A program with high technological content
This program has a very similar structure to the one launched last February specialized in the maritime sector and which is being very well received by its attendees.
Once again, the program stands out for its holistic training methodology and individualized advice, proven to be effective by years of experience working in entrepreneurship, achieving sessions with high technological content and optimizing information flows between participants, aspects necessary for these initiatives to be competitive and able to reach the aforementioned markets.
A common structure of the training program has been designed consisting of group sessions, individualized tutoring and complementary online training, which will be developed in a virtual classroom (streaming). It starts from an initial presentation of five blocks that represent all the essential areas in the feasibility analysis, planning, quantification, validation and business management. Next, you are guided and tutored in a detailed analysis of each area and in the interactions of the elements that make up a business plan, as well as the logical evolution towards the management plan of your companies and businesses.
The contents will deal with project management; digital marketing; biotechnology. Life cycle of a biotech; digital transformation, companies 4.0 and internet of things (IoT); finance and legal-fiscal; and final project management.
This new collaboration of the Free Zone, INCYDE Foundation and the Chamber of Cádiz maintains the line of joint work of continuing to provide more permeable tools to the productive fabric in thriving sectors with employability, so that entrepreneurs identify business opportunities and can make the leap into the labor market with qualified technological-based training.
