Showroom, roundtables and daily activities at the trade fair

In addition to accompanying about twenty start-ups, Barcelona Activa organises within the 4YFN different roundtables on investment trends, scientific entrepreneurship and women entrepreneurs, among others. Furthermore, from the stand that Barcelona Activa will have at the fair, we will be offering a showroom space of products from some of the start-ups of the entrepreneurial ecosystem of the city.

Barcelona is the third preferred European city for start-ups, and the seventh as a hub for attracting investment in technology. Barcelona Activa has been accompanying start-ups to do major transformations over the years since the first edition of 4YFN. And it has been supporting entrepreneurial initiatives for more than three decades.

In 2021, Barcelona City Council’s agency attended 9,183 entrepreneurs and supported 1,671 projects. The municipal agency also offers training in topics that you need to know when starting up a business. Over the last year, more than 3,000 people have been trained through these courses.
