The design challenges are all related to product innovations, with a strong focus on the values of environmental and social sustainability; process innovation with new production models such as upcycling or go-to-market strategies; and needs for improved product communication and promotion, through the creation of new sites, virtual tours and apps.
The story of the Upskill 4.0 project will find space in the coming months on the digital newsbrand tuttoits.it with useful information for guidance, jobs, families and businesses to learn everything they need to know about the world of ITS, from every angle.
