Universitat Internacional de Catalunya (UIC Barcelona) and the Universidad Autónoma de Chile have come together to promote an innovative project that explores the potential of artificial intelligence (AI) in creating value in entrepreneurial projects. This collaboration is part of the joint work between the Centre for Entrepreneurship and Innovation at the Chilean University, led by Luis Valenzuela, and Tetiana Klymchuk, lecturer at UIC Barcelona.

This partnership seeks to create synergies between the two institutions through the solid academic base provided by the Centre for Entrepreneurship and Innovation of the Universidad Autónoma and the technical expertise of UIC Barcelona.

Vehiclar, the startup that wants to revolutionise the second-hand car market

The efforts of this collaboration are reflected in projects such as Vehiclar, created by Natalia Jordan, an entrepreneur and MBA student at the Universidad Autónoma de Chile. Vehiclar is a startup that offers transparency and trust in the used car market through detailed reports. 

These reports, generated from data collected from workshops, auction houses, insurers and technical reports, are processed using advanced AI technology, including deep learning, to facilitate informed and secure decisions.

Vehiclar’s goal is not only to improve the Chilean market, but to lead the transformation of the automotive sector throughout Latin America, setting a new standard of quality and trust. 

The Vehiclar team is made up of Natalia Jordan, founder and CEO; Francisca Banda, process and systems manager; and Claudio Larena, mechanical engineer.

A model of international collaboration

This success story highlights the value of academic and scientific exchange, promoting an innovation ecosystem that benefits both entrepreneurs and the academic community in general. The collaboration between the two universities reaffirms their commitment to training transformational leaders and developing sustainable and innovative solutions.
