The entrepreneurial ecosystem of the Polytechnic University of Cartagena (UPCT) will be present at the Summit of Technological Innovation and Circular Economy held in Madrid on July 6 with the assistance of former US President Barack Obama and three other Nobel laureates.
The graduates of the School of Agronomists of the UPCT Ricardo Martínez and Cristina Varona, founders of the multi-funded startup Useful Wastes, and the professor of the Thermal and Fluid Engineering Department José Pablo Delgado, member of the EuroVértice consultancy, will be three of the ten enterprising Murcia who have been selected to participate in the event organized by the Advanced Leadership and Incyde foundations.
The 2017 Nobel Prize in Physics, Barry Barish, and the Nobel Prize in Economics in 2010 and 2004, Christopher A. Pissarides and Finn Kydland, together with Obama lead the panel of global experts who will train 300 future Spanish leaders in technological innovation and circular economy.
"During his presidency, Obama promoted the green and circular economy, which is exactly what we are looking for with our company, reducing the environmental impact of desalination to 0 and extracting the brine's yield to make bleach," explains Ricardo Martínez, responsible for Cristina Varona from Useful Wastes.
Its startup, which is part of the Network of Chairs of the Polytechnic of Cartagena, is "burning stages before starting the commercialization and billing phase.
We have expanded the capacity of the plant on an industrial scale to be able to respond to what is already being demanded by important water treatment companies, "Martínez explains.
Useful Wastes, which last week presented its business model in the congress of bioeconomy that Cajamar organized in Barcelona, ​​is one of the 50 startups with more projection in Spain, according to the magazine Emprendedores.
