WHAT IS UNEC?

University National Entrepreneurship Competition

The winning team from StartUp Turbo will represent ESADE at UNEC, joining other students from top universities from across Spain.

The national winner will then advance to the Hult Prize Global Finals, where they’ll compete for US $1 million in seed funding to launch their venture.

Start-Up Turbo 2026 is more than a competition, it’s a launchpad for future founders and
changemakers, and a bridge between ESADE’s entrepreneurial community and the global impact ecosystem.
