Acceleration methodology
Through the Corporate Innovation Team, and with the support of different business units, we will design the best solution together.
We combine corporate innovation and collaboration with startups
Our approach is based on the Venture Client strategy, allowing the Santalucía Group's business units to work together with startups to design and scale innovative solutions.
Phases of a single acceleration process
Launch of challenges and opening of the call
There is no deadline for enrollment. We evaluate collaborations throughout the year, offering flexibility to startups interested in joining Santalucía Impulsa Startups. After the year, you will be in our database and we can contact you according to our needs.
Analysis, applications and access to the service ecosystem
By signing up for our challenges, you'll have access to our ecosystem of services. The Santalucía Corporate Innovation team will evaluate all applications. If there is a possible fit after a first interview, we will contact the corresponding business unit to validate the collaboration.
Service EcosystemProof of Concept - PoC
If the business unit sees a good fit, we will design together a use case or PoC to validate the solution, aligned with our acceleration methodology. Once validated, we will evaluate a possible agreement to turn the PoC into a project.
Project development and collaboration
After the validation of the PoC, with the sponsorship of the business unit, a possible agreement will be analyzed in the form of a project and if both parties are interested, the project will also be evaluated.

A proof of concept (PoC) is a use case designed to validate a joint solution between Santalucía and the startup. If an application shows a potential fit, we work with the corresponding business unit to develop and finance the PoC, ensuring that the proposed solution is viable and beneficial to both parties.
After the validation of the PoC, we analyzed the possibility of establishing an agreement in the form of a project and evaluating a possible investment. If both parties agree, we proceed with the development of the project, which may include additional funding and a long-term collaboration with Grupo Santalucía.
