VALENCIA, 22 Nov. (EUROPA PRESS) –
Marina de Empresas, an entrepreneurship and innovation hub promoted by Juan Roig located in the Marina of Valencia, has created in collaboration with Google Cloud a space for innovation in the use of data, an initiative that aspires to turn the Valencian capital into an international benchmark in this ambit.
The objective of this new hub, in which the three Marina de Empresas initiatives – EDEM, Lanzadera and Angels – participate, is to provide solutions to real technological challenges in the area of ??data presented by large companies, in addition to being able to generate and share knowledge by disseminating scientific knowledge of the innovations developed, as reported by the entity in a statement.
All groups involved in Marina de Empresas can participate in the space – students, teachers, experts, researchers or professionals who have worked on a data project – and it is open, so it is accessible to anyone regardless of whether they belong to this entrepreneurial ecosystem.
As the beginning of this collaboration between Marina de Empresas and Google Cloud, a datathon has been organized. The organizers will select the participants based on basic technical requirements.
After selecting the participants, multidisciplinary teams will be formed that over a weekend will work on a datathon to propose a solution, which will be presented to a jury made up of managers from Google, the challenger company and technological experts, Marina de Empresas has detailed.
The winning teams will have the option to build their solution accompanied by expert professionals during the following months. After this period, the functional solution (MVP) will be presented to them and a winner will be decided, whose development can now be implemented in the challenging company. In addition, the results will be disseminated through scientific articles.
For its part, Google Cloud will provide support and guidance from professionals, access to its Cloud technology and training throughout this process.
The first challenge will be launched by Mercadona. The deadline to register for the datathon, which will take place on January 26, 27 and 28, 2024 at Marina de Empresas, is now open.
Marina de Empresas is made up of three initiatives: EDEM, a university center and business school that trained more than 3,700 students last year; Angels, an investment company that has invested more than 36 million euros in 51 companies; and Lanzadera, a business accelerator that has already promoted more than 1,300 startups.
For its part, Google Cloud accelerates the ability of organizations to digitally transform their businesses and industry, bringing professional solutions based on the latest Google technology and tools that help developers create more sustainably.
With clients in more than 200 countries, Google Cloud has established itself as a trusted partner for business growth and an ally to solve the most critical business problems, added Marina de Empresas.
