Innova Industrial Design joins as new patron of Fundeun
In Innova Industrial Design we believe that innovation and design are key tools to transform the business and social fabric of our territory. Therefore, taking another step in our commitment to the entrepreneurial ecosystem and becoming the new patron of Fundeun (Fundación Empresa Universidad de Alicante) is, for us, a great news and an enormous responsibility.
A bridge between business, university and design
Fundeun’s mission is clear: to bring university and business closer together, promoting the transfer of knowledge and supporting the creation of innovative projects with real impact. As employers, we will be able to contribute our experience in the field of industrial design and product development, and at the same time learn from and nurture the emerging talent that is born in academia.
Boosting entrepreneurship and innovation
For Innova, design is not just an aesthetic issue, but a strategic tool to generate added value, differentiate and build solid and sustainable business models. By collaborating with Fundeun, we seek to help ideas born in the classroom and laboratories find their way to market, with the support of a committed business community.
Another step in our vision for the future
This agreement reinforces our vision: to be present in the spaces where the connections are woven that will make Alicante and the Valencian Community a reference for innovation and creativity. We firmly believe that the future of design is in collaboration, in the union of forces between companies, institutions, universities and people.
We are very excited about this new stage with Fundeun and the opportunities it will bring for the business and entrepreneurial fabric of our region.
