Until September 28th there is time to apply for projects to join Ingenio and become part of the largest technological and entrepreneurial ecosystem in the country.
The first business incubator in the country calls for entrepreneurs who want to belong to a new generation of incubatees. In its 16 years of experience, 303 projects have passed through the Selection Committee, of which more than 140 have been accepted. Currently, Ingenio has 26 technology-based ventures incubated.
Its location in the LATU Technology Park, the largest technological and entrepreneurial ecosystem in the country, allows it to foster relationships with leading companies in the technology sector, as well as essential organizations for the development of entrepreneurship, such as the National Agency for Research and Innovation (ANII), the Uruguayan Chamber of Information Technology (CUTI) and Endeavor.
The projects that apply are expected to meet the following characteristics: be innovative and technology-based, have an exportable profile (at least in the region), be in the validation or commercialization stage and have at least one team member who can devote himself/herself entirely to the project.
La postulación vía web es el primer paso del proceso de selección. Luego se hace una entrevista con los preseleccionados y por último los equipos presentan el proyecto ante el Comité de Selección de Ingenio, conformado por: Rafael García Moreira (Director de Ingenio), Gustavo Tartaglia (Gerente Administración y Finanzas del LATU), Sara Goldberg (Gerente de Operaciones, ANII), Enrique Topolansky Nese (Director del Centro de Innovación y Emprendimientos-CIE-, Universidad ORT Uruguay), Álvaro Pardo (Decano de Facultad de Ingeniería y Tecnologías de la Universidad Católica del Uruguay), María Simon (Decana de Facultad de Ingeniería de la UDELAR) y Julieta López (Directora Ejecutiva de la Fundación Ricaldoni). Los emprendimientos elegidos por el Comité de Selección se conocerán el día 26 de octubre y recibirán hasta dos años de incubación.
