SOM- INN PORT visited TECH Barcelona on 28th October. Tech Barcelona is a private, independent, non-profit association that structures and promotes the digital and technological ecosystem of Barcelona. They are the gateway and platform for active participation in the ecosystem. They connect and make startups visible, catalyze innovation processes with corporations, foster entrepreneurship, attract investment, boost talent and structure the ecosystem. 1,000 partners and 1,200 companies have participated.
To promote innovation within the city, Tech Barcelona has three main lines of action:
-
Creating communities: Connecting startups and entrepreneurs with corporations, investors and all the agents of the ecosystem.
-
Content creation: Generating knowledge and fostering the exchange of experiences in order to promote talent.
-
Strategic projects: They create strategic projects that accelerate the ecosystem.
Part of TECH Barcelona works as a coworking space where several startups share the same workspace. In this way and through networking activities it is easier to create synergies and share knowledge between startups.
During the visit, some startups were presented such as Digamelon, dedicated to customer service; byhours, a platform where you can book hotels by the hour; Nuwe, dedicated to the validation and capture of computer profiles or Accexible, a system for detecting diseases through speech analysis.
Another important part of TECH Barcelona is ANTAI, a venture builder. It works as a startup factory where successful business models are analyzed and replicated. There is a margin of approximately six months to measure the viability of the business model and if it does not work, resources are no longer allocated.
At Som-Inn Port we are convinced that this type of activity is an inspiration for partners and agents.TECH Barcelona is a space that inspires innovation, where sharing knowledge and experiences always on the agenda.
Many thanks to the member agents who accompanied us on this enriching visit.
Soon you will receive information about the next activity of Som-Inn Port to continue promoting innovation in the Port of Tarragona.
Som-Inn!
