Promoting entrepreneurship with advanced technology

Last week, the project consortium met in Cluj-Napoca, Romania, to conduct a series of intensive training sessions, during which the modules, videos, translations and questionnaires for the MOBIpreneur course were reviewed and refined. This course is designed to help entrepreneurs integrate artificial intelligence (AI), automation and other digital technologies into their business projects.

During three days of intense collaboration, the project partners worked to improve every aspect of the course, ensuring that the content is accessible, interactive, and relevant to today’s entrepreneurs. MOBIpreneur is aimed at adults who want to take the next step in their professional development, using technology as a key tool to overcome the challenges of entrepreneurship in the 21st century.

One of the main innovations tested in the training were advanced digital tools, such as the SheBot AI chatbot and the WhatsApp Automation Tool. These tools are integrated with uQualio, an e-learning platform that enables a more personalised, interactive and accessible learning experience for users. These technologies allow entrepreneurs to optimise their processes, improve customer interaction and make more informed decisions, all from a single digital platform.

Population Analysis for the Calatayud Community Tourism Intelligence System

The Developia Foundation has completed the delivery of the population analysis for the Tourism Intelligence System (SIT) of the Calatayud Community Region within the framework of the Destination Tourism Sustainability Plan (PSTD), financed by Next Generation EU funds.

The work, delivered in September 2025, represents a key step in the modernisation of the regional tourism sector.

The project has developed a dual methodology that combines the study of tourism supply — contacting 245 entities and obtaining 183 effective responses — and the analysis of demand through face-to-face surveys in the main tourist enclaves and digital dissemination.

In addition, specific buyer persons have been developed to represent the most relevant tourist profiles, including the development of 17 tourist routes considered to be the most popular, structured into five thematic sections: Water Triangle, Calatayud Heritage and Legend, Water and Fruit, Water and Mountains, and Mudejar Art and Clay.

The results have been fully adapted to the SIT CONECTUR Calatayud digital environment, transforming the information into visual and downloadable resources that facilitate consultation by citizens, tourists and entrepreneurs in the sector.

The Developia Foundation joins the international consortium seeking to train 800 young Mexicans in renewable energy and sustainable mobility

The Developia Foundation is pleased to announce its participation as a co-applicant in the project ‘Energy and Talent MX: Creating job opportunities for Mexican youth’, an initiative funded by the European Commission that has been approved within the call for Civil Society Organisations – Mexico 2024.

The project, which will run for 36 months, has as its main objective to boost the employability of young Mexicans aged 18 to 30 in socially vulnerable situations, with a special focus on the states of Sonora and Nuevo León. The initiative will train 800 young people (50% women) in technical and professional skills in the renewable energy and sustainable mobility sectors.

As part of the international consortium led by the Nuevo León Automotive Cluster (CLAUT), Developia has actively participated in both the drafting and conceptual design of the project and its implementation, contributing its expertise in:

  • Development of digital educational platforms: Leading the creation of ‘Talent Gateway,’ an innovative digital environment that will connect young people with employers and offer online courses with international certifications.
  • Innovative learning methodologies: Integrating gamification and artificial intelligence into training programmes.
  • Soft skills development: Designing specialised modules in cross-cutting skills essential for job placement.

One of the most notable innovations of the project is the adaptation of the Norwegian Jobbjansen model, which will combine academic training with real work experience. This programme will directly benefit 120 young people, and it is expected that at least 85% will successfully complete the training and be in a position to access employment contracts.

The consortium is made up of specialised organisations from Mexico, Spain and Norway:

This international collaboration will enable the transfer of best European practices to Mexico and generate evidence-based public policy recommendations to promote youth inclusion and sustainable development.

The ‘Energy and Talent MX’ project represents a unique opportunity to apply our experience in inclusive technological development and training with an entrepreneurial and social focus in an international context, contributing to the development of skills that will enable young Mexicans to access decent jobs in key sectors for a sustainable future.

Breaking the Cycle: a legacy of youth inclusion and empowerment

Early school leaving is one of the main barriers to the future of young people, especially those in vulnerable situations. The lack of opportunities and adequate support can perpetuate cycles of exclusion, limiting the personal and professional development of thousands of young people across Europe. Aware of this reality, at Developia we have promoted Breaking the Cycle, an innovative project that has demonstrated how education, support and creativity can make a difference in the lives of those who need it most.

As the Breaking the Cycle project draws to a close, we reflect on the impact of this transformative initiative, designed to foster youth participation, European citizenship and the inclusion of those at risk of exclusion. With an innovative learner-centered approach, this project has provided key skills and confidence to participants, empowering them to take charge of their future.

Following our inspiring youth exchange in Malmö, Breaking the Cycle activities were replicated in each partner country, expanding their impact and promoting local debates on education, inclusion and youth empowerment. One of these key meetings took place on December 14, 2024, at the Asociación Cultural Grío in Córdoba, where young people from low-income backgrounds, at risk of dropping out of school prematurely, discovered the educational resources and mentoring opportunities available on our platform.

The event in Córdoba combined dynamic and educational activities that encouraged collaboration, creativity and personal development. Among them, participants took on an original construction challenge using spaghetti, tape and marshmallows, promoting teamwork and problem solving. They also had the opportunity to hear the inspiring story of Arturo, a breakdancer and activist, who shared how passion and perseverance can help overcome difficulties. They also created a gratitude tree, fostering a positive mindset, and recorded a podcast on emotional intelligence and youth aspirations.

One of the most exciting moments of the event was the practice of the flash mob choreography created in Malmö, later recreated in Zaragoza by the project’s educators. Through movement and self-expression, the young people spread the message of Breaking the Cycle, ensuring that their energy and spirit would inspire many more people.

Alongside these face-to-face events, the Breaking the Cycle online training platform has made a significant impact, with 1,825 young people registered, 26 courses completed and 60 final tests successfully passed. This resource has been key in providing participants with social and technical skills in areas such as financial education, entrepreneurship and sustainability.

The project came to a close at the University of Zaragoza, where we met with students from the Faculty of Education to discuss the crucial role of initiatives such as Breaking the Cycle in the fight against educational exclusion. As future teachers, these students will play an essential role in guaranteeing access to education and youth empowerment, demonstrating that breaking the cycles of disadvantage begins with knowledge, support and opportunities.

Although Breaking the Cycle is coming to an end, its legacy will live on in each young person who has participated, in each educator who has been inspired and in each community that has been impacted. Thank you to everyone who has been part of this journey towards a more inclusive and hopeful future!
