On 19 March in Bologna, EcoDigital Innovation Hackathon will take place — an initiative organised by Centoform, within the framework of EXCEED – Excellence in Green and Digital Manufacturing, the European network dedicated to innovation in sustainable and digital manufacturing.
More than a competition, the EcoDigital Innovation Hackathon is an open innovation instrument: a collaborative space where young talents, companies and institutional partners work together on concrete challenges related to sustainability, emerging technologies and ESG impact.
The event also marks the official launch of Centoform’s new Bologna headquarters, located within Opificio Golinelli. While the site is already operational, the hackathon represents its first public and shared moment — an opportunity to clearly affirm Centoform’s presence within one of Italy’s most dynamic ecosystems for culture, education, research and innovation. From this strategic location, Centoform strengthens its territorial role and opens a new chapter of dialogue with companies, young talents and innovation partners.
📍 Opificio Golinelli is one of Italy’s leading ecosystems dedicated to knowledge, innovation and entrepreneurship — the ideal context for transforming ideas into concrete solutions.
