The EIC Hub Visit to Barcelona will take place on 2-4 November 2020. Don't miss this opportunity!
The start-up scene in Barcelona
Everything fits in Barcelona. A city open to business and open to the world, where a talented and international proactive workforce develops their careers while enjoying the truly sense of living. The dynamic business climate offers numerous competitive advantages to workers who are experiencing one of the best Mediterranean lifestyles in Southern Europe.
Barcelona is a city where business opportunities and capital investments are brought together making business grow: we can find successful corporates and investment firms such as:
- EURECAT
- LEITAT
- CAIXABANK
- TELEFONICA
- IBERDROLA
- SUEZ/AIGUES
- ESTRELLA DAMM
- DESIGUAL
- FERRER
- ASABYS
- INVIVO CAPITAL
- INVEREADY
Furthermore, talent and technology constantly drive and reinforce one another, and this results in an innovative creative environment for both companies and professionals. Always improving in areas such as sustainability, social progress, healthcare or wellbeing.
All these factors make Barcelona score high on several worldwide rankings. Barcelona has the highest number of innovative companies in Spain (21.5%) and is considered as one of the most attractive startup hubs in Europe. Talent, innovation and commitment.
The EIC Hub Visit to Barcelona will take place on 2-4 November 2020 and consists of several dedicated sessions throughout the day (not a full-day programme). A detailed agenda will follow soon.
