Innovation, the Campus where you learn digital from an early age

07 September 2020In the presence of institutions, stakeholders and partners, the ribbon of the new H-Farm Campus was cut, a major project to expand the Italian innovation hub at European level.

The new Campus is ready to welcome entrepreneurs, professionals and, above all, more than a thousand students, just one day before the bell for the 2020-21 school year.

Starting from school, also from the one that prepares for the world of the future, where young people will be at home.

The H-Farm Campus inaugurated in the province of Treviso aims to be an example of what can be done, concretely, to bring together innovation, education and investments.

And to place students, from an early age, in a digital context that pushes them towards the best job opportunities.

"In recent years we have witnessed how technological acceleration has forced the rewriting of many business models and has projected us towards new services, products and lifestyles, also having a significant impact on the world of training with a progressive increase in contents related to digital, capable of satisfying not only the youngest, but all those who feel the need to update and train by becoming more and more familiar with the new tools in continuous evolution ”, declared Riccardo Donadon, founder of H-Farm.

Over 100 million euros have been invested in the infrastructure.

40% by Cassa Depositi Prestiti and 60% by Cattolica Assicurazioni, which also owns the agricultural land.

At the cutting of the ribbon, President Paolo Bedoni: “It is a great work resulting from the virtuous convergence between people, institutions and businesses and between public and private.

Cattolica immediately believed in the project with the commitment to fill the concepts of territory and sustainability with content, creating a bridge between tradition and innovation.

We have seized the enthusiasm of being able to build an opportunity for the future of our young people and we have all worked together, against all resistance, even against Covid to convey a positive message to the whole country.

Veneto has worked to give an opportunity and not to ask for something, to offer development opportunities.

We are here to inaugurate a school, the most innovative of schools.

And it should not be forgotten that the future of a community grows around a school ”.

The total area of ​​the Campus covers 51 hectares, more than half of which is green and accessible to the public.

There will be three thousand students, starting from three years of age.

The only structure still being completed is the congress hall designed by the famous architect Robert Rogers.

A complex project, which provides for the total coverage of the center by vegetation, thus becoming invisible and integrated into the landscape. 

Even the technology that is everywhere but not seen is present in all its forms: students, from an early age, learn to interact with digital, guided by 640 professors.

You can also learn with virtual reality glasses, while everything is ready to connect the Campus to 5G, the fifth generation mobile network. 

The model could be replicated throughout Italy, even in other sectors, says Donadon.

Even if this is an unprecedented reality in our country, the fact remains that the huge investments in training in the field of technology and innovation are essentially made by private entities, making access to excellence an uphill path.
