Seizing Opportunities of Digital Innovation

Digital transformation has accelerated over time. In order to reduce the digital divide, digitization must be accompanied by programs aimed at offering the appropriate set of skills to be able to seize opportunities of new technological trends.

Samsung Innovation Campus is a global educational program that equips students with future-proof skills. In Italy, Samsung has worked collaboratively with six universities to host Samsung Innovation Campus. The aim of the program is to offer students advanced digital skills and leverage new technology trends including Artificial Intelligence, Big Data, Cybersecurity, and the Internet of Things.

Coming together to offer more

Samsung Innovation Campus consists of courses that integrate with pre-existing university courses, as well as traditional theoretical lessons. Students also develop a group project for a more immersive learning experience and familiarize themselves with the world of work.

Anastasia Buda, Corporate Citizenship & Internal Communication Manager of Samsung Electronics Italy, stated that digital innovation is not just a question of implementing new technologies, but training human resources with the right skills. “With Samsung Innovation Campus, we want to be alongside universities and teachers and make a contribution to reducing the skill gap, supporting students in their training path through the acquisition of new skills so that they can be promoters of positive change.”

Opening new opportunities in the digital environment

Samsung’s collaboration with the universities allowed for the availability of experience and skills of its engineers to support the professors in helping students acquire advanced digital skills, while also enhancing soft skills including project management and problem-solving. The course will train the students to become professionals equipped with the appropriate skills in facing future challenges.
