Published: 29.01.2018 / News

Last year, a few Arcada students from the degree programmes in Materials Processing Technology and International Business participated in the Intelligence Hunt project organised by SeaFocus. Now the cooperation between Arcada and SeaFocus has taken a step further as Arcada has become an official Academic Partner of SeaFocus. The aim of this partnership is to help develop the Intelligence Hunt concept further with SeaFocus and to find the best resources for the participating companies by spreading information about the project to the students.

Intelligence Hunt® is a SeaFocus project promoting maritime industry as an attractive career path to the university students, and providing maritime industry and its stakeholders a magnificent possibility to get fresh out-of-the-box solutions and ideas.
