At InspiraTech we believe that scientific knowledge has the power to transform the world.

That’s why we support researchers who want to take their ideas beyond the lab and explore new ways to make an impact through innovation.

Promoted by the Bankinter Innovation Foundation and the CSIC General Foundation

This program was born with a clear purpose:

To close scientific research to the market. Through specialized training, inspiration from real models and connections with the business environment, we give you the tools to turn your knowledge into innovation.

If you feel that an academic career is not enough, that your passion goes beyond publications and you want to explore new ways to apply your scientific knowledge, InspiraTech is for you. We are looking for researchers with:

We will select 20 researchers through a merit-based process and interviews.

The program is aimed at those who are:

Finishing their thesis, or have up to 5 years of postdoctoral experience, or are linked to public research institutions in Spain and from any scientific-technical area.

InspiraTech combines theory and practice in a format designed specifically for researchers.

The program includes two face-to-face bootcamps in Madrid:

One at the beginning, where you will explore the fundamentals of innovation and meet leaders in the sector, and another at the end, where you will apply what you have learned by collaborating with real companies.

Between both bootcamps, you will participate in online sessions led by experts in the key topics and will be structured in a discussion format so that you can actively interact, ask questions and share experiences with other participants.

This flexible format will allow you to learn and collaborate with other scientists.

We are now immersed in the second edition of InspiraTech.

If you didn’t make it in time, don’t worry: the release of the third edition is on its way.

Keep an eye out for key dates and get ready to take the leap.
