At Universities, the specification of cross-curricular competences determines the competence profile of all graduate students and two of these competences are the digital and the entrepreneurship ones. Both have served as a cornerstone to design the EmDigital model.

ICT shall be used as a training content, since they represent an essential part of the EmDigital competence (Digital Entrepreneurship), but also as a tool to implement an online, open and mass course. The course will be assessed at both public Universities from the Region of Murcia and will remain openly available once the project is completed.
