Following the announcement of the winning team of the third edition of the Supply Chain Challenge, which took place during the final event on 17th September 2024 at the Modena Golf & Country Club, Makeitalia is now ready to launch the fourth edition of the Supply Chain Championship.

The Supply Chain Challenge is an event conceived by Makeitalia, a Modena-based company that has been specialising in Supply Chain Management for over 16 years.

It offers a true-to-life supply chain management experience, providing future professionals with the opportunity to test their knowledge and skills through direct involvement.

This edition sees the confirmed participation of the following universities: the University of Parma, the University of Naples Federico II, the University of Naples Parthenope, the University of Florence, the University of Cassino and Southern Lazio, Sapienza University of Rome, the University of Rome Tor Vergata, the University of Bergamo, the University of Padua, the University of Calabria-Cosenza, the University of Palermo, the University of Siena, the University of Pisa, the University of Brescia, the University of Bologna, the University of Trento, the University of Modena and Reggio Emilia, as well as the Politecnics of Milan, Turin, Bari, and Marche.

A new university has joined the Championship in this edition: the University of Udine.
