Yesterday, the entrepreneurs participating in the program Santalucía IMPULSA They had the Thursday and penultimate training session. The workshop, about growth, scalability and internationalization, revolved around how to create economies of scale and make a project scalable. In addition, within the framework of the economy of scale, it was explained how to internationalize a project and make it scalable in foreign markets. Lucía Latorre, from Business Development and Insomnia, Francisco Estevan, CEO of Innsomnia, and Jorge Alvar, Director of Infrastructure, Environment, Energy and ICT at ICEX, were responsible for carrying out this training, since their experience and knowledge on the subject made them the perfect speakers.

During the mentoring we were able to observe how the teams started the week with a lot of energy, in a good mood and very focused on their tasks. There is still a lot of work ahead and each startup has specific objectives and challenges, on which they are working together with their mentors from Santa Lucía And Innsomnia.
