Storia

History and organization

AIMA comes from the experience of a group of makers passionate about automotive and technology who wanted to turn their passion into concrete learning opportunities for students and young professionals. The association’s foundation marked the start of a journey combining education, innovation and practice—creating a unique applied training model in Italy’s automotive sector.

Over the years, AIMA has developed structured programs and partnerships with schools, universities and industry companies, becoming a national reference point for those who want to grow through real projects. We created labs, workshops and learning pathways ranging from vehicle and prototype design/build to managing technology systems and advanced simulators—offering high-value practical experiences.
