Barcelona Deep Tech Summit 2024

Presentation of the Report

The Deep Tech Spin-Off Ecosystem in Spain

November 7 | 12:00 – 12:30

Mobile World Capital Barcelona will present the report “The Deep Tech Spin-Off Ecosystem in Spain“. This analysis addresses a crucial challenge: the difficulty of transferring scientific knowledge generated in universities and research centers to the market, which, despite producing high-value research, does not translate into applied innovation. From a national perspective, the report examines the deep tech spin-offs originating from the Spanish academic environment, highlighting the need to strengthen the connection between academia and the business sector to boost the economic and social development of the country.

Speakers:

• Francesc Fajula de Quintana – CEO, Mobile World Capital
• Jordi Arrufí – Program Director, Mobile World Capital
• Jordi Valls – Deputy Mayor for the Area of Economy, Finance, and Economic Promotion of the Barcelona City Council.
