This competition is an educational project that allows engineering students and other degrees to be part of a real professional experience. Formula Student represents a master's degree at a higher level in the automotive sector. Thanks to the competition, the students manage to apply the knowledge they have acquired in practical situations and learn new skills through their actions.
In addition, the Formula Student provides real experience in the design, construction and negotiations that are common in the automotive industry. Likewise, it also teaches students to work in a team, under pressure and with strict deadlines, but at the same time with freedom and flexibility, so that students can express their creativity and ingenuity.
The TecnoCampus MotorSports team (TCM MotorSports) emerged as part of a student's desire to create new horizons. "We came out of almost two years of constant quarantines, with many dead hours at home and a lack of goals, so we set ourselves the task of creating something new," explains Team-Leader and Sponsor Manager Marc García-Penche Chacón . "There were several ideas that came up these days, the proposals related to aerospace engineering initially dominated the debate, but then we discovered the existence of the Student Formula, which presented itself as an opportunity to give place to this creative task. at the same time that we integrated the TecnoCampus community into this", he adds.
"Thanks to the amount ofacademic offers offered by the TecnoCampus, we can count on people from many of the degrees," says García-Penche. "We are currently 65 students from 8 different grades", he comments. Specifically, the students who participate in the project belong to the Degree in Mechanical Engineering, Degree in Industrial and Automatic Electronic Engineering, Degree in Industrial Organization Engineering, Degree in IT Management and Information Systems Engineering, Degree in Administration Administration Companies and Innovation Management, Degree in Audiovisual Media, Degree in Marketing and Digital Communities and the Degree in Logistics and Maritime Business. "Each student contributes the knowledge of their degree to the project, making it a unique and multidisciplinary project," he concludes.
The program Start Circular, financed by the Provincial Council of Barcelona and coordinated by the area of Transfer, Innovation and Enterprise with the support of the Chair of Circular Economy and Sustainability at TecnoCampus, it is a vertical program in circular economy. Your goal is make companies and entrepreneurs aware of the circular economy and the principles that govern it, and accompany them in its implementation, through a set of training sessions, webinars and personalized advice.
The program is part of the strategy of the city of Mataró for encourage the transition towards a circular economy. Start Circular complements the high performance program for entrepreneurs Innoempren, as the first provides knowledge in circularity, and the second lays the foundations necessary to understand how businesses are defined and work. Start Circular began during the month of October 2022 with an inaugural session given by the Chair and addressed to companies, under the principle that the companies of the future will be sustainable or they will not be".
To date, six sessions have been held, of around two hours each, where the concept of the circular economy, business models, non-financial reports, institutional marketing, metrics have been discussed and other aspects. The Chair provides the technical support and knowledge necessary for the design and teaching of the training program, and for the advice of companies and entrepreneurs who want to incorporate circularity into their business.
This is the first edition of the program, which will be developed during the year 2023 with webinars, support and advice to companies, circular entrepreneurship programs and others. The program will last until the end of the school year.

La HoMER Network (History of Moviegoing, Exhibition and Reception) gathers one international network of researchers committed to researching public and audience histories, cinematographic exhibition and reception from international and multidisciplinary perspectives, with the aim of promoting the understanding of these phenomena.
Since 2004, this network organizes one every year international conference that in this next edition will take place at the TecnoCampus from July 4 to 7. The aim of this new edition is to expand the academic field of the new history of cinema to a multiplicity of perspectives encouraging a better understanding of the dynamics of power relations between the peripheries and the metropolises, exploring the positionings, borders, limits and geographical, social, cultural and linguistic relations.
The general director of Strategy and Development of Renfe, Manel Villalante, accompanied by the mayor of Mataró, David Bote, and the general director of the TecnoCampus Foundation, Lluís Checa, visited this morning the Antena TrenLab facilities, where this week begins a complete six-month acceleration program of innovative projects at the service of mobility.
Villalante, Bote and Checa have toured the facilities of the Antena TrenLab space that are already prepared to host the various startups that, last November, were winners of the first Antena TrenLab awards. This space constitutes Renfe's first antenna or meeting point for open innovation and entrepreneurship, with an important social and educational character for the transmission of all the knowledge and values generated.
With this first antenna, Renfe, in collaboration with different local and regional entities, has started the creation of a national network of TrenLab Antennas. In this context, entrepreneurs will have experts and specialized mentors who will accompany them in the growth of their solution, not only for the railway sector, but with impact in the field of mobility and, in this case, in the Maresme region.
