Five innovative social projects have been presented at the Demo Day of the first edition of Audicrea Start, an intensive incubation program created by Audi Spain to support youth talent. This program, which took place over four months, aims to foster creativity, innovation, and positive social impact within the framework of the educational and social initiative Audicrea.
Audicrea Start is an extension of Audicrea Challenge, a competition focused on social innovation aimed at secondary education and vocational training students. Its main goal is to guide young people beyond the classroom and help them turn their ideas into tangible projects that generate significant social impact.
Alberto Teichman, Director of Audi Spain, stated: “True progress can only be achieved by combining technology, creativity, and purpose. Audicrea Start offers young people a real platform to turn their ideas into transformative projects that create a positive impact on society.”
Participants in the program followed an intensive methodology known as the 66 Incubation Method, designed by Imagine Creativity Center and led by Xavier Verdaguer. This approach included mentoring, a focus on entrepreneurship, and training sessions on innovation, business models, marketing, financing, and market validation.
The Demo Day represented the culmination of the program, providing young entrepreneurs with the opportunity to showcase their progress, make connections, and attract the necessary investments to make their initiatives viable and scalable.
