This week, the XVI UPOEmprende Awards were presented at the Pablo de Olavide University, an initiative that aims to promote the entrepreneurial spirit among university community members, fostering the formation of entrepreneurial teams and the establishment of innovative companies based on knowledge and/or research results developed at the university. This competition has seen the participation of Sevilla FC for the third consecutive year, sponsoring one of the awards through the Sevilla FC Chair: University, Business, and Sport.
