16 January 2026
The 13th edition of Factoría de Talento, one of the most nationally recognised programmes for identifying and developing young talent, kicked off on 10 January with a day of teambuilding that brought together the 20 finalists selected from among students from seven Spanish universities. Among them were María Merinos and Marcos Fernández Martínez, students of the Dual Degree in Psychology and Business Administration and Management (Comillas CIHS).
Over the next six months, both will take part in an intensive itinerary of personal and professional growth that combines self-knowledge exercises, training in key skills such as leadership, communication, innovation and uncertainty management, and meetings with leading professionals. The programme also offers spaces for dialogue on current issues such as mental health, ethics and artificial intelligence, youth and politics and foresight studies.
María Merinos highlights the transformative potential of this generation: "We live in a world with great contrasts, but also with an enormous capacity for change and many people willing to understand, help and transform reality".
Undoubtedly, a unique experience for María and Marcos, in which they will be able to get to know each other better, share ideas with other young people from different universities and work on skills that will accompany them on their personal and professional path.
