Gazzetta di Modena, September 21, 2024
The third edition of the Supply Chain Challenge, the national supply chain championship organized by the Modena-based company Makeitalia and held last Tuesday, saw the participation of 21 Italian universities and approximately 1,200 master’s students in Management Engineering.
The final event concluded a qualification period that ran from November to June 2024.
This competition aimed to test participants in managing a ‘real’ supply chain, using a training and simulation tool developed by Makeitalia, the Supply Chain Game. From the challenge among the 72 finalist students, the winner of this third edition of the event was the University of Brescia team, composed of Aurora Saleri and Davide Salandini.
On the podium, in second place, was the University of Modena and Reggio Emilia, with students Matteo Pio Pienabarca, Davide Dall’Olio, and Matteo Musella.
The third place was awarded to the Politecnico di Torino team, composed of Francesco Zenobi, Sara Nizzo, Antonino Allegro, and Emanuela Nasello.
For the students, the final was also a unique opportunity to engage with the professional world, thanks to the presence of international companies, partners of the initiative, such as Ferrari, Philip Morris, and DSV. These companies shared the principles on which the Supply Chain Challenge is based—merit, excellence, innovation—and actively participated in the event with interactive and practical workshops.
