The 15th edition of the Business CompetitionThis initiative brings together public, private, and third-sector institutions from the entrepreneurial ecosystem of the province of Santa Fe each year. This year, The top three places were achieved by teams from our University, an accomplishment that reflects the commitment, innovation and leadership of our students, teachers and graduates in the entrepreneurial ecosystem.

1st place – GRU

First place went to GRU, a digital platform that connects drivers with roadside assistance providers in real time, eliminating intermediaries. The project arose in response to the long wait times, lack of transparency, and low income faced by tow truck drivers under the traditional system, thus offering an efficient and fair solution for both drivers and service providers.

The project is led by #GraduadosAustral, with the support and incubation of the Innovation and Entrepreneurship Laboratory (LINE).

2nd place – F+ESG Value

Second place went to F+ESG Value, a pioneering solution that allows companies and projects to monetize their environmental, social, and governance (ESG) impact—a challenge that remains unresolved globally. While most tools only "measure" indicators, F+ESG Value converts them into economic value through its proprietary methodology (RISE), which integrates ESG metrics with classic financial techniques, such as discounted cash flows and risk-adjusted rates.

This initiative was promoted by the professor Federico Orsi.

3rd place – CONLAFT SRL

Third place went to CONLAFT SRL, a technology platform that helps cooperatives, mutual societies, accounting firms, and companies comply with the demanding regulations for the Prevention of Money Laundering and Terrorist Financing (AML/CFT). The venture arose from the growing need of organizations that must comply with UIF and FATF regulations but lack accessible, integrated systems adapted to the local context.

The project originated in the Tax Law department and was transformed into a business model led by the professor Horacio Di paolo, along with recent graduates from our University.

These results highlight our capability, commitment, and talent. showcasing how the innovation and entrepreneurial spirit of our students, teachers and graduates generate concrete solutions to real challenges.
