CaixaBank Boosts Entrepreneurship with Imagin

The new incubator presents a unique opportunity for young entrepreneurs. The participants of the imaginPlanet Challenge have demonstrated creativity and commitment. Therefore, they will now have the opportunity to take the next step in the startup world.

The imagin incubator will become a space where promising ideas can be transformed into sustainable projects. CaixaBank, recognized for its commitment to innovation, thus reinforces its image as a banking entity committed to the future.

The mentors and trainers will provide the necessary tools to tackle each phase of the project. The methodology used, known as the '66 Incubation Method,' guides participants in developing market strategies, products, marketing, and financial sustainability.

Imagin Transforms Ideas into Sustainable Projects

The incubator is based on the '66 Incubation Method' approach, inspired by the iconic Route 66 in the United States. Each stage of the method is represented by a "State," where young people must work on key aspects for their project to be successful.

This structure helps participants explore essential areas such as market research and marketing strategy, preparing each team for the current market challenges. Imagin's methodology is a powerful tool that guides entrepreneurs from the conception of the idea to its consolidation as a profitable project.

In addition to mentorship, the teams will receive specialized training in different areas of entrepreneurship. Industry experts will provide practical knowledge so that each startup can face the challenges of launching an innovative project. The combination of advice and specialized training will allow young people to acquire essential skills and competencies to succeed in the competitive world of startups.

CaixaBank Opens Doors to Young Talent

The incubation process will culminate with the organization of a Demo Day by imagin. This event will bring together investors and industry experts, offering teams the opportunity to present their progress and attract potential investments.

The Demo Day is envisioned as a launch platform for the startups that have worked for four months in the incubator. During the event, young entrepreneurs will have the chance to showcase their ideas and receive feedback from professionals with extensive market experience.
