One ecosystem, one shared vision

On 7 July, the MUNER Shareholders’ Assembly and Board of Directors Meeting took place at the Dallara Academy, bringing together representatives of the Association’s 22 partner companies and four universities.

The meeting was an important opportunity to reflect on the achievements of the past academic year and to reaffirm the shared vision that, for almost ten years, has guided MUNER – Motor Valley University of Emilia-Romagna in its mission of educating the next generation of engineers and innovators for the automotive sector.

More than a higher education hub, MUNER represents a unique ecosystem where academia, industry and institutions work together to create opportunities for young talents from Italy and around the world, while strengthening the international competitiveness of the Motor Valley.

The Assembly also marked the renewal of MUNER’s governance. Andrea Pontremoli (Dallara) was confirmed as President of the Association, while Professor Francesco Leali (University of Modena and Reggio Emilia – UNIMORE) was appointed Vice President, succeeding Professor Enrico Sangiorgi (University of Bologna – UNIBO).

MUNER extends its sincere gratitude to Professor Sangiorgi for his valuable commitment and dedicated service over the past years, which has significantly contributed to the Association’s growth and development.

During the meeting, the members also renewed the composition of the Board of Directors, together with the representative of the Ordinary Members, ensuring continuity in MUNER’s governance while strengthening the collaboration between its academic and industrial partners.

As President Andrea Pontremoli often reminds us, MUNER’s strength lies in its ability to move from an “ego-system” to an “eco-system”: a model based on collaboration, shared expertise and a common vision, where universities and companies work side by side to shape the future of mobility.

A heartfelt thank you goes to everyone who continues to invest time, expertise and vision in this shared project. Their commitment enables MUNER to provide world-class education and to further establish the Motor Valley as a global benchmark for innovation, engineering excellence and talent development.
