Potential for learning or transfer
Effective entrepreneurship programmes require active methods that engage individuals in creativity, technological awareness, project management skills and innovation in non- traditional learning environments.
Innovation in entrepreneurship models and methodologies must adopt practical approaches that include active and participatory methods, with actions aimed at stimulating the implementation of projects and the creation of companies by multidisciplinary teams, promoting training in business management in a generalized manner and facilitating the exchange of ideas, skills, capacities and knowledge.
Last year’s companies received a report with a diagnosis along with a roadmap of actions to be implemented based on the recommendations of the consultants which focus on the growth of the startup.
Other value-added services such as access to alternative financing, credits in Amazon Web Services, preferred location in the technology incubator, visibility and promotion.
