The Universitat Jaume I, through the Vice-Rector's Office for Innovation, Transfer and Scientific Dissemination, hosted this Thursday the third edition of the Entrepreneurs’ Day, a key event for the promotion of entrepreneurship among the university community. Entrepreneurs Fede Sainz de Robles, founder of Sepiia, and Javier Barahona, co-founder of Abervian, took part in the event.

During the opening of the conference, the vice-rector David Cabedo highlighted the contribution to the welfare and progress of society of the entrepreneurial projects that are generated from the UJI. "It is these university entrepreneurial projects, based on innovations developed from scientific knowledge, which are called to generate disruptive changes that contribute to sustainable growth and, ultimately, result in better living conditions for people".

Likewise, the director of Innovation and Entrepreneurship, Marisa Flor, pointed out the importance of participating in the activities offered by the university to promote entrepreneurial skills and presented some of the programmes managed by INCREA, such as UJILab Innovació, #ReptadorsUJI and UJIStartup.  
The director of Espaitec, Juan Antonio Bertolín, stressed the importance of this Park as a key point in the entrepreneurial ecosystem of the UJI. According to Bertolín, "Espaitec not only offers infrastructures and advanced technology, but also an ideal environment where business projects can grow".

**Sepiia and Abervian**

During the conference, the CEO and co-founder of Abervian, Javier Barahona, explained how, after studying at the UJI, he and his partner David Oliver came up with the business idea. "When we created the firm eight years ago, we had to analyse the market very well and think about the steps to follow before executing them. Finally, we decided that we wanted to be the technology partner that companies could rely on to develop technological solutions for energy storage".

On the other hand, the founder of Sepiia, Fede Sainz de Robles, explained how the company, which is revolutionising fashion with intelligent garments produced sustainably in Spain, came about. "Our aim is to be the brand of reference in functional products for everyday use, but also using sustainable and ethical technology", said Sainz de Robles.

This initiative is supported by the Regional Ministry of Education, Culture, Universities and Employment.
