<span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">After taking a deep look at the Landscape Canvas we realized that the innovation and entrepreneurship (I&E)) ecosystem among university students is not as strong as it could be, given the fact that innovation nowadays is very present around the world. Although it is true that the I&E atmosphere in the University is growing, we believe it's not enough.

<span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">It may be either due to the fact that students are not inspired enough to come up with an innovative idea that can solve a problem or because they do not believe it can be such a scalable idea to carry out.

<span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">The idea is to make an International Start-up Fair with the aim that students get to know the great amount of existing innovative start-ups in the world and get inspired to create and carry out an innovative idea that can solve a problem among the society. This Fair will take place on the outdoor part of the campus each 21st of April (World Creativity and Innovation Day) and every year will present different start-ups from all around the world regarding specific fields of innovation such as digital health, fintech, agritech, cybersecurity and industry.

<li>Step #1: Schedule a meeting with IthaKa Center and student affairs to see if they approve the idea and if they support us.</li>

<li>Step #2:  Make teams of people to do exhaustive research of the different innovative ideas carried out in an assigned country. Each idea must be related to the field chosen for that year and the team will create the stand with panels with all the information about the idea and the product if possible.</li>

<li>Step #3: Speak with the communication and marketing department to help us promote the fair among UCU students and teachers as well as any other person from outside of the university exhausting every communication resource.</li>
