The jury will include Ricardo Recuero, Councillor for Education and Innovation in Torrevieja; Javier Sancho, Director of Entrepreneurship at UMH’s Science Park; Carlos Carmona, President of the Royal Nautical Club of Torrevieja; and Álvaro Barrio, CEO of the security engineering firm Toloal.
Since its launch, Torrevieja Emprende has registered nearly 50 projects and provided mentoring to 30. The program forms part of UMH’s Emprende initiative, which supports local governments in fostering entrepreneurship and business development throughout the province.
