BICA joins the UniSMART Community – Foundation of the University of Padua

This membership represents a step in BICA’s development path, focused on innovation, applied research and structured collaboration with the academic world.

UniSMART: Connecting Research and Industry

UniSMART acts as a bridge between the University of Padua and the industrial system, facilitating dialogue between scientific, technological and industrial expertise.
Through open innovation initiatives, applied research projects and technology transfer activities, the foundation supports companies in the development of high value‑added solutions.

Becoming part of this ecosystem allows BICA to engage in a qualified environment for exchange, fostering interaction between academic knowledge and industrial applications.

A Strategic Step for Industrial Innovation

Joining UniSMART will enable BICA to:

• strengthen dialogue with the research community
• engage with advanced scientific and technological expertise
• contribute to the development of concrete, competitive and sustainable industrial solutions

In an economic and technological context that is constantly evolving, structured collaboration between universities and industry represents a strategic lever to address innovation and competitiveness challenges.

Value for the Territory and the Productive System

BICA firmly believes that structured collaboration initiatives such as this one are essential not only for individual companies but also for the growth of the broader industrial ecosystem and the local territory.

Participation in the UniSMART Community is therefore part of a long‑term vision focused on creating real and lasting value, through the integration of technical expertise, scientific research and industrial capability.
