<span style="color:#000000"><span style="font-size:small">Universidad de Ingeniería & Tecnología (UTEC) [https://utec.edu.pe/] is a private university located in Lima, Peru. UTEC boosts education, innovation, research and development of the economy, based on the design of an educational model that is aimed at the needs of the labor market and addresses the various problems of the XXI century. </span></span></p><p style="text-align: justify"></p>
<p style="text-align: center">[[File:Utec3.jpg|720x360px|Utec3.jpg|link=Special:FilePath/Utec3.jpg]]</p>
We have the UTEC Ventures accelerator, which years ago held events in order to promote I&E, like Global Startup Labs, GIST Startup Bootcamp, Peru Design Week, and the 1776 Challenge Cup. Nowadays, the accelerator performs certain activities under selection processes such as PreIncUVa, where students have the opportunity to discover a problem and work around it to develop a Business Model, and IncUVA which is an incubation program that allows students to search for the product-market fit of their solution. All the projects are presented in a Demo Day, open to all the students, to show the progress of all the entrepreneurship incubated.

<span style="font-family:tahoma,geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size: small"><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0)">On some occasions, opportunities are given from teachers for students to get involved as well in the projects that are developing. It could be having the role of research assistant, investigating more deeply in the literature, helping in the prototyping or even getting the motivation and resources to do a research paper.

<p style="text-align: justify"><span style="font-size:small"><span style="color:#000000">The Ministry of Production (known as Produce) is the most important public entity in promoting innovation in our country. One of their initiatives is StartUp Perú, which aims to promote the emergence and consolidation of new Peruvian companies that offer innovative products and services with high technological content. It consists of a set of contests and ways of financing for entrepreneurs, companies at an early age, and incubators. StartUp Perú also provides a platform for meetings and collaboration with people in the startup community in the country.</span></span></p><p style="text-align: justify"><span style="font-size:small"><span style="color:#000000">The Ministry, through the National Innovation Program for Competitiveness and Productivity (Innóvate Perú), seeks to increase business productivity by strengthening the actors' ecosystem of innovation (companies, entrepreneurs and supporting organizations) and to facilitate the interaction between them. It is also part of the National Productive Diversification Plan. As an university that looks to improve its I&E environment, we need to stay in touch with the government. Staying connected to the social reality and requirements of our country may be ensured by attending the big plans of it.</span></span></p><p style="text-align: justify"><span style="font-size:small"><span style="color:#000000">Another popular entity promoting innovation is Hackspace: a physical place where people with interests in science, new technologies, and digital or electronic art can meet, socialize and collaborate. It can be seen as a laboratory open to community where people from different backgrounds can join. The purpose of a hackspace is to concentrate resources and expertise to promote research and development.</span></span></p><p style="text-align: center">[[File:Hackspace2.jpg|702x300px|Hackspace2.jpg|link=Special:FilePath/Hackspace2.jpg]]</p><p style="text-align: center"></p><p style="text-align: center"></p><p style="text-align: center"></p><p style="text-align: center"></p><p style="text-align: center"></p><p style="text-align: center"></p><p style="text-align: center"></p><p style="text-align: center"></p><p style="text-align: center"></p><p style="text-align: center"></p><p style="text-align: center"></p><p style="text-align: center"></p><p style="text-align: center"></p><p style="text-align: center"></p><p style="text-align: center"></p><p style="text-align: center"></p><p style="text-align: center"></p>
