Event is divided into two segments:
1. Industry Day - Insights, Impact, Innovation
Discover the riches hidden in five years of software collaboration. We will spotlight insights and best practices from hundreds of real-world projects developed through the UnICo scheme, in partnership with a diverse range of industry collaborators.
Expect:
- A showcase of software solutions
- Lessons learned from long term university-industry partnerships
- Valuable talks from our industry partners on what makes student integration a success
- Whether you're here to scout talent, build partnerships, or gain inspiration, this segment offers a goldmine of knowledge exchange and connection.
2. Student Poster Session — Talent on Display
Right after the Industry Day segment, we open the vault to the next generation of tech talent.
Our 2025 Software Engineering students will present the software systems they’ve built in collaboration with industry partners. This interactive poster session offers you the chance to:
- Explore innovative projects in AI, web, cloud, and more
- Engage directly with students about their development process and outcomes
- Identify potential hires, collaborators, or fresh ideas
It’s not just a showcase, it’s a celebration of how far students can go when industry and academia work together.
