Description:

A new edition of MEMEnginy is coming! After ten editions, MEMEnginy has become something more than an academic and technological fair.

As time goes by, MEMEnginy has transformed into a window to the innovation in the technology and engineering fields, where the student body has the opportunity to get to know top companies in their fields, train in workshops and activities and make a first step in their professional career.

In this tenth edition, the program is structured around three parts: conferences, speed dating and networking sessions. At the thematic level, the main areas will be centered around the Internet of Things (IoT), Green Tech, Artificial Intelligence, data management, digital transformation and cybersecurity.
