The Ingenio Foundation was initiated by a group of businessmen who jointly wanted to support ethical business development. According to UPM Professor Adolfo Cazorla, “this joint adventure is based on the mentality of solidarity in projects”. What is the aim of the Foundation and what is its brand?
- Receive and to listen to the ideas of young people at the end university, in order to turn them into business projects and commercial value.
- Study these projects to select the best ones and helping them to get started.
- Provide facilities, equipped with all kinds of services for the young entrepreneurs.
- Involve the entrepreneurs in projects, participating in the shareholding, financing, directing, training and helping the business development.
- Train students in business with an ethical basis.
- Conduct studies on business developments in nationally or internationally disadvantaged regions.
- Carry out and contribute to environmental studies, creating projects for the recovery and commercialization of environmental problems.
"I think it is a very nice project, responding to a very interesting challenge, in an ideal setting, where University, Business, Businessmen and Young students participate with a common goal, to develop their skills and ideas and turn them into business realities".
For us at the Ingenio Foundation, it is important to always remember that at the heart of our cause are the people.
The Rector Carlos Conde Lázaro and the President of the Ingenio Adolfo García Albadelejo Foundation signed last Friday, June 7, 2013 the Agreement establishing the partnership UPM - Ingenio Foundation.

We believe that with this partnership we will:
- As a university, take a step forward in terms of responsibility and contribution to society, clearly expressing the concern for the future of our students.
- Offer a challenge and novelty for business in which they commit to sharing their experiences in joint projects with young people, which can be a very positive and high value experience in the recruitment of young talent.
- Give inspiration and hope to young students that at the end of university they can become entrepreneurs.
- Contribute to business development and social/ethical entrepreneurs within our society. To create jobs and inspiration for people with ideas willing to work.
- A University initiative that has caught my attention is the launch of the Business Ideas Contest. I think we should start looking into the ideas generated in this contest.
- Part of the spirit of the Foundation is that aspiring entrepreneurs are trained in project management via the IPMA Certification. A few years ago I certified for level B, IPMA is a work methodology and an international accreditation that reinforces their knowledge and studies.
