TROY, MI, USA, Sep 25, 2025 — Altair, a global leader in computational intelligence, has expanded its partnership with the Polytechnic University of Turin by signing a memorandum of understanding (MoU) to provide all student teams of the university with access to Altair technology. While teams such as Astra, FlyToFuture, H2Fly, H2politO, Icarus, PoliTOcean, Policumbent, PoliTo Rocket, Polito Sailing Team, Squadra Corse, Squadra Corse Driverless, and S55 are already using Altair software, this agreement empowers other teams to benefit from it.
“The expansion and strengthening of our collaboration with the Polytechnic University of Turin is a perfect example of Altair’s commitment to students and academic institutions, and to the vital role they play in technology—both today and in the future,” said Jim Ryan, vice president, global academic programs, Altair. “Altair takes great pride in offering technology that empowers students to deepen their knowledge, sharpen their skills, and become ‘real world ready.’ No other company gives students the same opportunity to unleash their creativity and inspire innovation like Altair.”
The agreement will grant student team members free access to the Altair® HyperWorks® design and simulation platform and the Altair® RapidMiner® data analytics and artificial intelligence (AI) platform to develop their innovative projects. These solutions will empower students with AI-driven multiphysics and multi-domain simulation capabilities as well as comprehensive data analytics and machine learning tools to manage experimental data. In addition, the agreement also provides access to training tools.
The agreement will allow student teams to strengthen their technical skills in the field of simulation, fostering creativity, drive, and leadership through hands-on experiences and project-based training that lead to the development of functional prototypes.
“The agreement between Altair and Polytechnic University of Turin will allow all student teams of our university to use state-of-the-art simulation tools, supported by expert consultancy. A wonderful opportunity for our students, and we are delighted with this collaboration,” said professor Massimiliana Carello, faculty advisor for student teams.
The MoU will further enable students to strengthen their technical and managerial skills and will support student teams, fostering creativity, a drive to achieve, and leadership through hands-on experiences and project-based learning.
