Jesús Gómez Ochoa de Alda, an ex-colleague and alumnus of IE University, has won the Campus Emprende award. This award recognizes his innovative ideas on the production of renewable energy.
This entrepreneurship competition has awarded Jesus with €10,000 in cash for his plan to develop and market a microalgae harvesting system. The lack of economically viable harvesting processes remains a major obstacle to commercial biofuel production from microalgae. After this successful milestone in his career as an entrepreneur, Jesús Gómez will launch an spin-off, Green Biodrift, to develop the system.
From here, I would like to congratulate Jesús with this achievement!
