Radio y Televisión Española (RTVE) is holding an open call for the fourth edition of its Impulsa Visión startup accelerator through December 16.
Impulsa Visión Startups is RTVE’s startup acceleration program. It is an initiative to support entrepreneurship and innovation aimed at promoting micro-SME projects and newly created autonomous professionals that contribute to the development and competitiveness of the audiovisual sector in general, and RTVE, in particular.
As in previous editions, this program is aimed at “all those self-employed and micro-SMEs that can provide useful and innovative initiatives applicable to the audiovisual sector,” RTVE announced in a press release.
The open call for startups runs until December 16 and those that are selected will participate in the nine-month acceleration program with a maximum economic endowment of 30,000 euros. Those looking to apply may do so here.
The projects must belong to the field of audiovisual content, technology, organization or business processes.
Once a project is chosen among the finalists after December 16, it will move to a second phase of selection in which it will be required to document and certify all the data declared in the registration form, and subsequently, personal interviews will be conducted with all the members of the team.
At the end of the registration period, the RTVE Evaluation Committee will evaluate the submitted projects, which previously meet all the requirements required in the bases, and those that obtain the highest score will be selected.
The finalist projects will have to provide documentary evidence of the information required in the registration phase, and personal interviews will be held with all the members of each team.
Finally, an Entrepreneurship Agreement will be signed with each of the projects selected to be part of the Impulsa Visión RTVE program, which will detail, in an individualized manner, the conditions agreed upon by both parties.
The RTVE Impulsa Visión accelerator was born in 2015, and, so far, eight companies have been accelerated, including Rookiebox, 104 Cubes, Zapiens, Paythunder, which were accelerated last year.
