The teachers propose an idea that can be an Initiation / Scientific Research or Development of a Product / Service. The program empowers them as students look for students interested in contributing to their project and students decide the project that interests them the most. In addition, at the end of the semester there is an exhibition fair in which the projects earn funds to be continued. These projects were developed using design thinking, user-centered design, and research methodologies.<br>

In addition, UTEC Ventures (a startup accelerator at UTEC) provides consulting in how to make an idea profitable.&nbsp;Founded in 2014, the accelerator offers investment and mentoring to startups. In this year, they have included a mentorship program called "Aprende con UV" to mentor prospect student startups to get incubated. UV follows the pillar of entrepreneurship raised by the university. The University of Engineering and Technology (UTEC) is developing the engineering of companies of the future. An engineering that goes hand to hand with research and the creation of technological solutions, committed to social needs and sustainability. In another hand, UTEC has recently created the "Ventures and Innovation Department" that will now cover this area in the university.</span></span>
