Goldtech Business Exchange
MISSION
GOLDTech Business Center is UVVG’s business entity, resulting from the integration of the Entrepreneurship Center (2015) and the Goldtech Technological and Business Incubator (2008, ReNITT). Its mission is to systemically connect the university with the regional business environment, generating concrete value for students, entrepreneurs, and the community through three complementary functions:
01
Incubation & Innovation
Support for start-ups, spin-offs, and SMEs in transforming innovative ideas into economic value. Physical and virtual infrastructure, mentoring, access to funding.
02
Goldtech Business Exchange
Academic-entrepreneurial partnership program and private business ecosystem, managed in the interest of GBC community members.
03
Entrepreneurial Education
Courses, workshops, LLL programs, and teaching collaboration. Students with real skills acquired through projects with an impact on the business community.
An ecosystem managed in the interest of its members.
Goldtech Business Exchange operates as a private university business environment: a selective community of companies, institutions, and experts who mutually benefit from access to resources, expertise, and exclusive opportunities generated by belonging to the UVVG ecosystem.
GBE membership provides priority access to university infrastructure, academic expertise, and the network of strategic partners — advantages that are not available on the open market.
01. Access to academic expertise.
Direct connection with UVVG teaching staff and researchers for consulting projects, market studies, and strategic decisions based on scientific methodology.
02. Dedicated student projects.
Each assistance request generates a Goldtech Project coordinated by teaching staff and carried out by student teams — professional deliverables at institutional cost.
03. University infrastructure and facilities.
Conference rooms, laboratories, e-learning platforms, access to international academic databases, co-working spaces, and networking events organized on campus.
04. Strategic ADR West network.
Access to the regional business community: the top 100 companies in each county of the West Region, institutional partners, public authorities, and international networks.
Types of GBE partnerships: Input (body of expertise) – Output (business ecosystem) – PR & Representation – R&D Research and Development.
