<strong> Maker Spaces </strong>

<span style="font-family:tahoma,geneva,sans-serif"><span style="background-color: transparent; white-space: pre-wrap; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: small">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></span> <br />

<span style="font-family:tahoma,geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size: small"><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0)"> Faculty are supported to be entrepreneurial or commercialize their research by programs such as the Interdisciplinary Project core course. The projects are based on teachers proposing an idea that can be an Initiation, Scientific Research or Development of a Product / Service. Students browse through dozens of projects and are free to choose the project in which they are interested.

<span style="font-family:tahoma,geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size: small"><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0)"> Students from different majors spend a whole semester working as a team, putting their ingenuity into action and exploring these real-world problems that the teachers proposed to research, design, prototype and solve them with innovative solutions, as the name itself of the course, in an interdisciplinary way. These projects need to be developed following design thinking, user-centered design, and research methodologies. At the end of the semester, there is a contest for all the students enrolled in the course to demonstrate the creative process and the progress as teamwork that is the final result of their project. Finally, there is a contest, called Demo Day UTEC, where the most outstanding projects earn funds to be carried on and enter the market.

<span style="font-family:tahoma,geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size: small"><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0)"> There is a high quantity of teachers at UTEC that are also researchers from any of the six research centres of the university. These different centers enrich the students’ experience by encouraging them to explore their innovative and entrepreneurial potential. They are the following:

<li> ''Cement and Concrete Research Center '' </li><li> ''Heritage Research and Conservation Center '' </li><li> ''Water Technology and Research Center (CITA) '' </li><li> ''Center for Impact and Social Responsibility (CIRSO) '' </li><li> ''Bioengineering Research Center '' </li><li> ''Sustainable Computing Research Center (ComSust) '' </li>

Moreover, such experiences are provided by ====UTEC Career Services and a specific space called “UTEC Networking”, which they created for allowing the exchange of knowledge between companies and students in order to bridge the gap between college and workplace. This event has many components, such as career/company presentations, business/project talks, elevator pitches, company stands, an online employment fair, and the opportunity to meet and match people for any personal professional purpose such as getting a job, an internship, or some kind of network to develop projects. Also, UTEC has implemented projects with companies (known as "PI con Empresas") as part of the Interdisciplinary Project courses. These programs involve both UTEC professors and students, and representatives of the companies to implement different projects that are developed during the semester.Networking====</p><span style="font-family:tahoma,geneva,sans-serif"><span style="background-color: transparent"></span></span><span style="font-familysize:tahoma,geneva,sans-serifsmall"><span style="background-color: transparent"></span></span><span style="font-family:tahomargb(0,geneva0,sans-serif0)"><span style="backgroundIn regards to collaboration between the university and businesses, UTEC has formed partnerships with various companies to better prepare its students for real-color: transparent"></span></span>world industry experience by engaging them in projects with these companies.

<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.
