In the framework of his bet on promoting technological vocations, TecnoCampus has just launched a new initiative aimed at secondary schools, the premis Indústria 4.0. These are awards that consist of two categories (training cycles and high school), with an endowment of 500 euros each for the winner.
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.
More than a hundred entrepreneurs interested in 3D printing technology have attended the meeting that gives the start to a unique infrastructure that will come into operation in March 2023. Josep Lluís Checa, general director of the TecnoCampus; José Luís Bonet, president of the INCYDE Foundation; Esteve Almirall, director of the Center for Innovation in Cities; and David Bote, mayor of Mataró, have been in charge of publicizing this unique equipment "which facilitates the support of companies for the adoption of 3D printing technology".
The Talent scholarships have a long history at the Pompeu Fabra University, and for a few years now they have also been awarded at the TecnoCampus in recognition of the best academic records among all new students entering undergraduate studies. This year, we wanted to take advantage of the awarding ceremony of these grants to hand out others, the University-Company. In the latter case, the financial endowment comes from the Aquahotel company, and is awarded to the two best first-year records of the double degree in Tourism and Leisure Management and Business Administration and Innovation Management.
Highlight the importance for companies and for society to move forward in the adoption of Industry 4.0 technologies and methodologies, as well as to know first-hand the training trends at the different levels (professional training, engineering degree and master's in engineering), are some of the aspects that will be addressed next December 2 in the conference organized by TecnoCampus, under the title “El valor de l’enginyeria en la indústria 4.0”.
Cactus, Drukatt and Wipass, winners in the category of operational challenges, will receive 40.000 euros. Hypervisoul, winner of the "Keep it Open!", will receive 30.000 euros. Thanks to this endowment, the four companies will participate in a six-month acceleration program that includes the possibility of testing the solution in the territory of Mataró and the Maresme.
La Entrepreneurship Night 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. A total of seven projects were recognized during the evening: three corresponding to the Creatic awards and four to the Antena TrenLab, which will allow their promoters to enjoy financial aid and business acceleration programs to bring their solutions to market.
The initiative, which will take place on 16, 17 and 18 in November, is part of the Setmana del Talent Audiovisual, a program that encompasses a series of activities aimed at connecting the new emerging talent of university centers in the audiovisual field with professionals from the entire sector.
Once again, the TecnoCampus sponsors IndieDevDay 2022, which in this edition also expands its international projection. Students' projects and a presentation by a professor can be seen at the fair
The TecnoCampus Conference Center hosted yesterday, October 19, the innovation day "Digital and sustainable transition of the textile and fashion value chain in Catalonia", with the attendance of around 150 representatives of companies, sector associations and administrations. In the various interventions, the willingness of the sector to see the challenge of sustainability as opportunities for growth and the creation of new businesses through innovation was highlighted. During the event, the Reimagine Textile awards were presented.
The program, endowed with €150.000, will support four startups with innovative solutions for the digitization of stations, customer satisfaction, 3D application and other disruptive technologies that help imagine new mobility scenarios.
