Research and Development, Sustainability and Open Innovation

Students from Vicenza University meet Fiam

Building relationships with Universities, research centers and other institutions that are open to innovation in industry is fundamental for continuous updating and for having an ever watchful and open glance towards the future.

At Fiam, we have always believed that the proximity of the business world to universities and their students is an aspect of primary importance: both to ensure attractiveness and a qualified employment future for companies, and to ensure that young people have a post-graduate work placement consistent with their course of study, able to provide them with satisfactory professional growth.

This is why we decided to join the orientation initiative “Incontriamo le imprese” - "Let's Meet the Companies" - promoted by Confindustria Vicenza, in collaboration with the Vicenza University Studies Foundation and VUH - Vicenza Univr Hub of the University of Verona.

The event, addressed to students of Engineering, Economics and SIA from the Vicenza branch, was part of a series of four company visits with the aim of providing firsthand knowledge of the province's manufacturing realities, with the opportunity to provide useful information to the students and support them in orientation for their future work choices.

The opportunity for Fiam and the young students was during a meeting on the morning of Thursday, November 17, during which they were able to learn more about Research and Development with Nicola Bacchetta, Sales Director, and Michele Rizzato, Operations Director.

At this open-door time, young people were able to see live how ideas are born every day and how innovative solutions that improve companies' productivity come to life.

The topics of product sustainability were developed during the meeting, exploring how our solutions are really designed from these guidelines and Open Innovation as an indispensable way to make innovation increasingly open and collaborative.
