Light Hackers

8 start-ups from all over Italy and numerous innovative projects were able to identify with our brand, vision and history through the application of new technologies and solutions in a wide range of spheres (from IoT to machine-learning and from blockchain to virtual and augmented reality, robotics and advanced sensor technology). Organised in collaboration with EY, Light Hackers was the Italian lighting sector’s first ever hackathon.
 
“The selected excellencies challenged each other to further innovate iGuzzini's offer and support the company in the progressive improvement of customer experience. The crucial element was contamination: this event was a demonstration that collaboration among realities allow to achieve brilliant and implementable solutions in the short term by bringing together the genius of different extractions. Now the challenge is to move forward and carry on along this important innovative path.”

Mash3DFactory triumphs. The Roman start-up has created a project that has digitalized The Light Experience in the web environment in order to apply its various light solutions to 3D environments with an even more effective and immersive impact.

“Innovation is a founding element of our company that has always believed and invested in young talent. Over forty years have gone by since we first created the lighting sector in Italy and in that time, we have never stopped conducting research and looking to the future. The Light Hackers initiative, which introduced the concept of Open Innovation in a Hackathon for the first time in our sector, is part of a wider programme aimed at creating continuous innovation and stimulating technological progress in the lighting sector.”
