Dive into the three types of innovation that will help your project stand out and get your startup visa: product, process, and business model innovation.
In each case, it's your contribution to development that counts, whether it's improving the sustainability of a product, optimizing production processes, or a new approach to sales and promotion.
❗ It is important to show how the project fits into the Spanish economy (e.g. it supports digitalization, environmental sustainability, fintech or biotechnology - priority areas of the Spain Entrepreneurial Nation strategy).
TIP: Be specific and focus on what makes the project stand out from the competition. For example, if you are working in the field of green technology, focus on improving the quality of life.
MECHANISM: Describe exactly how your product or service works and how it is innovative. It is important to show that your startup offers something new to the market, be it unique technologies, approaches or business models.
LIFEHACK: Use examples from Crunchbase or TechCrunch to analyze similar startups. This will show how your product is different.

✅INNOVATIONS IN PRODUCT | SERVICE
This area answers the question: What makes your product stand out in the market? It is about creating or improving a product that provides a specific benefit to consumers and has unique characteristics, such as new technologies, sustainable materials or advanced features.
Example: Imagine a startup that produces biodegradable coffee cups. Unlike conventional plastic cups, this product is easily biodegradable and does not pollute the environment. The innovation here is not just about convenience - it makes the product environmentally friendly, which is an advantage in a time of increased demand for eco-friendly products.
✅ INNOVATIONS IN BUSINESS PROCESSES
How do you optimize your company's internal processes? This involves implementing new technologies, equipment or methods that improve productivity and efficiency, reduce costs and increase quality. This applies to the entire process of working on a product or service - from production to delivery.
Example: A startup that implements automated inventory control systems will be able to service orders faster and at a lower cost. This gives a competitive advantage, especially in a growing market where customers expect speed and accuracy.
✅INNOVATIONS IN BUSINESS MODEL
How does your business model stand out in the marketplace? It is about innovation in the way of doing business, providing a product or service. In such cases, it is not the product or process itself that is important, but the approach to its promotion or realization.
Example: Imagine a sports equipment rental platform that allows users to pick up and drop off equipment at convenient locations around the city. This approach solves the problem of storing and purchasing expensive equipment by providing access to it for a small fee. This makes the product more accessible to a wider audience and stimulates the short-term rental market.
