Entrepreneurship

ABOUT US

The Entrepreneurship area of the General Rectory seeks to support and encourage the creation of business projects with an innovative perspective created from the research, entrepreneurial ideas and technological developments of its students and graduates, which are economically sustainable and that generate social impact to the community through the creation of sources of employment and the solution to national problems.

Together with the entrepreneurship areas of the five University Units, the aim is to strengthen the culture and entrepreneurial skills of the #SoyUAM community through the implementation of a UAM Entrepreneurship Model and participation in programs, activities, competitions and calls related to entrepreneurship and innovation.

HOW DO WE DO IT?

We provide tools to support the formulation of business projects that can become successful companies with some scientific and/or technological component.

We organize and offer workshops, courses and training activities for the #UAM Entrepreneurs that allow them to focus their creativity and knowledge on the development of innovative products, services and business models or with social impact.

We link up with strategic allies within the entrepreneurial ecosystem.
