Development of research skills based on innovative and technological entrepreneurship.
Creative thinking, quickness and teamwork were key during the two intense learning days at the 2nd StartBEC Hackathon, an AINIA and MAPA initiative focused in offering real solutions to the challenges of the circular bio economy.
Our team, comprised of pre-doctoral researcher, Camila Arango, and the students of the Master’s Degree in Chemical Engineering that are doing their master’s degree final project with us, Paula Mercado and Brenda Paz, and led by researchers José Badia and Amparo Cháfer, developed an innovative proposal based on systems of controlled release of agro-industrial based bio-therapies.
With this formative action, we have learned that limits are part of great ideas and that bio-economy is not a challenge, but rather the world that awaits us.
Thanks to AINIA and the Ministry of Agriculture, Fishing and Food for creating these spaces of connection between science, sustainability and innovation.
