Emprèn UIC

What is it?

Emprèn UIC is a service that offers flexible support and guidance to anyone who has an idea, an early-stage project or simply an interest in exploring entrepreneurship. You don’t need to have it all figured out to get started.

Who is it for?

UIC students and graduates, whether you:

• Already have a specific idea and want to learn how to turn it into reality (an app, a business, a service, etc.).
• Do not have a specific idea, but are interested in creating something new – perhaps taking a bachelor’s or master’s degree final project further, developing a class project you’re passionate about, addressing a need you’ve identified or simply learning how the whole process works

What does it offer?

• Guidance and mentoring: one-on-one sessions with the service’s team of experts (face-to-face or online), tailored to each person’s pace and progress.
• Entrepreneurship toolkit: a series of templates (Canvas, Lean Startup, funding guides), practical workshops (public speaking/pitching, prototyping, legal matters) and opportunities to network across disciplines.
• Advisory network: one-off consultations with experts in key areas of your project.
• Ecosystem connections: access to events, conferences, accelerators and opportunities to validate your project in the real market.

The service will support your project throughout the entire entrepreneurial journey: from pre-incubation (initial idea validation) through incubation, market launch and growth.

How can you access the service?

The first step is simple: a conversation, with no commitment or pressure.

• Send an email to empren@uic.es.
• Ask your faculty or department (Alumni or Vice-Rectorate for Students).
• Schedule a session with the Emprèn UIC team.

After the initial contact, a consultation will be arranged to jointly assess where you are, what you want to achieve and what kind of support you need.
