This hackathon constitutes an intensive learning and validation space in which researchers from different centers of the Spanish National Research Council (Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas) work on defining business models for their technologies with the aim of bringing them closer to the market and maximizing their impact.
From PQNO, we energize and support the teams in:
- The identification and validation of their value proposition.
- The design of sustainable business models.
- The preparation of their presentations and pitch for the Demoday.
During this edition, 8 teams were selected to present their pitch in the Demoday Pitch Competition, held on October 10th at the Institute of Agrochemistry and Food Technology. These projects come from various centers of the Spanish National Research Council (Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas) and are led by researchers of recognized prestige and talent, serving as an example of the Spanish scientific potential to generate social and economic impact.
PQNO? was part of the jury along with representatives of key entities in the innovation ecosystem, evaluating the most promising proposals to access 4 grants of €20,000 intended to accelerate their arrival to the market.
This case reflects the trust of CSIC Innovación (CSIC Innovation) in PQNO? as a specialized facilitator in technology transfer and scientific entrepreneurship, as well as our commitment to developing solid business models that convert knowledge into real impact.