This initiative responds to Renfe's desire to continue betting on the creation of new knowledge, with the aim of promoting the creation of innovative solutions that contribute to the digital transformation of the railway company. This purpose is shared by the other two entities that are part of the first TrenLab antenna, the Mataró City Council and the TecnoCampus, to which is added the creation of local employment and the involvement of the citizens of the region in the creation of new models of mobility and values aimed at environmental improvements associated with transporte.
With the start of the startup acceleration program, also from today and throughout 2023, a set of activities will be developed to involve local and regional entities in the project, which will allow greater permeability of the advances to be achieved in the field of mobility and transporte, incorporating more actors in the innovation ecosystem.
With an allocation of 150.000 euros per edition, the call aims to promote innovative solutions that solve the challenges of the railway sector. Each year, four entrepreneurial projects are chosen to enter a six-month acceleration program that includes the possibility of testing the solution in the territory of Mataró and the Maresme. This initiative stems from Renfe's experience with the start-up accelerator TrenLab where during the four calls, a total of 15 startups were accelerated, of which 4 were Catalan, a figure that represents that 26% of the impulse is born and activated in Catalonia.
Selected challenges and startups:
- Challenge Smarts Railway Station, designed to promote technological solutions at stations that allow Renfe Rodalies customers to be offered more valuable information about the surroundings of their journeys. Selected project: CACTUS. The project proposes a network of IoT devices and a sustainable technological platform with the ability to provide real-time information of interest to passengers such as environmental characteristics (CO2, temperature, humidity, PMs to determine air quality, VOC... ), occupancy of trains and their real-time position that provide valuable information to both the service operator and users.
- Customer Happiness Challenge, aimed at the search for startups that help to improve constant interaction with the customer and allow improvements to be implemented in the service and in the daily operations of Renfe Rodalies. Selected project: WIPASS. Wipass proposes to unify digitization and accompany the user from the beginning to the end of their journey, offering a unique and connected experience with Renfe. And, at the same time, Renfe will be able to obtain relevant information about the experience, interaction and satisfaction of passengers, once the service ends, as well as offer valuable information about the environment of their journeys, such as outstanding offers according to their destination, tourist information around and even offer other services. In addition, during the journey, the user will be able to receive information of interest such as deficiencies, data on the destination or arrival time through push notifications without the need to download an application.
- Challenge 3Drail Solutions to explore how to introduce 3D printing technology for adoption in the rail sector as a competitive and sustainable alternative to traditional manufacturing methods. Selected project: DRUKATT. It is an integration project of all the necessary actors so that the adoption of technology is the most adjusted to the needs of the company, its services and the territory, and in the shortest possible time, it has presented a innovative project in the manufacture of industrial spare parts through design and additive manufacturing in the shortest possible time. It wants to integrate all the necessary actors through training and workshops that allow generating a learning process in relation to 3D printing.
- Challenge Keep it open!, for disruptive startups that develop solutions not yet widely implemented in the rail sector based on new technologies (metaverse, virtual reality, robotics, etc.) or trends (quantum computing, drones, etc.). Challenge selected: HYPERVISOUL. It proposes a traffic management system for connected vehicles to operate fleets of automated light rail vehicles on rural railway lines in order to operate on-demand transporte services for passengers and goods.
In Maresme there are 25 municipalities with less than 20.000 inhabitants. They concentrate 6.000 companies and more than 17.000 self-employed people. With the aim of advising and accompanying them in the digital transformation process, PIMEC is deploying a network of offices throughout the province of Barcelona. The TecnoCampus will be the seat of the Mataró Rural Pyme Accelerator Office.
From this new office, personalized advice will be offered to SMEs and the self-employed, both in person and virtually. And the fact is that digital transformation is no longer a future challenge.
The Accelerated Pyme Rural Offices Program is an initiative of PIMEC and the Provincial Council of Barcelona and has the support of Red.es.
Biel Glasses are smart glasses that improve the mobility, autonomy and quality of life of visually impaired people. They work by recognizing and pointing out obstacles: changes in height to the ground, street crossings and traffic lights, among others. The device also improves vision by adapting lighting and even being able to zoom; all this making the most of the visual rest of each user through the use of mixed reality. The glasses combine an artificial intelligence system with robotic technology to process the images captured by the lenses, interpret scenarios and generate visual stimuli that the user can interpret despite limited visual capabilities.
This device is useful for pathologies that involve loss of peripheral vision and will allow many users with reduced visibility to move more independently thanks to an Augmented Reality system. They tell the user where the different obstacles are that he doesn't see and can even constitute a threat to his integrity.
