Moreover, fifteen 600-euro runner-up prizes will be awarded. The total prize value of 16.000 euros shall be distributed among teams of professors and students of Universitat de València who will present the best ideas.

How did the team come up with the idea? What is it about? Which social need does it meet? Which audience does it target? What makes it differ from the others? How should it be developed? And what kind of resources would it need to achieve success? These are the questions that the teams should answer in an application form.

Developed by the Office of the Vice-Principal for Employment and Training Services, this initiative is supported financially by Generalitat Valenciana (the Valencian Government) within the framework of the programme Campus del Emprendedor Innovador and “la Caixa” Foundation.
