The “Virtual Cinema” project, presented by Mr. Elizalde alongside Juan Nicolón, consists of an online-only cinema. The website (www.cip.com.uy) will feature short films, just as a real movie theater does. It is aimed at students, enthusiasts, and anyone who wishes to showcase their work.
ContenidoWeb is a startup that provides a specialized service for writing and updating website content. The service is aimed at small and medium-sized businesses in general; at web design and development companies, which typically do not have staff trained in writing and communication; and at firms that maintain websites requiring frequent updates and handling a significant volume of information. This project joined the Center for Technological Entrepreneurship at the Faculty of Engineering in August of this year to undergo pre-incubation.
