The León Chamber of Commerce has held the second edition of the Demo Day of the Impulsa Startup programme, where ten entrepreneurs presented their projects to a jury. The winner was Trace Engine, a regulatory document verification system, which took home €1,600.
The second edition of the 'Demo Day' of the 'Impulsa Startup' programme took place this Wednesday at the Bendita Locura Producciones space in the capital of León. Ten entrepreneurs presented their ideas to a specialised jury with the aim of turning them into market realities. The initiative, driven by the León Chamber of Commerce, aims to energise the productive fabric of the province.
Innovative Projects from All Sectors
The projects presented range from technology to gastronomy. Among them, Trace Engine, a system for maintaining a verifiable record of regulatory documents, was the winner of the competition, awarded €1,600. This project originated from Neura Skin, a cognitive assistance tool for professionals in regulated environments.
Other notable projects include La Agencia, which uses artificial intelligence to automate business processes and create digital avatars; Fallo, a cultural platform that functions as a 3D exhibition space; and Gaming Academy, dedicated to the post-production of audiovisual content for video games.
There were also initiatives linked to the health and wellness sector, such as El Cochejo Blanco, for self-knowledge therapies, and RTL3D, which manufactures orthopaedic insoles. In the leisure sector, Gamesgate focuses on the marketing of board games, while Minicaos offers personalised school supplies and stationery.
Diversity also reached gastronomy with Japonitos, a crunchy snack that fuses Japanese, Peruvian, and Spanish cuisines. Finally, HTM proposes industrialised slabs for construction.
Institutional Support and Guidance for Entrepreneurs
The president of the León Chamber of Commerce, Javier Vega, described the initiative as a “real success.” He highlighted that the ten companies presented in the last edition “are up and running” today. “If we can launch ten companies every year, we will be doing a fantastic job,” he stated.
The programme coordinator, Arancha Santos, explained that participants in the first phase, 'Create and Grow', receive help to develop their idea. In the subsequent phase, 'Take Off', the projects are consolidated with specialised advice. “Some already have a solid project, and others are helped to focus it and to bring a product to market,” she indicated.
The jury was made up of representatives from associations, the University of León, and the Chamber of Commerce itself. Santos emphasised that the ideas are “innovative” and cover “all sectors.”
A Boost for León's Productive Fabric
Javier Vega insisted that “León, Castilla y León, and Spain need companies and job creation.” All these startups, whether they won or not, contribute to energising the productive fabric of a region that seeks to gain competitiveness in a globalised market. The entrepreneurs, eager to take on the world, did not want to wait for September to get started.
For those interested in León's entrepreneurial ecosystem, the Impulsa Startup programme demonstrates that innovative ideas have a place in the province. The next edition is already shaping up as an opportunity for new projects.
