Barcelona Synchrotron Park Sponsors the Fifth Ideas Generation Program
Barcelona Synchrotron Park Sponsors the Fifth Ideas Generation Program
The main mission of the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona Research Park (PRUAB), which is associated with Barcelona Synchrotron Park, is technology transfer: how to transform the results achieved in UAB research centers into economic growth (jobs, patents, start-up companies…).
In this sense, an original tool developed by PRUAB in the last 4 years is the annual Ideas Generation Program based on: 1) Collecting technology challenges posed by local companies from a given sector, 2) Inspiring solutions from the UAB scientific community, 3) Training researchers to help them make their proposal a reality (assessment to elaborate a business plan, create a start-up etc.), 4) Evaluating these projects by experts, 5) Rewarding the best projects.
In the last four editions focused on ICT technologies, biotechnologies, environment and aerospace sectors, respectively, 52 projects have been generated and 8 of them have been transformed into currently operative companies that could get a global amount of 900,000 euros founds.
Barcelona Synchrotron Park supports this initiative that helps the economic development of the local territory and sponsors the fifth program, which this year is devoted to cultural industries. This new edition starts now and will conclude on December 1 with the awards ceremony.
