On Wednesday, 22 March, at 11 am, USAL, together with INDRA, is holding a Presentation Workshop for INDRAVENTURES in the Science Park of the University of Salamanca.

The aim of the workshop is to familiarize the research groups and companies in our university context with INDRA’S open innovation model, open to collaboration with universities, and to present INDRAVENTURES as a vehicle for incubating innovative ideas and innovative companies.

For INDRA, adaptation to a new context is understood as a key factor, essential for remaining in the vanguard in technological innovation, and for giving a strategic boost to their ability to generate, accelerate and incorporate in their offers innovative and ground-breaking ideas for products and services. INDRA has responded to this challenge with the launch of a New Innovation Model, which is a novel approach to the innovation process, more agile and flexible, at the same time that it broadens and intensifies its mechanisms for relating to the ecosystem. INDRA seeks out Innovation wherever it is coming from, and is prepared to support new ideas that mark the difference, and the entrepreneurs willing to implement them. This is the foundation of its New Innovation Model.
