Mobile World Capital Barcelona boosts its spin-offs value to €107 million 

• The technology transfer programme The Collider closes 2025 with 25 incubated projects, 13 active spin-offs and more than €20 million in investment raised 

• The Collider triples the investment raised by its spin-offs compared to the previous year, with a significant increase in private contributions, exceeding €12 million in 2025 

• Since its creation, The Collider portfolio has generated more than 223 direct jobs and €54 million in cumulative funding across all companies

Mobile World Capital Barcelona consolidated the growth of its technology transfer programme The Collider throughout 2025, closing the year with a portfolio valuation exceeding €100 million — an increase of 28% compared to the previous year. The programme thus confirms its growth and its role as a key driver of the scientific deep tech spin-off ecosystem. 

By the end of 2025, companies supported by The Collider had accumulated €54 million in funding. During 2025 alone, the programme’s spin-offs raised €20.2 million, around €14 million more than in the previous year. 

In 2024, these companies closed the year with €6.1 million raised, comprising €3.4 million in private investment and €2.7 million in public funding. In 2025, the figures confirm solid growth: private investment increased to €12.7 million, while public funding reached €7.5 million. 

“Tripling private investment is a clear sign of investors’ confidence in deep tech spin-offs and, in particular, in companies emerging from The Collider. In 2025, we not only increased the value of the portfolio, but also consolidated a methodology capable of identifying scientific talent, transforming it into viable projects and successfully bringing it to market with scalability guarantees,” explains Albert Mascarell, Director of the Technology Transfer Area at Mobile World Capital Barcelona. 

More talent, more investment and greater impact 

Through The Collider, MWCapital drives the transformation of technologies originating in universities and research centres into robust, scalable companies with real market impact. The portfolio currently includes 13 active spin-offs, out of the 23 created since the programme’s launch. 

The value of the programme is not measured solely in economic terms. Over the course of the year, The Collider identified nearly 100 technologies within academic and scientific environments, of which 30 were assessed in depth to evaluate their market potential. In 2025, 25 projects were incubated, leading to the creation of one new spin-off and five projects currently in the company formation phase. 

Since its inception, The Collider portfolio has generated approximately 223 high-value jobs and more than €54 million in funding for portfolio companies. 

The Collider triples private investment across its portfolio companies 

2025 was a year of growth and consolidation for many portfolio companies, which closed significant funding rounds. Notable examples include the spin-off Yplasma, originating from the National Institute for Aerospace Technology (INTA), which has developed a plasma-actuator-based cooling technology and raised €2.5 million in private capital to expand into the United States and address new challenges linked to the artificial intelligence era. 

Meanwhile, Jolt significantly strengthened its market position after securing €6 million in investment from the Saudi Al Qahtani family and the fund CDP Venture Capital. 

Finally, The Collider portfolio expanded this year with OneCareAI, a spin-off from the Barcelona Supercomputing Center (BSC-CNS) that applies artificial intelligence technologies and wearable devices to stroke prediction. 

Consolidation and future outlook 

Mobile World Capital Barcelona reinforces the strategic role of The Collider as a key instrument for transferring scientific knowledge to the market and generating economic and social impact. Looking ahead, MWCapital will continue to strengthen the programme with the aim of increasing spin-off creation capacity, attracting further private investment and reinforcing collaboration with universities, research centres and key players in the entrepreneurial ecosystem.
