Abstract

This article presents an innovative approach that integrates open-source large language models into the strategic planning of initiatives aimed at promoting a culture of innovation and entrepreneurship in universities, especially through hubs hosted in higher education institutions. Acting as a digital copilot for academic teams, the system produces contextualized content, such as scripts for speakers, personalized invitations, schedules, reports, and attractive titles, aligned with local identity and institutional demands. The automation of these processes allows teams to focus on strategic decision-making, partnership development, and improved event management. As a result, greater audience engagement, better participant preparation, and increased consistency in institutional communication are observed. The solution significantly reduces manual workload, optimizes resource use, and enhances organizational efficiency. It also contributes to the development of more prepared and innovative managers.
