Shaping Sustainable Innovation

Shaping Sustainable Innovation is an international Summer Program developed in collaboration with Phuket Rajabhat University (Thailand). It is an intensive two-week experience that brings together entrepreneurship, digital innovation, and sustainable tourism across two very different cultural and geographical ecosystems.

The first week takes place at the H-FARM Campus near Venice, where international students work in teams on entrepreneurial ideas related to the future of tourism. Through hands-on workshops, mentorship, and startup acceleration methodologies, participants develop a concrete project while gaining a clear understanding of the main global trends shaping the industry, from digital transformation to smart tourism.

The second week moves to Phuket, Thailand, where the focus broadens through direct immersion in place-based sustainability. Activities inspired by the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, community-based tourism projects, cultural visits, and eco-tourism experiences allow students to observe and understand how innovation, culture, and local communities can coexist responsibly.
