Santander X Explorer

If you have an idea and want to know if it has real potential, Santander X Explorer is the programme for you. This fully funded, 100% online training programme has been supporting entrepreneurs in the earliest stages of their projects since 2009.

Over 12 weeks, you will work on your idea using a practical, community-based approach to validate whether it can become a sustainable business that can have a real impact in line with the 2030 Sustainable Development Goals. You don’t need to have anything formally established — in fact, being in the pre-incubation phase is a requirement.

You can participate alone or as a team of up to five people, and the programme is available in the following countries: Spain, Germany, Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, the United States, Mexico, Paraguay, Peru, Portugal, the United Kingdom and Uruguay.

Designed to complement any university major, the programme is suitable for both current and former students and helps you acquire transferable skills that are useful not only for entrepreneurship, but also for adding value to any organisation.

Requirements: an idea or project in the pre-incubation phase; residency in one of the participating countries; and no legally incorporated company linked to the project.
