Discover the entrepreneurship and innovation unit at IQS
From IQS Tech Factory we offer the entire IQS community – students, professors, staff, alumni, and entities within the IQS environment – a platform to promote entrepreneurial matters: from curiosity about understanding entrepreneurial initiatives to backing up the business idea itself to make it a reality. And always through action!
What do we do?
IQS Tech Factory carries out activities aimed at showcasing relevant startups within the entrepreneurial ecosystem, enhancing the generation of business ideas, and establishing connections with corporations to provide innovative solutions through disruptive ideas by tackling real problems.
Taking advantage of the fact that IQS is an institution with a strong educational heritage, we prepare training activities as part of and beyond the scope of official courses to delve deeper into aspects of entrepreneurship and innovation led by expert professionals. In addition, we offer the possibility of carrying out internships and projects at startups within the IQS Tech Factory environment.

Science + business = IQS Tech Factory
One of the greatest strengths at IQS is combining the School of Engineering and the School of Management on a single campus where the synergies between them facilitate a 360° vision of any business challenge. IQS is proud to create a unique strategic collaboration between the business network in our city and entrepreneurs and already established startups. This network of connections enables new entrepreneurs to advance their business ideas with the backup support to become extraordinary founders and directors.

Do you have an idea?
Being an entrepreneur has always been a possibility, and it was once called being a young businessperson, but due to inexperience, not age. Nowadays there are countless tools for learning more about the ins and outs of developing your own business idea, learning from the mistakes you and others have made, and helping out others who plan on starting a business initiative by focusing on the entire 360°. Since 2016, IQS Tech Factory has been available to support any entrepreneurial matters, whether or not they lead to the creation of a business.
