Technological entrepreneurship is the creation of innovative projects based on technology that make it possible to transform ideas into competitive and scalable businesses. In the Canary Islands, this process is strengthened by initiatives such as the CIDE Network, where mentorDay continues to play a key role.
The recent resolution of the Canary Islands Agency for Research, Innovation and Information Society (ACIISI) represents a new boost for this network, with funding reaching nearly thirty centers across the archipelago. This reinforcement ensures the continuity of a system that brings innovation closer to the business ecosystem in a practical way.
