Initiative promoted by the European Center for Business and Innovation of Navarra. Call open until Sunday, August 20, 2023 at 11:59 p.m.

In this new edition, a maximum of 20 projects will be selected, which will form part of a mentored itinerary that will focus on accelerating innovative, digital and sustainable business prototypes.

Aim

Provide Navarre digital entrepreneurship projects with the methodology and specialized contrast necessary to incorporate technologies and solutions into the market that allow them to launch a minimum viable test of a digital product or service and start their activity in Navarra. The initiative is aimed at Navarra entrepreneurs with digital projects seeking to become a startup.

Which provide?

The DIGITECH Accelerator:

  • It will provide service and support to technological-digital entrepreneurship initiatives with the intention of becoming viable and scalable companies.
  • It will identify new business opportunities and collaborative initiatives that increase the competitiveness of companies and agents in sectors that demand technology.
  • It will continue its work in support of the Digital Entrepreneurship Ecosystem, with the aim of attracting new projects, presenting cases and real challenges of digital startups, as well as collaborating in the development of the projects participating in the DIGITECH Acceleration process.
  • It will offer contrast of sustainability in the defined technological solutions.
Mentored itinerary

The participating people will be part of a group of entrepreneurial people who will have the support of CEIN's specialized business acceleration staff for 4 months.

Through weekly sessions that combine face-to-face workshops, tutorials and online work sessions, participants will be provided with specialized training in the definition of experiments, prototypes and minimum viable tests of future innovative and sustainable digital startups.

Schedule

The digital acceleration process will be divided into thematic blocks by weeks, from September to December:

  • Prototype idea contrast: the first two weeks, through group and individual dynamics, the participants will be provided with a strategic vision to contrast their prototypes and visualize the scope of their idea. In addition, they will be accompanied to detect their opportunities for acceleration as a business model, as well as the initial risks perceived to test their hypotheses with more guarantees in the subsequent training process.
  • Definition of business model and minimum viable test: it will be developed in the following seven weeks. The participants will have an online program that will include online training modules and tutorials that will guide them in the definition of the previous elements for the validation, prototyping and growth of entrepreneurial projects.
  • Contrast – “Build in public”: the next five weeks the minimum viable test will be built “in public”. This is an especially useful strategy in digital products, where a startup builds its product or service in public and invites potential customers to share in the process. Through this technique, the product-market adjustment is accelerated and the points to be addressed in the future business project are more clearly detected.