For the benefits to be maximum, the product must be adapted by opticians to the specific needs of each user. The Biel Glasses are not called that by chance: the project in which Panasonic is now involved was born from the hand of Biel, a Catalan boy born with visual impairment whose parents, Constanza Lucero and Jaume Puig, worked together to, as they themselves explain, "to create advanced and affordable solutions to adapt the world to their eyes". Now, in the same way that they helped their son, they want to help many other people in a similar situation.
The TecnoCampus was the scene on Monday, December 19 of the presentation of the ThinkIn 3D additive manufacturing accelerator, an event attended by a hundred people, many of them entrepreneurs interested in this technology. The general director of the TecnoCampus, Josep Lluís Checa, was in charge of opening the meeting. In his speech, Checa emphasized that ThinkIn3D "is an infrastructure that facilitates the support of companies for the adoption of 3D printing technology, especially in startups, SMEs and micro-SMEs".
Incubator is a 700 m2 space within the TecnoCampus that will be available from March and will have versatile and flexible equipment for different applicationss. Checa recalled that ThinkIn3D was conceived following a "T-shaped" model, because it will have a very clear vertical in applications in the field of health and people's well-being, but also a horizontal vision that aims to reach companies of the other sectors".
This incubator, born as an alliance between different entities, seeks to mobilize resources that have a real impact, both on people and in the territorial contextl. In this sense, the director of the technological park recalled that additive manufacturing, which we informally know as 3D printing, is a disruptive technology because "it allows us to approach different business models, with different conceptualization and design criteria and with much of route". In fact, Checa has recalled that a study developed in the United States between 2016 and 2020 places additive manufacturing in the ninth position in the ranking of the ten technologies with the highest number of patents. A network of high-tech incubators.
For his part, José Luis Bonet, president of the INCYDE Foundation, has been in charge of contextualizing ThinkIn3D as a key piece within a very rich ecosystem of high-tech incubators. And it is that there are currently 23 incubators in Spain, 13 of which are already in operation to promote innovation in micro-SMEs. "It is the largest network of high-tech incubators in Europe, and our goals are ambitious: by 2025 we will have incubated a total of 2.500 technology-based companies that will have created 45.000 direct jobs in Spanish territory" , points out Bonet.
The INCYDE Foundation is the result of the union of all the Spanish Chambers of Commerce and aims to encourage the creation and consolidation of companies. In fact, since the year 2000, INCYDE has invested more than 330 million euros in supporting entrepreneurs and companies throughout the territory betting on innovation and training as central tools. During his speech, Bonet referred to the 3Ts that become keys to success in moments of serious crisis like the current one: "people, companies, institutions and also countries that want to succeed must use work, talent and tenacity, and in the current context I would add the T of transformation”. A bet for all sectors
The presentation event also included a space for reflection and learning from the director of the Center for Innovation in Cities, Esteve Almirall. During his speech, Almirall emphasized the importance of companies being able to "ride the different waves of technological change, and for this reason it is necessary to pay attention to technical progress and also to the adoption processes of these disruptions by companies". According to the ESADE professor, "if the adoption of a disruption occurs, it means that the market test exists, because otherwise companies would not adopt it, and the fact that new technological possibilities appear in a field means that this area has a long way to go.”
Almirall, who has extensive experience in the business IT sector, recalled that "many times, innovation policies focus on creating and accelerating companies or pushing specific sectors, but there is another way to do it- which can benefit many more sectors: betting on general-use technologies such as artificial intelligence, 3D printing, the cloud, etc.”. In this sense, Almirall has firmly stated that "betting on this type of general technology means betting on all sectors, and the ThinkIn3D is a tool to enable this to happen in the field of additive manufacturing".
Finally, David Bote, mayor of Mataró, was in charge of closing the event. Bote recalled that the "TecnoCampus brings talent and innovation, two bets that are part of the DNA of the city of Mataró, and it does so by supporting internationalization, promoting training to prepare for the future and putting at the service of companies tools to promote their competitiveness". A good example of this is the launch of ThinkIn3D, which in the words of the mayor of Mataró "is a transformative project that guarantees the future of our city due to its ability to help innovation within the economic fabric of territory".
El Start for Future program) organized on November 23 and 24 the first Co-Creation Summit, at the University of Applied Sciences in Munich (Germany).

White Jacket is an innovative technological solution in the form of a wearable for blind or severely visually impaired people.
During the event, they presented their pitch in the event's main forum and had a booth that allowed them to show off the vest prototype and meet with investors, suppliers, corporations and other startups, as well as participate in workshops and a one-on-one coaching session with the University of Ghent (Belgium).
