Jury
THE JURY IS MADE UP OF EXPERTS FROM THE ACADEMIC AND BUSINESS WORLDS
The jury will evaluate the projects according to several criteria:
- The team and the presentation will be judged based on the quality of the written and oral presentation, as well as the clarity of the message, call-to-action, and the complementarity of the founding team.
- Innovation will be appreciated for the innovative nature of the technology, process, or service proposed, as well as its disruptive potential in the sector.
- The business model will be evaluated based on its economic and social impact, scalability, and contribution to areas such as health, well-being, justice, equal opportunities, education, and job creation.
- The industrialization capability, sustainability, circularity, and environmental impact of the innovation will also be considered, along with the salutogenic dimension of the project.
