Impulso Emprendedor Programme: our commitment to startups in Navarre

Last Wednesday, 18 September, we took part in the second mentoring session of Impulso Emprendedor at the Management and Cooperative Development Centre of Mondragón, which aims to accompany emerging companies in their growth process.

During the event attended by Marta Pedrosa, Innovation Analyst at Cinfa, the startups were given the opportunity to present the current status of their projects, as well as their progress and the obstacles they face. In addition to the mentoring sessions, participants visited Copreci, an industrial cooperative of the Mondragon Group, allowing them to get to know one of the pillars of the cooperative model in the region.

Startups from Navarre in the Impulso Emprendedor programme

Eight startups from Navarre were selected from among 82 applications to participate in the 12th edition of the Impulso Emprendedor programme managed by CEIN and promoted by the Government of Navarre. The companies chosen for this edition were: Bellezón, Critical Match, Hemotic, Neuraptic IA, Ubyko, Estudio Aquitania, Ingredalia and OPTime.

Now, for a period of six months, these startups will receive advice and mentoring to develop their business models and ensure their long-term viability from leading companies including Cinfa, along with Caja Rural de Navarra, Corporación Mondragón, Grupo Enhol and Viscofan, among others. The programme also includes in-depth analysis, training and networking opportunities with investors. At the end, and after evaluating their progress, three prizes totalling 64,000 euros will be awarded.

The Impulso Emprendedor programme is a valuable opportunity for startups in Navarra and Cinfa considers its participation in this process to be essential. As they all move forward on their journey, we eagerly follow their evolution, convinced that their innovations will not only benefit the region, but also inspire future generations of entrepreneurs.
