Recently, the city of Paterna has obtained the distinction of the City of Science and Innovation granted by the Ministry of Science, Innovation and Universities, which implies our adherence to the Innpulso Network and therefore, participate in its activities. In this regard, the Impulso Network in collaboration with the Ministry has organized the event "Impulso Emprende”, which enables each member city of the Network to" sponsor "a SME / micro-business (not older than 2 years) or a project in development with a high innovation component and an ambitious growth plan that develop innovative solutions aligned with the challenges of the 2020 Strategy or the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

We consider that it is an excellent opportunity to give visibility to these SMEs / micro-SMEs or projects, in order to facilitate their access to potential markets and potential investors, through a presentation and an elevator pitch. On the other hand, the event also has a competitive character and the distinction will be awarded to the most innovative project and to the project with the most future projection, as well as a special recognition to the most influential project.

The event is part of the activities of the South Summit 2019 Fair which is configured as the leading global platform for innovation focused on business opportunities that brings together the main actors of the entrepreneurial ecosystem, being the largest event for national and international start-ups dedicated to boosting talent, innovation and spreading the opportunities offered by startups in southern Europe and Latin America.

 We are aware that there are start-ups in our territory that could benefit from this possibility, so we attached the PARTICIPATION BASES so that those interested have more information and can contact Economic Promotion. The deadline for submitting applications (we have to do it from the City Council) ends on September 16 at 15:00
