An app to analyse skin injuries and a ski handmade workshop win the Premi Emprèn! UB

The Biop AI project, which applies artificial intelligence innovating algorithms to analyse skin injuries and detect the presence of early melanoma, and the company Liken Skis, which commercializes skis that are unique due its artisan and exclusive features, awarded with the Premi Emprèn! UB in the 2018 edition.

 

The Premi Emprèn! UB given by the Barcelona Entrepreneurship Institute, based in the Barcelona Science Park, and the Board of Trustees of the University of Barcelona, aims to promote innovation and support entrepreneur ideas. This award has two categories: to the best entrepreneur idea or business pre-project and to the best recently created company. 

All candidates who participated received a training including individual sessions with a tutor, after which they presented their business plan. After that, the winners and the accessits were chosen. The winners of both categories receive a 3,000 euro prize; and accessits receive 1,000 euros. The amount of money of the prizes has to be spent on the business project.
