Students will require basic knowledge of: a) Organizational management, b) Marketing, c) Strategy, d) Programming and Algorithmic Thinking, e) foundations on Finance and e) Technological Strategy and Digitization

This course is 12 academic credits (ECTS), which corresponds to 300h student workload.
This workload encompasses various activities, including 72 face to face classes. These hours are distributed in: - 7 sessions of 3 hours (21 hours) for the characterization of exponential technologies, - 7 sessions of 3 hours (21 hours) for the study of technology transfer processes, - 10 sessions of 3 hours (30 hours) for the processes of financing and valuation of technological startups.

With the remaining hours, the student is expected to read and prepare the cases, either individually or in teams. To study and go beyond the lessons, to connect ideas, and to devote the individual time required for all those tasks necessary to achieve the quality standards of the learning objectives.

This subject will allow students to make the connections between blocks of technology, social impact, and the construction and financing of business models. The fundamental objective is for students to know how to identify, characterize, protect, scale, and finance business opportunities based on scientific knowledge.
