The Hackathon will be attended by the Vice-Rector of Knowledge Transfer of the UPF, Eulàlia de Nadal, the Vice-Dean of Knowledge Transfer of the UPF-BSM, Ramon Bastida, the Director of the Strategy & Entrepreneurship Academic Area, Susana Domingo, and the Head of Entrepreneurship of the UPF, Albert Domingo.

The twelve business ideas participating in the Hackathon have been selected by the UPF Business Shuttle Innovation Unit, of which eight have already been chosen to compete in the final of the Start-UPFlama programme, to be held on 23 February at the Poblenou Campus Auditorium.
