About 50 applications were collected through a specific “Call for proposals” that was closed on 31 October.
A Panel composed by representatives of Private sponsoring companies (Barilla Group, SPRING, Torino Wireless and Seeds & Chips) evaluated the innovative ideas and selected 30 applications to participate in the Hackathon event.
