Today has been a great day! A group of Executive-MBA students from the EOI is visiting Silicon Valley and we had the chance to spend the whole day working with them.
The goal was to build innovative products and business models on top of some wearable technologies and software that Innovalley has developed. We first presented the company in a 15-minute pitch. We also presented our innovation management processes and we proposed them with the challenge: they had to work in seven teams and come up with a new product using a piece of Innovalley technology. They had 1 hour to brainstorm and 2 hours to work on their investor pitch (5 minutes).
The audience acted as investors and each one of us had to invest 1M dollars in 3 projects maximum. We still don’t know what team raised most of the funds. However, it was great to get so many brilliant ideas and we really enjoyed the time with such a talented and motivated group of people.
Thanks EOI!!!

Our partner Cetemmsa is currently developing new technological solutions to be integrated in high-performance clothes like gloves and jackets.
They are using heating technologies that allow the user to control the temperature of the clothes.
They are also working on a smart snow board that has printed luminiscent inks to improve the design and the security during the night. Moreover, it includes microsensors to monitor the movement of the user, with that you can record and reproduce virtually all the jumps and movements to upload in the Internet.
Here you have a video about all these technologies:
