This paper describes the design and initial results of an entrepreneurial strategy -called Co-working StartUPS Project- to promote entrepreneurial projects from the University. Through this experience, students and teachers of the University are encouraged to integrate previous and acquired knowledge into real projects and develop behavioral, contextual and technical competencies. This initiative comes from the collaboration of research groups from the Salesian Polytechnic University (Universidad Politécnica Salesiana. UPS) and from the Technical University of Madrid (Universidad Politécnica de Madrid. UPM), along with other external entities. The methodology is based on a combination of educational techniques - Project-Based Learning (PBL), co-working, case studies - and the realization of activities in both the university and business environment. The strategy is based on the creation of a community in an intentional environment that combines real life with the production of university knowledge.
