Prendete

Description

Prendete is an innovative business ideas contest born in Tandil in 2015. It aims to turn projects at the idea stage or already under way into viable, scalable ventures that create jobs. Admitted teams receive training and mentoring, and pitch to a jury of investors. In its fourth edition, in 2019, it was organised by the Buenos Aires Province Ministry of Science, Technology and Innovation, UNICEN and the Municipality of Tandil, and the best projects won a pre-acceleration programme and a trip to Silicon Valley. The contest is still running, with calls such as Prendete Academy, Jump and Silicon Valley.
