The two UAB students will join a group of 36 'dreamers, who starting on 27 February will spend four days developing innovative projects during their Barcelona-Paris-London train journey. During these four days participants of the Imagine Express will form teams of three people and work on mobile applications for the health, finances, water and other sectors.

Their first stop will be in the French capital, where several experts will help them prepare a business plan for their project. A few hours later they will again board a train which will take them to London. There, each of the groups will have a maximum of five minutes to present the proposal they worked on during the weekend to interested investors. The best team in each sector will receive financial aid and tutorial sessions to help them turn their ideas into a real business project.

During the trip back to Barcelona, all of them will have to add the finishing details to the application they created and have it ready to be presented at the Mobile World Congress, which will be celebrated from 2-5 March in Barcelona.
