Student review [#20144] for Entrepreneurship
at Universidad Politécnica de Valencia - UPV

Hello!! Almost a year and a half ago I was about to finish my degree, I only had to deliver the TFG and I realized that I had not taken advantage of everything that the UPV offered me. And it is that this university offers great help to all students who have an entrepreneurial spirit.

As entrepreneurship is something that has always called me, I decided to sign up for a Challange promoted by Ideas, the UPV entrepreneurship program. I participated with a classmate and we carried out a project that we elaborated on a subject. Obviously, we did not win, since it was not really a project that we had developed in-depth to really carry it out, but that does not take away the experience that we had.

The Challenge lasted about 3 days and you could go alone or with your team, to which new members could join. There, the teachers gave you the guidelines and tools necessary to develop your project in greater depth and finally be able to present it to the court. In addition, the top 3 teams were given a cash prize to help them carry out their project.

This program brought me a little closer to Ideas, so I decided to set up a meeting with them and show them a project they had in mind. The project was accepted and I, along with two colleagues, began to enter the incubator of the UPV. There we have the advice of the ideas team and the support of a fairly advanced start-up. Both guided us to tell us how to approach the project and make it viable. Unfortunately, the project did not progress much further, but not because the UPV did not give us the necessary tools, it was due to the personal issues of the members of the group.

With all this, I want to say that if you are going to study at the UPV and you have an entrepreneurial spirit, do not miss the opportunity to learn about the Ideas program, because it is a real pass. Even once you have graduated, you can count on their support.
