Context

Tech Arena Italy 2025 is a Call for Ideas dedicated to excellent young talents from Italy and across Europe, strenghten university ties by connecting students/professors with Huawei through competitive tech challenges and community building.

GENERAL TOPIC: Next-Generation RF Technology for Wireless Communication

You can choose between these three challenges:

SUB-TOPIC 1

Electromagnetic Sensing Solutions and Technological Innovations for Low-Altitude Economy

In low-altitude urban environments, detecting targets is a complex challenge. The task explores how to handle interference, improve accuracy in cluttered scenarios, and apply AI for smarter electromagnetic sensing systems.

SUB-TOPIC 2

Technological innovation of low orbit satellite communication network

Future 6G networks will rely on scalable satellite infrastructures. This challenge focuses on developing smart algorithms for LEO systems, optimizing beam design and enabling efficient, seamless satellite-ground communication.

SUB-TOPIC 3

AI-based RF and antenna design

AI is transforming how we design RF systems and antennas. This challenge explores how to boost efficiency and enable advanced electromagnetic structures while staying grounded in physical theory.