About the experience they had, Aitor Garcia comments: "Enjoying this international vision completely changed the way we approached and sized our project; it allowed us to expand our horizons and our scope." Anahí Moyano indicated that TecnoCampus is currently incubating five startups that are part of the Start for Future Program: the local On Rails, Cänma and Operantmerge, in addition to Polymer 01, from Bulgaria, and RongoDesign, from Romania, which was also present at the event and was a finalist in the Strascheg Awards. For Moyano, "belonging to this European alliance allows us to internationalize our teams and bring them closer to markets of interest. In addition, it positions us as a reference incubation center thanks to the aggregate value of our verticals, the services of softlanding that we offer and TecnoCampus' firm commitment to entrepreneurship and innovation".
Start for Future brings together more than 30 universities and allied entities and with the Summit has begun the path to becoming a European Cooperative Society. The Summit was organized by Start for Future Alliance together with EIT HEI Initiative and EIT Urban Mobility.
On Wednesday, November 30, the TecnoCampus hosted a new edition of the Matinal de la Reempresa; a morning of activities and conferences aimed at entrepreneurs looking to sell their company and entrepreneurs looking to take over a business that is already in operation.
The event, which brought together around fifty businessmen and entrepreneurs, was jointly coordinated with the local points of Reempresa de Mataró, Pineda de Mar and del Masnou through the collaboration maintained by Cecot and the Diputació de Barcelona to bring Reempresa to the entire demarcation of Barcelona.

The Red Bank is a cultural and peaceful prevention, information and awareness project against gender violence and femicide. Its aim is to make people who see it think, a kind of wake-up call to continue talking about it every day of the year, not just on November 25, the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women , and March 8, International Women's Day.
It is part of an awareness campaign against the abuse of women that was born in 2016 in Italy on the initiative of the activist Tina Magenta. The installation of this bench in the TecnoCampus means a gesture of denunciation against the constant violence that women receive everywhere, and wants to highlight the attention that all victims deserve, as well as make a call of protest against a social plague that does not stop He has been placed in multiple institutions, not only universities.
In Catalonia, the UB and the UPF have placed several red banks. The UPF has placed one on each campus. The color red is associated with the first women's demonstration against femicide that took place in 2012 in Ciudad Juárez (Mexico). On that occasion, the demonstrators exhibited red shoes to symbolize the victims of gender violence. This campaign has had a great impact especially in Italy and Argentina, but also in Mexico, Austria, Australia, Ecuador, etc. The bench bears the phrase "When I go out into the street I don't want to be brave, I want to be free", which was chosen from among several proposals by the members of the TecnoCampus Equality Commission.
La Night of Entrepreneurship, held at the TecnoCampus, brought together around 300 people to attend the presentation of the Creatic awards and, as a novelty, the first edition of the Antena TrenLab awards.

Reempresa is an initiative of the employers' association Cecot with the support of the Diputació de Barcelona.
The councilor for Employment and Business and second deputy mayor of Mataró City Council, Sergio Morales, was in charge of receiving the recognition. Since its launch in 2012, the TecnoCampus Re-enterprise center has achieved 115 cases of "successful re-enterprises" (assignments or transfers of businesses) that have generated an induced investment of €5.192.226 and have safeguarded 330 jobs.
To date, this service point has advised 354 businesses whose owners wanted to transfer it to an entrepreneur, 584 "re-entrepreneurs" or people interested in acquiring a business have been assisted and 580 negotiation processes have been generated . The aim of the program is to promote and structure the transfer of companies as a way to grow economic activity, and thus avoid the closure of economically viable businesses and the destruction of employment in the municipalities of the county.
The program offers people who want to sell their business, free of charge, individual advice for the preparation of the Transfer Plan, as well as advice throughout the process of the transfer of the company: from the first meeting of the presentation of the parties to the signing of the contract of sale, going through the phases of negotiation and mediation to reach an agreement. People who have the project to "restart" a company or business that is already in operation, are offered a portfolio of businesses in transmission and are helped to make the viability or "Restart" plan of a business that they are interested
The master's degree is aimed at professionals who want to achieve a profile of information technology integrator in management, planning and urban engineering and acquire practice based on experiences of companies in the service sector in cities.
The congress will have the challenge of reimagining and reinventing the city to achieve these changes that are necessary to make in our cities and is aimed at engineering professionals who develop their activity at the local level, municipal managers, companies who work in the provision of municipal services, to the political representatives of local administrations and to all those interested in improving the efficiency of municipal management through engineering
This year, the main axes of the congress will be:
