This afternoon we will learn about the eleven entrepreneurial projects developed by the fourth-year students of the degrees in Informatics Engineering y Computational Mathematics of the Universitat Jaume I. During the presentation of projects, scheduled from 15.00:17.00 p.m. to 2:4 p.m. in the multipurpose room of Espaitec 5, students will have XNUMX minutes to present each project. Next, a XNUMX-minute question period will open between students and evaluators to comment on the work done and receive recommendations and suggestions for improvement.
The session organized by Merche Segarra, professor at the Department of Business Administration and Marketing at the Universitat Jaume I, will have the collaboration of a panel of expert evaluators linked to the business and institutional world: Sergio Aguado, CTO of Four eighty; Alexis Nadal, CEO of Nayar Systems; Rubén Marzal, Project Director of Shuttle; Miguel Ángel Royo, CIO at Gimeno Group and Founding Partner of IoT Sens and Juan Antonio Bertolín, Management Director of Espaitec.
The meeting has a triple purpose. First, put fourth-year students from different degrees in contact to generate networking. Second, generate job opportunities by bringing UJI talent closer to companies linked to Espaitec interested in supporting and generating job opportunities for talent that has emerged in the academic environment. Finally, promote an entrepreneurial climate among the students of the Castellón university.
Among the ideas to be presented we find a web platform that puts artists in contact with event organizers; an app synchronized with a smartwatch to prevent sexual abuse; the creation of an online video game for children hospitalized with cancer; an application to manage money spending, or technological solutions so that people with vision problems can clearly see their mobile phone thanks to the combination of a mobile app together with a mask that is placed on the screen.
These projects began to be considered in September with the configuration of the teams and project ideas. In October the ideas began to pivot and define the parts of the Lean Canvas. After this phase, based on interviews with users and experts in the field, they defined and pivoted the solution they proposed for the problems raised. During the month of November, the students have worked on some of the parts of the business plan and in December, with the presentation of projects, the opinion of the evaluators will be of great help to finish defining the business plan in January. Part of these projects will continue to be developed in the subjects of the second semester to have a minimum viable product when the course ends.
