility and rewarding exhibitors who have already embarked on a sustainability path.

Training Square 5.0

From the collaboration between MECSPE and FONDAZIONE ITS A. CUCCOVILLO is born Training Square 4.0, a space where ITS and Partner companies talk about their collaboration and the opportunities for the Territory. The purpose of this area is to make more evident the importance of the link between Company and Education, through the active contribution of the students, the real protagonists.
Today, it is crucial for companies to be able to take advantage from resources already equipped with high innovative technical skills, such as ITS students.
The Square consists of a Speech Area, with a rich calendar of speeches, and a Demonstration Area where company partners will present their solutions and products, again through the involvement of students who have had the opportunity to use them.
