With an attendance of nearly 180 people, practically the full capacity of the auditorium, the event brought together students, entrepreneurs, professionals, and key players of the ecosystem in a day that combined presentations, networking, and spaces for dialogue.
A turnout that reflected the current moment of the ecosystem Minutes before the start, the flow of attendees already hinted at the outcome. From 3:20 p.m., lines formed outside the auditorium, reflecting the interest in taking part in a space that, as the minutes went by, reached almost full capacity.
The opening was led by Juan Carlos Requejo, Vice Minister of MYPE and Industry at the Ministry of Production, who highlighted the importance of creating real connections within the ecosystem:
“It is essential to keep promoting platforms that connect entrepreneurial talent with real opportunities for growth and scaling.”
Startup UNI and the push for new technological solutions One of the central moments was the talk by Engineer Margarita Mondragón, Director of Innovation and Technology Transfer at UNI, who presented the incubator’s role in supporting early-stage startups.
Her participation made it possible to understand how the incubation process not only strengthens ideas, but also structures business models, connects teams with opportunities, and accelerates their arrival to the market.
Four startups, four ways to innovate The main block featured presentations by four startups incubated at Startup UNI, each with proposals that show the reach of applied innovation.
Ronaldo Lima Aroni opened the round with Kalman Robotics, an initiative that seeks to transform robotics education through remote access to real equipment. The startup is about to launch its web platform, a development driven by ProInnóvate funding, which marks a milestone in its growth.
The presentation by Sayuri León Farfán introduced a perspective focused on sustainability. Representing Zeia Smart Energy, she presented an IoT-based solution that makes it possible to monitor energy consumption and air quality in real time, with projections to expand into the water sector. The startup will also represent Peru at StartCo 2026, consolidating its international reach.
From the real estate sector, Daniel Ortega Hurtado presented Decateca, a platform that simplifies property purchase processes through agile and secure digital tools. The company expects to surpass its previous performance and reach revenue of over one million soles in 2026.
The round closed with Charlie Brian Aguero Porras, who presented Yakuscan by Samins, a 3D scanning solution aimed at the digitization of vessels. The team is currently evaluating proposals from abroad, showing international interest in its technology.
When the conversation became personal The most memorable moment of the day was not in the pitches, but in a question from the audience that changed the tone of the room:
“What advice would you give to new entrepreneurs when they are at their lowest point?”
The answers, far from technical, focused on experience. The entrepreneurs agreed on one overarching idea: resilience is not optional.
“If you believe in your idea, you have to keep knocking on doors.” “In the hardest moments, the most important thing is your team.” “Surround yourself with people who can support you when everything is uncertain.”
The message was clear: there is no perfect time to start a business. What matters is to begin, sustain the process, and build together with others.
Beyond the stage The day continued with a networking space that allowed conversations to continue and connections to form between attendees and entrepreneurs.
The closing remarks were given by Vanessa Sánchez Sánchez, who reaffirmed the institutional commitment to the development of the ecosystem:
“Spaces like RUTA PROINNÓVATECH are key to continue driving innovation and strengthening the competitiveness of our businesses.”
An ecosystem on the move
The 2026 edition of RUTA PROINNÓVATECH showed a more connected ecosystem, with startups that not only develop technology, but also project growth, impact, and international presence.
Beyond the solutions presented, the event confirmed something deeper: in Peru, technology entrepreneurship is no longer a promise, it is a reality under construction.
