We are the Main Sponsor of Motor Valley Fest, the event that celebrates the perfect union between passion for motors, innovation and sustainability, culture, and the identity of the territory. A major opportunity to shine the spotlight on the automotive sector, one of the leaders in “Made in Italy” excellence; a sector whose strengths and high potential UniCredit both knows and recognizes, and for which it offers services and solutions to facilitate the development of the entire production chain.
As a banking group, UniCredit is invested in the potential of this sector: we are co-investors in the Motor Valley Accelerator, the first Italian accelerator dedicated to the automotive sector born right in the Motor Valley itself. The accelerator seeks startups established in Italy, or wishing to open a legal entity in Italy, to which it offers an investment in services and liquidity. Visit the site
In 2021, the first entities benefiting from the program were identified, and 2022 saw the launch of the second edition in which the program aims to enhance and support pioneers of the future of mobility with a focus on electric propulsion and sustainability, connectivity and autonomous driving. The launch event in Modena with selected startups will be the first opportunity to present these new projects to partner companies.
Immersive virtual reality
During the weekend of May 13 and 14, at the UniCredit booth in Piazza Grande you will be able to enjoy a unique and immersive experience through a journey in virtual reality. Entering the metaverse will be easy and incredibly realistic: wearing special visors you will be able to explore with your avatar the digital environments created by our developers for the event and make you feel totally immersed and involved.
Entertainment for the little ones
Younger audiences will be able to try their hand at virtual driving of historic racing cars on real existing circuits. Making the simulation even more realistic is a VR visor connected to a steering wheel, to ensure a greater sensitivity in driving.
