Innovation and entrepreneurship

About us

Deusto Entrepreneurship, the Deusto Innovation and Entrepreneurship Unit, promotes, facilitates and speaks out for entrepreneurship among the various groups that make up the University Community and its environment (companies, public and private institutions, investors and social actors,…). Thanks to its wide range of services, it promotes the importance of having an entrepreneurial attitude to any challenge in life.

Our purpose is to accompany people throughout their lives, fostering an entrepreneurial and innovative culture inside and outside the University so that they can be drivers of economic and social transformation in collaboration with the rest of the ecosystem.

At Deusto Entrepreneurship we are aware that the entrepreneurial spirit is strengthened thanks to the acquisition of knowledge and tools, and we are convinced that working on these skills always adds up.

A transformation process: 4 main areas

HOW DO WE DO IT?

We have our own Deusto Entrepreneurship Model H4C3R that pursues four strategic transformations defined in nine projects to be carried out. 

Believe, Grow, Create and Cooperateare the four main pillars underpinning our work at Deusto Entrepreneurship. We understand that the first step to spread the entrepreneurial spirit in the university ecosystem is to raise awareness, to help people be Aware of what really counts, to bring innovation and entrepreneurship closer to young people through events and actions to enable them to engage with this environment that many people feel remote.

Once we have become involved, we help people to Grow in these skills by providing them with a learning pathway in creativity, innovation and entrepreneurship. This is aimed at first-year students, graduates or people with a business idea joining the University. These courses are aimed at all people regardless of the degree they are studying, have studied or their background.

With two spaces for entrepreneurship, DeustoKabi in Bilbao and Innogune in San Sebastian, we help people with business ideas to start up their own initiatives, to Create. Since 2009 we have seen the launch of more than 250 companies in our incubators, and we add new innovation projects every year. And we provide them with a wide range of services to make it easier for them to enter the market.

Finally, Cooperate refers to being in permanent contact with the local and global entrepreneurship ecosystem, a way for networking and permanent updating on the latest trends in the field of innovation.
