The third edition of Santalucía IMPULSA, the Santalucía acceleration program, begins

A few days ago we met the five startups chosen to be part of the third edition of the acceleration program Santalucía IMPULSA, as well as to the company's two business projects that will accompany them in this process. An expert jury made up of the directors of the most representative areas of the company selected Wayook, Arbor, Ever Health, Opseeker and Nodalblock, among all the startups that presented themselves. The entrepreneurial teams from Santalucía that will also participate in the program are Suite and Housing +.

Yesterday, the third edition of the program began, which was initiated by Ángel Uzquiza, Innovation Director of Santalucía, who welcomed all participants and gave a brief introduction to the company's innovation area. Later, Jorge Millan-Astray explained the planning for the coming months and Lucía Latorre presented Innsomnia.

In this first session we were fortunate to have Juan Bataller, Professor of Commercial Law at the University of Valencia and member of the 'Insurance & Reinsurance Stakeholder Group' of the European Insurance and Occupational Pensions Authority (EIOPA). Bataller gave an excellent presentation on the digitalization of the insurance sector, new business models and the impact of new technologies on the insurance world. Without a doubt, it managed to show the disruption and alternatives in the insurance sector, as well as insurtech regulation within the European framework.

After completing all the interventions, startups and entrepreneurs met individually with their respective mentors at the first mentoring session of the program.

From now on, the participants in the program have four months of acceleration ahead of them, in which they will carry out workshops and individual mentoring sessions. The objective is to help them to develop their projects to the maximum. The results of all the effort and work that will have to be dedicated to the projects over the next few months will be seen on June 27, at the Demo Day.

From Santalucía IMPULSA we want to encourage startups And to the Intrapreneurs selected to participate in this third edition of the acceleration program to do their best in the coming months and to make the most of the workshops and mentoring sessions.
