The University of Salamanca is a leader in entrepreneurship

The University has organised over one hundred entrepreneurial activities in the academic year 2016-2017.

The University of Salamanca is among the top ten Spanish universities which aim to promote entrepreneurship, something which we have already talked about in this blog. The University Tribunal has carried out an extensive report on the subject, it states the different projects and spaces destined to spread the entrepreneurial culture and promote Study in Salamanca.

In this way, over one thousand University students will be able to benefit during this academic year. They will be able to participate in workshops and events related to enterprise. Many of them are already approved after a timely and relevant training. We analysed the pros and cons of each idea to finally give our support to those who deserve it.

Among these programs are; Usal Emprende, Santander Yuzz, T-CUE, Chair of Entrepreneurship from the Bank of Santander, Welcome or the Lanzadera de Ideas Innovadoras (Innovative Idea Launcher), among others.
