Connecting Ecosystems at Barcelona Finance Hub

×

Expand

Barcelona is a thriving hub for startups, fueled by strong local players, supportive public and private organizations, and a fast-growing expat community. Yet, despite sharing the same city, these two worlds—the local ecosystem and the international entrepreneurial crowd—rarely intersect in a meaningful way.

This event is all about bridging the gap between Barcelona’s homegrown startup scene and the global founders, builders, and innovators who now call this city home. We’re bringing everyone together for an afternoon of real connection—no pitching competitions, no pressure—just genuine conversations, shared stories and the spark of collaboration. Whether you're deeply rooted in the local scene or newly landed from abroad, come discover what happens when ecosystems mix.

Join the discussion with leaders of Barcelona's international and startup communities, including Laura Rolfe from Spain European Women Payments Network, Barcelona Metropolitan's Victor Horcasitas, ACCIO's Oriol Sans and Barcelona Finance Hub's Nuria Manils
