Giovedì 17 marzo alle 18.30 si svolgerà nella sede di Digital Magics Palermo, in seno alla tappa palermitana di SmArt City Italia, un appuntamento informale per discutere di Smart City da punti di vista differenti. Radici e avanguardia per una Palermo da reinventare nella sua vocazione e nel suo desiderio di sviluppo, elementi che saranno il fil rouge delle storie raccontate dagli speaker che, attraverso una presentazione creativa e non-convenzionale, prenderanno parte all’evento.

L’evento sarà un Happy Hour con la struttura di un Pecha Kucha: si tratta di una presentazione di 6 minuti e 40 secondi veloce e incisiva che riduce e condensa all’essenziale la “storia” che si vuole raccontare. Regole ben precise per limitare la creatività: decidere di mostrare solo 20 immagini e per ognuna di esse parlare 20 secondi.

Non solo il tempo e il numero di foto limitate metteranno in moto la creatività ma – dato che le slide cambiano automaticamente ogni venti secondi – si è costretti a preparare molto bene il tutto o si finirà facilmente fuori sincrono.

Il primo Pecha Kucha si è svolto a Tokyo nel 2003, da quel momento è diventato un format per eventi informali durante i quali le persone si riuniscono e condividono le loro idee e i propri progetti attraverso 20 slide.

L’evento di giovedì 17 marzo è organizzato da PUSH in collaborazione con Energia Media.
Sponsor tecnici: Digital Magics Palermo e Factory Accademia, Tenute Orestiadi.

Ecco gli speaker:

Alvise De Sanctis – Expo in città

Angelica Agnello – Orto Capovolto

Enzo Fiammetta – Fondazione Orestiadi

Morena Fanny Raimondo – MORE

Gandolfo Gabriele David – Dimora OZ

Carmela Dacchille – Edizioni Precarie

Fabio Rizzo – Indigo

La partecipazione è gratuita: sarà sufficiente registrarsi tramite Eventbrite.

 

 

 

Domenico Schillaci, con il progetto trafficO2, è tra i cinque vincitori degli Smart City Innovation Awards.

Si tratta di una conferenza e di una competizione che ha lo scopo di individuare, ispirare e connettere giovani innovatori e imprenditori tecnologici per avere un rapido ed efficiente successo nel settore Smart City. Partner principali dell’iniziativa sono BNL Gruppo BNP Paribas e MIT Enterprise Forum, affiliato al Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

I vincitori hanno la possibilità di presentare i propri progetti ad un pubblico composto ad hoc da investitori, imprenditori, accademici, tecnici e business leaders durante la cerimonia di premiazione che si terrà domani 11 giugno a Milano durante la Wave Exposition.

Gli Smart City Innovation Awards premieranno inoltre il miglior progetto con un viaggio per partecipare alla EmTech – la più importante conferenza globale sulle tecnologie emergenti – che avrà luogo presso il MIT Media Lab, nel cuore del MIT campus a Cambridge, Massachusetts, dal 2 al 4 novembre 2015.

L’evento ospiterà alcuni tra i principali esperti internazionali in smart city e urban mobility tra cui Carlo Ratti (DriveWave di MIT Senseable City Lab), Irene Tinagli (Membro della Camera dei Deputati del Parlamento Italiano), Umberto Malesci (CEO di Fluidmesh Networks) e Antoinette Matthews (Executive Director di MIT Enterprise Forum).

I relatori discuteranno sulle ultime tendenze globali, esperienze e best practices del mondo smart city e urban mobility.

On Saturday June 14, there will be the first “Festival of the Communities for Change”, in Bologna at Palazzo Re Enzo, an event created and organized by the association RENA.

It’s an event, unique of its kind, developed for networking, organizing discussion tables and sharing experiences. It’s an opportunity for all the participants to create value, meeting each other and starting new collaborations. All the main actors of innovation in Italy, have been gathered, showing a huge interest, so that the event is sold out.

There’s a rich program, from 10 am until late in the evening.

150 organizations will attend the festival, including communities, public administrations, enterprises and 15 nationally popular speakers.

PUSH, represented by Domenico Schillaci and Salvatore Di Dio, will take part in the event. The festival is a great opportunity to meet realities who we’re already starting a collaboration with and to find new ones, but it is also an excellent opportunity to be part of the thematic tables dealing with crucial issues for the projects developed by our Association, such as social innovation, OpenData, territory promotion, crowdfunding and governance of sharing communities.

The event can be followed via live streaming or following RENA on Twitter and using the hashtag #RENAfestival created for the event.

After the success of the 2013 edition, this year PUSH was again selected among the two hundred participants to Expo delle Startup in Milan, at Palazzo Lombardia on Thursday 19 and Friday 20 June.

For this occasion we made a video narrating the first year of our activity. You can view it here (and also use it to keep on voting for it or to share it on social networks).

This third edition of the event fits in the larger context of Cross Creativity program, a festival organized by Regione Lombardia in order to promote innovation, culture, and creativity, through a program full of initiatives.

This is s an unmissable date for startuppers and investors, an opportunity to meet, share ideas, and experiences in several fields: advertising, gaming, tourism, culture, desing/architecture, and the digital world.

FI WARE is the platform for the creation of innovative apps and the management of data on large scale, and aims at creating an ecosystem of sustainable innovation with the involvement of developers, entrepreneurs, and sponsors.

This is an important step, especially if we look at the numbers: over 400 projects presented from teams of 23 different nationalities, in several fields (cloud hosting, big data analysis, identity management, internet of things, etc.). 

 Campus Party 2014 will take place in Sao Paulo, Brazil, from 27 January to 2 February. The twenty finalists will be invited to submit their prototype to the technical committee that will eventually proclaim the winners of the three prizes and the two special mentions.

  

The experimentation of trafficO2 has officially started: the private Beta version was issued today, which 42 students of the University of Palermo selected during the workshop “Mobility, behaviors: apps”, will test on their smartphones.

This is the first step of an experimentation that aims to involve the over 60.000 students of the University of Palermo, and subsequently the entire city population.
The tester sample will be gradually extended, as well as the app functions, which will be improved and enhanced based on suggestions by the testers, who will review the app periodically.

The PUSH team is currently working on a second release, expected on December 25th, a Christmas gift in the sign of sustainability.

After three-days of intense work with the students of the Schools of Architecture, Engineering, and Education of the Università degli Studi in Palermo, seven new social innovation projects have been produced.

We would like to thank all the students who have worked with commitment and enthusiasm, and to their tutors who were able to inspire and guide them. Special thanks go also to the speakers that have recounted how the integration between social media, ICT, and social innovation can be of insipiration for the smart citizens of tomorrow. Invaluable collaboration also came from the staff of the Schools involved in the project, which have strongly belived in it. Finally, we want to thanks also the technical partners, which have enriched our program with several interesting initiatives. Last, but not least, thank you PUSH team!
