As in 2020, special focus will be placed on projects that facilitate the recovery of social problems generated or aggravated by the COVID19 pandemic. and the adaptation of the Community to the “new normal”.
Due to the drastic changes in habits that have occurred in society as a result of the pandemic, Fundación Gen E has reconverted its incubation program into a 100% online modality.
Benefits

In addition, they will be able to access a proposal for training and linking with workshops and various networking activities that will facilitate access to networks and expand the opportunities for growth of enterprises. They will also be able to access support and facilitation for access to funding, both from public-private grants, as well as from private equity loans and investors.
Finally, the incubators will access the benefits of visibilization of their projects through our Media Partner, Gamba Media.
The Incubation Gene E is a proposal that can be adapted to the needs of potential projects that are in early stages. Thus, follow-up meetings will be agreed between the entrepreneurial team and the different actors involved in the program: Incubator Coordination, Mentors, and Specialists. The program is 8 months.
