Participate in the 20 actuarupm Competition!
Are you interested in the world of innovation and entrepreneurship? Do you have an idea and would like to discover its potential? Do you dare to start a business with the help of the best professionals?
The actuarupm Program launches its 20th actuarupm Competition, with more than two decades behind it committed to promoting entrepreneurship among the entire university community. More than 320 start-ups created, which to date have managed to attract more than 157 million euros of investment, are just some of the figures that allow it to be positioned as one of the leading programs in Spain, and internationally.
The initiative, open to the entire UPM community and to those people who form a team with someone from the UPM (*consult bases),Its objective is to promote the generation of innovative ideas that can have a positive impact on the market and society and to promote entrepreneurial capabilities from the university level.
But what does actuarupm consist of?
Structured based on a competitive model, with 45,000 euros in prizes, actuarupm is however presented as an entire process that lasts several months, in which participants receive training, advice, participate in workshops and specific sessions...
All of this with the aim of supporting the development and launch of innovative ideas and contributing to their viability and impact. With a survival time among the start-ups that have gone through the actuarupm Program, which reaches 70% three years after its creation.
And not only that. Because actuarupm continues beyond the final awards, with support and monitoring of the projects, contributing to their dissemination, as well as the search for financing.
How to participate?
The competition is open to all UPM Schools and Centers, which allows the generation of an ecosystem of ideas and entrepreneurs from all sectors: architecture, health, agriculture, infrastructure, consulting, fashion... The only requirement is innovation .
To participate you only need to submit an idea or ideas before March 21, 2023. Everything else is still to come! With an edition that, turning 20 years old, is full of surprises.
