During the ASB Bullring event held on April 15th, 2024, our DECA and IBDP students showcased their entrepreneurial prowess by pitching their business startup ideas to a distinguished panel of judges.

This year’s event witnessed an impressive display of innovation and determination as the five finalist teams from our in-school competition presented their ideas at BBF Mondragon University in Bilbao. 

Among them, the following projects stood out:

Wishlist App – Claiming the top spot, Maddi Albertel and Helena Martín Mangas presented a compelling vision for their innovative app of gift lists.

Teen Jobs – Elvira Alexandra Kirk Garcia and Julia Zarraga Renart secured second place with their impactful concept of job seeking app exclusively for teenagers .

Cross Talk (Mencia Céniga Gonzalez, Blanca González González, Chloé Govaert Barrilero), Infinite Interiors (David Mariel Rosende, Lucas Burgos Balester) , and Skin Coach (Claudia Pérez García, Irene Ruiz Amann) also emerged as finalists, showcasing promising ideas for future development.

Our heartfelt congratulations go out to all finalists. We are confident that the skills honed during this experience will serve as valuable assets in their academic and professional journeys.

A special word of gratitude is extended to our esteemed judges, Felippo Mauri, Rosa Urtubi, and Maialen Arrizabalaga, whose expertise and thoughtful feedback enriched the event for all participants.

Additionally, we express our sincere appreciation to ASB Director Rafael Trinidad for his unwavering support, both in his presence at the event and through his generous contribution, which enabled us to reward the winners with tokens of appreciation.

A heartfelt thank you to our partners at Mondragon University and LEINN International for their invaluable support in making this event possible.

Looking ahead, we aspire to expand and enhance this program and competition, fostering even greater opportunities for our students to innovate and excel.
