The DrivelQ project from IES Vinalopó in Novelda has received recognition at the Emprendetech FP regional Demoday for its viability and impact potential.

Students and teachers from the center have created a digital twin that connects to a car, allowing for a comprehensive real-time vehicle assessment. This tool identifies damage, calculates costs, and estimates the approximate time for improvement.
The initiative is part of the EmprendeTech FP program, funded by the General Directorate of Innovation of the Ministry of Industry, Tourism, Innovation and Commerce. It is promoted by the European Business and Innovation Centers (CEEI) of the Valencian Community, including those in Valencia, Elche, Alcoy, and Castellón.
In addition to the Novelda project, InnovaSport 360 from IES Joan Coromines and Entoagro from IES Alto Palancia have also been recognized. The main objective of the Emprendetech FP program is to promote training in innovative technologies for both teachers and students in Valencian vocational training centers.

"Vocational training is a strategic space to foster entrepreneurial vocations and innovative solutions from the classrooms."
