More than sixty companies participate in events and conferences at UDIT in the first quarter of 2025
One of the backbones on which UDIT, University of Design, Innovation and Technology, is built is the relationship between University and Business, understood as an essential element for the professional success of students.
Thus, every year we are committed to the development of different masterclasses, workshops and activities in collaboration with leading companies and institutions in their corresponding sectors, creating an interesting ecosystem.
A clear reflection of this commitment can be found at the start of 2025. Since January and up to the publication of this news, more than 60 companies have travelled to the two campuses of the University to give interesting talks, connect with students and carry out training workshops.
Top-level brands
Of the companies that have visited UDIT so far in 2025, 8 of them have developed specific activities in the Fashion Area: The Nude Project, Kaotiko, The Extreme Collection, Silbón, Pedro del Hierro, Castañer, ¡Hola! magazine and Interbrand. Alongside them, artists, designers and models, such as Lulu Figueroa and Cristina Figueroa, Fabio Encinar, Iñaki Cobos and Laura Sánchez, also gave talks at the University.
For its part, the Audiovisual and Graphic Creation Area received professionals from L'Oreal Paris, Penguin Random House, Moruba, JCDecaux España, La Despensa, Grow and S22 Digital, as well as artists and illustrators such as Ilu Ros and Laura Agustí.

In addition, UDIT was the chosen venue to host a new edition of the Hobby Awards in February 2025. These awards, presented by Hobby Consolas Magazine, recognise the best video games, consoles, gaming hardware, series, films and platforms of the year and brought together at the University professionals from companies such as Nintendo, PlayStation, Xbox, LG, Neva, PLAION, GAME, Netflix, MAX and Disney+, among many others.
For their part, the students of the Bachelor's and Master's Degree in Interior Design were able to enjoy the experience and knowledge of professionals from Estudio BIGA and Estudio L35, as well as the architects José Manuel Sanz and Arturo Franco.

Thus, the Technology area of UDIT has received, during these first months of the year, the visit of professionals from HP, KPMG, HubTalent, Alteria Automation or IBTICAE.
Similarly, the Campus Innovation Hub hosted the MCPRO Data Innovation Forum 2025, an event organised by the specialised publication MCPRO, an essential event for current and future professionals in the world of data, AI and technological innovation.
