The CaTaPull Madrid program launches next Friday, April 9.
CaTaPull Madrid, the new acceleration program of the FPCM in collaboration with the City Council of Madrid, will be presented to society on Friday, April 9. The launch ceremony, from 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m., will take place at La Nave, the innovation space of the city council.
CaTaPull Madrid is an acceleration program aimed at scientific-technological based entrepreneurship projects. Its objectives are to strengthen Madrid’s R+D+i ecosystem by promoting high-impact entrepreneurship, the generation of qualified employment and the creation of highly innovative deep tech companies and spin-offs that can achieve success in the market.
The program is based on the Lean Launchpad method – developed at the universities of California and Stanford, pioneers of scientific-technological entrepreneurship – to help step by step in business development: from the initial idea to the incorporation of the company, the validation of the business model and the development of the customer through interviews with the market. It is complemented by specific workshops and advice in key areas for scientific entrepreneurs, as well as the support of a network of mentors from multiple areas of R+D+i with entrepreneurial experience and a final Demo Day with the presence of investors and industry.
The launch event will be hybrid:
– face-to-face at La Nave (capacity allowed: 100 people in an auditorium with 640 seats);
– online through the La Nave platform.
Both formats require prior registration at this link.
