Objectives:

A) General

Starting up enterprises, and especially innovative firms, is a key socioeconomic objective of most public administrations. It is a way to generate employment and wealth as well as a means of strategically fostering emerging sectors that may become real economic engines.

One of the profiles that is best suited to starting up these firms is that of university students who, after completing their training in the innovative aspects of the technical or management fields, become entrepreneurs and start up their own firm. They then act as transfer agents between the scientific-university community and the business environment in their own region. It is for this reason that important efforts are being made to foster an enterprising attitude within this collective. It must be pointed out, however, that the efforts of the Administrations are often being made without the fundamental information required to optimize the resources being assigned and without any follow-up that allows the continuous improvement of the programmes. The objective of this Congress is to obtain and disseminate this type of information

b) Specific

To analyze the state of Business Start-ups as a scientific and empirical discipline in the university, economic, social and cultural fields in Spain, and its impact.

To exchange entrepreneurial experiences, especially with regard to R&D&I, in Spain, England, France, Portugal and countries in Latin America.

To instruct those attending the Congress from the Valencian Community in handling the tools which are most commonly used to detect new employment locations.

To share lines of research on the creation of technology-based SMEs which contribute to the economic and social development of regions.

To reflect on the instruments of public policies in this particular field, specially in the distribution sector and commercial companies.

To analyze the current state of the training available to entrepreneurs on the subject of business start-ups.

Lastly, to analyze recent experiences in business start-ups, their success and failure. Business excellence
