Digitus II Awarded By Barcelona Synchrotron Park As Best Business Idea Of The UAB University Research Park
The Ideas Generation Program organized by PRUAB, the UAB University research park, is an original initiative supported by Barcelona Synchrotron Park that sponsors the top prize: every year, 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 the 5th edition: 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.

On December 1, the 3 best projects were rewarded by a panel of 5 experts in promotion of business ideas. Top prize (€ 2,500 and a six-month stay in the PRUAB business incubator) was awarded by Barcelona Synchrotron Park Director Mr. Pere Solà to the Digitus II project presented by Pau Ribau, Marçal Rossinyol and Juan Ignacio Toledo from the UAB Computer Vision Center (CVC). These researchers have developed a piece of software that automatically transforms any image of hand-written documents into a digitalized and indexable file.

Congratulations!
