Promoting in Technological Entrepreneurship

The Enpresa Sortuz initiative brings together 6 entities who are investing in and committing themselves to the technology-based ideas of young or former students of Mondragon Goi Eskola Politeknikoa. The contest is held annually and is aimed at students in degree, master or doctorate level training cycles. Additionally, both active students as well as those who have graduated in the last three years can take part. Furthermore, on the level of innovation of the idea and the role of technology, the presence of various engineering disciplines, degrees and universities will be welcomed, as will gender balance and team projects.

 

In the first edition was the WELLK project winner of the competition, and thanks to the competition and its tenacity the promoters continue to work on the project and have established themselves as a company. Second place of the first edition, project BEREKIN 3D Health, proposed developments of sustainable assets compatible with daily activities that hasten recovery. This idea has also led to the constitution of a company and its products are currently in the health certification phase.

The Enpresa Sortuz initiative has the support of major benchmarks in the industrial field and entrepreneurship it is expected that we will continue organising new editions. If you are interested in technological entrepreneurship please contact ekintzailetza.mgep@mondragon.edu.
