With the competition season now over, Fractus ends a new cycle of collaboration with the BCN eMotorsport team from the Polytechnic University of Catalonia (UPC), an initiative that exemplifies the union between young talent, innovation, and advanced technology.

Through the Fractus-UPC Deep Tech Hub, Fractus has supported this team of students from ETSEIB and ETSETB in the development of their new electric and autonomous vehicle, the CAT17x, designed to compete in Formula Student, the largest international university engineering event.

The BCN eMotorsport project is not only a technical experience, but also a true laboratory for innovation, entrepreneurship, and leadership. Students have gone through the entire development cycle—from conceptual design and manufacturing to project management and competition—with an entrepreneurial and collaborative mindset.

During this season, the team competed at the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya against universities from around the world. Despite high temperatures and challenging track conditions, the students demonstrated resilience, precision, and innovation—values that Fractus fully shares.

“At Fractus, we are deeply committed to promoting technological innovation and young talent. Our support for the BCN eMotorsport team reflects our commitment to projects that integrate creativity, advanced engineering, and sustainability”, said Carmen Borja, CTO of Fractus, during the presentation of the new vehicle at the Parc del Forum.

In addition to contributing to its expertise in telemetry and antenna connectivity, Fractus has supported students in their learning process, strengthening ties between the university and industry. The team has succeeded in attracting funding and relevant sponsors, establishing itself as a benchmark in university innovation and sustainable mobility.

The spirit of BCN eMotorsport—based on teamwork, shared leadership, and continuous improvement—perfectly embodies the mission of the Fractus-UPC Deep Tech Hub: turning knowledge into real impact.
