What is the Student Project Fund Spain?

The Student Project Fund Spain is a program that aims to support students who are working on exciting projects and are looking to advance their innovations from concepts to physical products.

We are excited to help you advance these projects as you bring new ideas that will help solve problems in various industries regardless of how small or big the positive change might look.

The application is simple, tell us about the aim of your project whether it is still an idea or something you are working on already, how the fund will enable you to achieve your objectives and the proposed impact on the industry if any.

With the Fund, we are putting our commitment to supporting students from Engineering and Technology related courses to become work-ready by providing resources for enhancing prototyping and experimentation skills which are key to their education journey. We strongly believe these innovations could transform our world for a better future.
