Independent of what PISA reports affirm regarding the limitedness of young people’s knowledge base or surveys that talk of a rise in so called NEET people (Not in education, employment or training), at BBVAtech we have had the opportunity to meet a group of university students who represent hope in these difficult times.
These young people from varied universities and educational backgrounds (Naval Engineering, Aeronautics, Electronics, Software Engineering, Telecommunications, Marketing, etc.) make up FuVe – Future Vehicles and Entrepreneurs, from where they intend to “design and set up innovative, hi-tech projects which will be of use to industry, the Army and Navy, and society”.

In the following two videos you will see what they answered to us.
