TIM on Tuesday announced that it is set to launch the first Smart Spaces Hackathon in collaboration with Google Cloud and Codemotion, running from 2-5 July.
The Hackathon is a true innovation marathon, involving the entire country's innovation ecosystem, from startuppers to software developers, digital designers, marketing experts and more. Hundreds of people are expected to take part in the event, which aims to design new and intelligent spaces featuringinnovative services that can improve the places where we live, with a special focus on the new scenarios deriving from the Covid-19 emergency.
During the Hackathon, participants will be invited to put themselves to the test by designing new solutions for the home, the office and outdoors, using the latest functionalities offered by Artificial Intelligence, Robotics and the Internet of Things. Everything will be driven by the TIM Digital Business Platform, offering a range of software with easy access for developers and “ready-to-use” functions thanks to Application Programming Interfaces, and the Google Cloud platform of cloud-based computing services.
The initiative is part of the activities of TIM WCAP, the Group's open innovation programme for start-ups and SMEs. Created in 2009, the programme is now increasingly focused on fostering business initiatives that can enrich TIM's digital service offering.
