Artificial Intelligence for the Sustainable Growth and Internationalization of SMEs

Starting November 9, 2026 | H-FARM CAMPUS, RONCADE (TREVISO) | 30+ hours of training

Starting November 9, 26 | IN-PERSON

Artificial Intelligence is changing the way businesses—and SMEs in particular—compete, both within and beyond national borders. The difference is made by those who succeed in integrating it into the company’s day-to-day processes: from improving productivity in repetitive tasks to analyzing foreign markets, from monitoring consumption to managing the data needed for growth.

A free program sponsored by SIMEST, designed for entrepreneurs, senior executives, export managers, and department heads at companies—particularly SMEs. Five consecutive days at the H-FARM Campus, with over 30 hours of in-person instruction, reserved for 25 selected companies.

The Bootcamp alternates between classroom sessions, hands-on exercises on live platforms, and group work on real-world cases, with a consistent focus on internationalization and sustainable transition. The program concludes with an applied challenge that results in a market analysis that can be used by the participating company.
