The UAB organises its 2nd Entrepreneurs' Day

Entrepreneurs' Day is part of the UAB Emprèn Programme, created by the university to foster the generation of business ideas and projects amongst the university community.

The session will be inaugurated by Ferran Sancho, Rector of the UAB, together with Gabriel Masfurroll, President of the Board of Trustees, and Jordi Massó, Dean of the Faculty of Business and Economics.

Scytl develops cutting-edge technology for online voting processes and provides solutions to meet the modernisation needs for elections around the world.

A debate on the financing of entrepreneurial projects will allow to share updated information on key matters such as applying for funding, when is the best time to apply and which institutes and organisations can offer funding. The debate will include the participation of Laura Vila i Cabiró, project analyst at BANC (Business Angels Network Catalunya), Jesús Monleón, founder of SeedRocket and Ignasi Costas, Member of the Board and Head of the Innovation and Entrepreneurship Department at Rousaud Costas Duran SLP.
