24Genetics and CEU San Pablo University have signed a strategic agreement for the
training of students in the Bachelor's Degree in Biotechnology, which can be
extended to other Health Sciences degrees. The CEO of 24Genetics, Nacho Esteban, and the Rector of CEU
USP, Rosa Visiedo, have been
responsible for signing this collaboration agreement, accompanied by the Deputy
Minister for Universities, Science and Innovation, Fidel Rodríguez Batalla, as well as the directors of Madri+d.
With the aim of achieving the best
employability for their students, CEU USP has promoted the CEU-Business Aulas in
all schools during this academic year. As a result of this commitment to
employability, both institutions have created the CEU-24Genetics Aula, which will allow Biotechnology students to
train and develop their skills and competencies according to current and future
job market needs. Additionally, this partnership includes the development of
Research, Development, and Technological Innovation programs in the healthcare
field to promote and provide guidance on biotechnology entrepreneurship.
After the signing of the agreement, a
talk was held for Biotechnology students, in which Esteban explained the
planned programme for the upcoming academic year within the 24Genetics
Entrepreneurship Classroom. The CEO of 24Genetics thanked CEU San Pablo
University, "with whom we have been
collaborating for some time now," for their dedication and commitment
to the education of their students, "the
true protagonists." In his speech, the founder of 24Genetics
emphasised the significant role of entrepreneurship in the business fabric and
highlighted that "Madrid is a
magnificent city for starting a business."
For her part, the Rector of the
University, Rosa Visiedo, emphasised
the importance of the launch of the CEU-24Genetics Aula, which "corresponds to our strategy of continuing to
offer our Health Sciences students the best theoretical and hands-on training,
creating a true university-business ecosystem through educational spaces, where
joint projects between the professional and academic worlds are encouraged and
enhanced." In that regard, she stated, "we are confident that we can achieve these objectives thanks to our
alliance with 24Genetics, which will provide our students with complementary
training while taking their first steps in the working world."
