Start-UPFlama is a program to support the creation of startups, co-organized by UPF and TecnoCampus, with training, cash prizes and incubation for the best projects. As part of this fourth edition, on Wednesday, February 26, the Entrepreneurial Day was held at TecnoCampus, with presentations by Jordi Soler and Martí from Creable (value proposition), Albert Roma from Pons IP (intellectual property) and Maria Armiñana from the Circular Economy and Sustainability Chair at TecnoCampus (ecodesign).

Afterwards, the teams made individual consultations with the three experts, and TecnoCampus alumnus David Reyes, co-founder of the startup Banting Lab, shared his entrepreneurial experience at TecnoCampus. Finally, the students visited the pre-incubator and the four incubators: the park's generalist one, Reimagine Textil, Antena TrenLab and ThinkIn 3D. 

Marc Santandreu, Entrepreneurship coordinator at UPF, highlighted: “It was a very well-organized day that undoubtedly provided value to entrepreneurs because they had the opportunity to resolve doubts about their projects in a personalized way with experts from various fields. 

"With this day we have fulfilled a double objective: first, to delve deeper into such relevant issues as the value proposition, patentability and sustainability of the projects before moving on to the next stage of the program, and second, to visit the incubation spaces since the three winning teams will have the opportunity to join the pre-incubator", explained Anahí Moyano, head of University Entrepreneurship at TecnoCampus. 

The twelve teams that participated in the event were ChronAI, H2GO, JobHub, Lingua 2, NetJob, Pangea, Rest & Fly, SAIMOVE, SelePro, Spinaflex, Sterilight and Toothify, which work in different areas such as education, employment, sustainable mobility, health, software and tourism. 

"Receiving personalized and direct attention from the three experts has been key to more precisely defining the strategic direction of our project. Thanks to Start-UPFlama, we are transforming our innovative ideas into business models aligned with the triple impact principle, combining sustainability, economic viability and social benefits," said Victor Antràs (H2GO), AdE student in English at TecnoCampus. 

Carlota Ontangas (Spinaflex), who is studying the Degree in Biomedical Engineering at UPF, highlighted: "Attending the entrepreneurship day at TecnoCampus has been an enriching experience. Getting to know several incubators focused on prototypes and textile design has allowed me to discover resources that can be very useful for the development of my innovative project."
