Victor You'll come, Santi aymerich, Martina Díaz-Vélez and John Garbarro, were the four students selected to participate in this international program that encourages teamwork, creativity and the passion of the entrepreneurial spirit.

For the second year, TecnoCampus students have strengthened their entrepreneurial skills in a bootcamp intensive held in Munich (Germany). The participation of TecnoCampus arises as a result of the collaboration it maintains with theStrascheg Center for Entrepreneurship of the University of Applied Sciences of Munich, as both entities are part of the European Alliance of Universities Home The futures.

From February 27 to March 4, students worked on an entrepreneurial challenge related to the future of food. During the week, the young people participated in different talks and sessions related to this topic, while developing an entrepreneurial project with a team multidisciplinary. "Everything in this program has added up: more learning, more points of view, more cultures, more friends, more experiences... It's been an excellent opportunity to learn, explore and test yourself," says Joan Garbarro, degree student in Industrial Organization Engineering. Joan Gabarró adds: "We attended more than 10 hours of training by experts from various sectors, we worked for more than 40 hours and developed a project on real problems."

Second prize winning project: Fusion Jams
Victor You'll come, degree student in Business Administration and Innovation Management in English, says: "The program gave me the opportunity to learn from food industry professionals, expand my experience and venture into in-depth research into such a critical sector. The highlight of the program has been collaborating with a diverse group of people from different disciplines and trajectories to work on exciting projects". He, along with three other students, presented the project that received second prize.

The award-winning project is an idea developed through market research into food waste in the viktualienmarkt in Munich, which has 140 sellers of fruit, vegetables, cheese, flowers and other products. victor Antràs explains: "we're leaving realize that each seller could end up throwing eight to ten kilos of fruit a week which, although perfectly edible, was not visually appealing to the end buyer." Hence was born "Fusion Jams", with a combination of fruits and vegetables to create innovative jams (for example: mojito and strawberry with pumpkin), to reverse almost all food waste. One of the incentives for sellers was to offer them 30% of product sales as a business model.

The four students say that the experience was very enriching. Martina Diaz-Vélez, student of the double degree in Business Administration and Marketing and Digital Communities, states: "We have known in detail the process of design thinking and the development of a business idea with the advice of experts". Santi aymerich, of the degree in Logistics and Maritime Business, summarizes: "What I take away is such a diversity of nationalities and their perspective on the same challenge. I had high expectations about this bootcamp, and without a doubt, they have been surpassed by a long way."

Professor Ester Bernadó accompanied the four TecnoCampus students and, in addition, participated as a speaker and coach of participating students al bootcamp. With the talk"from insights your idea generation" shared his experience on the methodology design thinking through which he motivated the students to identify the needs of the users to generate innovative solutions.
