Barcelona Synchrotron Park Sponsors the PRUAB Ideas Generation Program
The Ideas Generation Program initiated by PRUAB, the UAB University research park, is an original initiative supported by Barcelona Synchrotron Park: It aims at offering companies the benefit of the UAB researchers’ wealth of creativity to get proposals to their technological challenges.
Cultural industries are the focus of this year: 12 challenges from this field coming from local city councils, cultural companies and multinationals were gathered and presented to about 50 researchers in early October. From then onwards, 7 projects have emerged thanks to the help of 9 experts in coaching, entrepreneurship, innovation, management, intellectual property etc. With this support, the 7 corresponding teams are currently working until the end of November on the design of their proposals: on December 1, these projects will be presented to a panel that will award the 3 best ones.
It should be noticed that 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.
