Completed the first edition 2021-2022
Challenge4Sud: a new challenge of ideas for the engineering students of the Universities of Southern Italy
Would you like to go far?Start from your very homeland.
For a future in the South of Italy, built on the talent of its young people
Webuild believes in young talent, as a driving force for the socio-economic development of Southern Italy and the whole of the country. Therefore, the Group launched Challenge4Sud: a new initiative dedicated to young students from Southern Italian Universities, to promote research and technological innovation in infrastructures, and prepare the new generations for entering the work arena.
Challenge4Sud is aimed at all students of the Bachelor's and Master's degree courses in Engineering at the Universities of Abruzzo, Basilicata, Campania, Molise, Puglia, Sardinia and Sicily, who will compete in a real challenge to develop and propose the most innovative sustainable ideas, in the digital technological field to support infrastructures.
The initiative is the concrete symbol of the collaboration between the academic and business world: Challenge4Sud - promoted by the University of Salento and by "Stati Generali del Mondo del Lavoro", with the participation of Webuild and PwC - offers students the opportunity to get to know the universe of companies, interact with the engineers who work in Webuild, participating in moments of collaboration and value co-creation.
