We are pleased to announce that montevive.ai/ has been selected as one of the nine startups that will form part of the first cohort of the El Carmen Incubator in Granada. This achievement represents significant recognition for our artificial intelligence project and opens new opportunities for our growth and development.

A Highly Competitive Process

The selection process to become part of El Carmen was rigorous and highly competitive. Out of a total of 67 entrepreneurial projects that applied to the call, only 15 were shortlisted to present before the evaluation committee. Ultimately, only 9 initiatives, including montevive.ai/, successfully passed all phases of the selection process.

The selection committee, composed of key representatives from Granada's entrepreneurial and institutional ecosystem, evaluated aspects such as innovation, maturity, viability, team quality, technology used, and business model scalability. Being among the chosen projects validates our approach and confirms the potential of our value proposition in the field of artificial intelligence.

State-of-the-Art Infrastructure to Boost Innovation

The El Carmen Incubator, strategically located in the CIE building of the Granada Provincial Council, provides us with access to over 600 square meters of facilities specifically designed to foster creativity, collaboration, and business growth. This space includes dedicated work areas, equipped meeting rooms, mentorship spaces, and common areas that will facilitate networking and the exchange of ideas.

An Intensive Program with Expert Support

Over the next 8 months, from April to December, montevive.ai/ will participate in an intensive, in-person, and completely free program designed to drive our growth. This program includes:

• Personalized mentorship with experts in business model, marketing, growth strategy, internationalization, and financing.
• Access to 810 annual hours of specialized mentorship.
• Opportunities to connect with investors and access funding rounds.
• Direct linkage to Telefónica's innovation ecosystem.
• Access to digital tools under special conditions.

The Strategic Alliance with Telefónica and Wayra

This strategic alliance adds an international dimension to our participation, allowing us to access Telefónica's global innovation ecosystem, its network of international clients and investors, and proven business development methodologies.
