At stand C11 you will find:
- Barcelona Activa services, where you can discover first-hand the new features and opportunities we offer to startups and companies: Municipal investment fund for business financing, new business programs, the Barcelona Deep Tech Node alliance, and key resources such as the UX Lab and the Barcelona International Welcome Desk.
- Showroom, where you can try live the innovations and solutions presented by 5 startups from our ecosystem: Hoop Slam, MICA ECO, Safe Hands, Balance Phone, VRAIn.
- Village Barcelona Activa, with 24 startups in their own spaces in front of the stand and in two different shifts: the first on days 2 and 3, the second on days 4 and 5.
