🚀 Exploring Barcelona’s thriving startup ecosystem with Q-Summit

This week, we had the pleasure of hosting a group of students from Q-Summit at the University of Mannheim in Barcelona, offering them a deep dive into the city’s dynamic startup ecosystem. Barcelona is not only emerging as a European tech hub, it's also driving innovation, particularly across the sectors of MedTech and FinTech.To provide a well-rounded perspective, we brought together industry experts with various backgrounds for a panel discussion:💸 Josep R. Novell LL.M. provided the investor's viewpoint💡 Xavier Simó shared insights from the corporate world👥 Olivia Harrower ACMA AMCT spoke from a business angel’s perspective📈 Xavier Estanyol, co-founder of ECTOS, shared his experience of building and scaling a hashtag#contech Startup in Barcelona - more exciting news to come, so keep an eye out!Following the event, we had some valuable networking opportunities where ideas were exchanged and new connections were made. It was inspiring to see so much curiosity and enthusiasm from the next generation of entrepreneurs and investors.

A huge thank you to Q-Summit for visiting us in Barcelona. We truly enjoyed the exchange and look forward to continuing the conversations at the conference in Mannheim this April! 🌍
