Barcelona cradle of tech companies

#BARCELONA CRADLE OF #TECH COMPANIES

Barcelona has become one of the main European cities to invest in technology companies, it is exactly the third European city in digital innovation.

Over the last few decades, Barcelona has welcomed thousands of companies that have opened their technology centers, creating new job offers and helping to turn the city into a world technology benchmark.

#Barcelona has some qualities that make it unique in the world, such as its privileged geographical position, its economic conditions and its pleasant climate. So also with a powerful culture of entrepreneurship and high-level business schools.

During these last two years, a large number of companies have arrived, such as the case of Belvo.

Belvo is a company that has built a platform that allows you to connect any application with financial data from your bank. This company arrived in Barcelona in 2019 making an investment of around €50 million.

Another example of company could be Inbrain Neuroelectronics.

Startups in the food sector are also appearing, such as the case of Incapto Coffee, which in 2020 decided to establish its headquarters in Barcelona. This company offers automatic coffee machines, mainly to companies, and allows them to have a subscription to receive coffee beans. This is a way to help the environment, so companies do not have to be aware of reducing the use of coffee capsules. Incapto Coffee invested €1.8 million.

At this time the company has more than 10,000 clients and its turnover is around €2.3 million.

It is also important to see how much investment has been made in startups and as can be seen in the StartUp Heat Map report, in 2021 there was an investment of around €2 billion. This report also tells us how Barcelona is the third most reliable startup hub in #Europe.

#Barcelona is currently a unique pole of attraction for #talent for entrepreneurs and the city must make a strong commitment to this situation.

In this regard, it is worth watching the conference given by Aurora Catà, President of Barcelona Global this week at the Palau Macaya in Barcelona:
