StartIdea

Date: 

Friday, May 23, 2014 to Saturday, May 24, 2014

Venue: 

Benidorm - Alicante

Co-organised by FUNDEUN and Valencian regional government on 23rd and 24th May in Benidorm, StartIdea - Invatuur provided entrepreneurs an opportunity to develop ideas or existing projects to an advanced level with complimentary consultancy service and know-how from experts in the field of entrepreneurship and project development.

The presentation of ideas takes place in two stages:

  1. Entrepreneurs had 3 minutes to present the idea to the public without the aid of external tools (slide presentations, videos…). Attendees voted for their favourite ideas.
  2. The selected ideas/ entrepreneurs had another 3 minutes to continue the explanation of their projects and 2 more minutes to answer to the mentors’ questions. No external tools could be used. The mentors chose the final projects. The winners would work together in groups for 2 days to contest for the championship.

The selected project was awarded numerous professional supports for continuous project development, for instance, a free month of work space provided by Coworking Meco, a specialised centre in Castalla for entrepreneurs and free web-hosting service provided by   nCodeHost.

GADGET was introduced over the café session which enabled participants to exchange ideas on the university-industry co-operation nowadays. The concern on sustainable tourism was brought by the involvement of Invattur (Valencian Institute of Tourism Technologies).
