Researchers can also be CEOs, CSOs, and CTOs

28 May 2025 Tech Spirit Barcelona

They pour their hearts into their projects. They work day and night to solve problems, bring something new to the table, to innovate. They do it while taking risks, guided by an almost blind conviction, with no certainty of success. In the end, researchers and entrepreneurs have more in common than we think.

At the second edition of Tech Spirit Breakthrough, organized by Tech Barcelona in collaboration with Faber and Mitiga, we brought together entrepreneurs, public institutions, TTOs, and investors with a clear goal: to prove that projects born in research centers can also make a rapid impact on society. That researchers can also be CEOs, CSOs, CTOs… and hold every title in the startup world you can imagine.

Barcelona Activa, ACCIÓ, the Generalitat, and Biocat were the first to take the stage at Pier07, calling for stronger European alignment in tech transfer. Beyond local or regional efforts, only a large-scale strategy will bring our technologies to international markets.

What followed was an open debate between founders, TTOs, and investors, three key players in the tech transfer process, each with different but complementary experiences:

Some of the founders developing university-based projects called for more flexibility, especially regarding equity models: “we can’t allow this technology to gather dust on a shelf.” Institutional support must adapt to the real-world needs of spin-offs.
TTOs, for their part, emphasized that their role goes far beyond spin-off creation and financial management. “We have a responsibility to understand the potential impact of each project and help entrepreneurs create value.”
Investors highlighted that their role is not just to provide funding, but also to offer guidance and open up their networks to startups to help minimize early-stage mistakes.

The first part of the event flew by, leaving the conversation open-ended. Then came the turn of the true protagonists: 15 spin-offs pitched their solutions to a panel of investors.

Thank you to ATOM H2, Gate2Brain, CGI-Clinics, Time is Brain, Vaive Logistics, Manina Medtech, Ocean Smart Energy, Aurax, Blue Ant, Galtea Solutions, OneCareAI, Aridditive, Ephion Health, and Volum Technologies for showing the world how researchers are already CEOs, CSOs, and CTOs.

In Barcelona there are already 355 spin-offs, will you be next?

TSB24 – DAY 2 | Tech Spirit Barcelona reaffirms its status as the leading event for the tech community

13 December 2024 News Tech Spirit Barcelona

The event organized by the Tech Barcelona association is approaching 4,000 attendees, who have filled the spaces of La Llotja de Mar for two days.
This fifth edition, “the most technological”, has had a total of 150 speakers, including more than 50 entrepreneurs and 30 national and international investors, as well as representatives of corporations and experts in technology, especially deeptech.
Yplasma, a startup that develops plasma actuators to improve thermal management, has won the Catalan Pitch Competition, organized by ACCIÓ, becoming the ‘Startup Catalana de l’Any’.

Barcelona, December 12, 2024. –Tech Spirit Barcelona, the event of reference for the technological and digital ecosystem of Barcelona, successfully culminates its fifth edition after registering nearly 4,000 attendees at La Llotja de Mar. The event promoted by Tech Barcelona, the private non-profit association that brings together entrepreneurs, investors, corporations and institutions, has reaffirmed itself as a key meeting for the innovative landscape of the city.

In this fifth edition, the event has stood out for its focus on disruptive technologies, such as artificial intelligence, quantum computing or microchip design, in an increasingly international environment. In total, 150 national and international speakers participated, including more than 50 entrepreneurs and 30 investors, along with technology experts and representatives of leading innovation companies. For the first time, more than half of the sessions were conducted in English, reflecting the growing international projection of Barcelona as a global technology hub.

“We have had great entrepreneurs, investors and corporations, in a demonstration of why Barcelona is a technological hub of reference worldwide,” said Miguel Vicente, president of Tech Barcelona, thanking the support of public institutions and partners that have made possible this event with more than 1,800 minutes of top-level content and opportunities for connection and networking. “We will continue working along the lines of this fifth edition, the most technological to date,” added the president of the association in view of the relevance of the technology-based projects developed in Barcelona.

On the second day of Tech Spirit Barcelona 2024, artificial intelligence took center stage once again. “We are still in the early stages of generative AI,” said Eduardo Ordax, Generative AI Lead at Amazon Web Services, who stressed that ”the big challenge today for companies is to integrate these models into their operations.” According to the expert, this process requires “developing the platform that supports them, the cloud”. After his speech, Ricard Torras, from Google Cloud, took the stage together with Nuclia AI, Piper AI and Nexus Clips, three startups that have built their businesses based, from the beginning, on artificial intelligence.

Other participants included Openchip, the company that will design chips ‘made in Barcelona’; Sateliot, the startup that launches nanosatellites into space together with SpaceX; and Submer, which recently raised 55 million euros to continue developing its technology to build sustainable data centers. The day concluded with a live interview with Israel Ruiz, president of Engine Ventures and former vice president of MIT, the most important technological institute in the world.

Yplasma, Startup Catalana de l’Any

The startup Yplasma has been recognized as the ‘Catalan Startup of the Year’, after winning ACCIÓ’s Catalan Pitch Competition. The startup develops plasma actuators to improve everything from the thermal management of electronic devices to the aerodynamics of aircraft wings. The executive director of ACCIÓ, Joan Romero, highlighted “the quality of the 24 projects and the presentations, which improves year after year”. For Romero, “the goal is to have 3,000 startups in Catalonia by 2030, but above all that they should be technologically differential because they are a fundamental axis to build the society of the future”.

Throughout the two days, ACCIÓ also organized more than 600 meetings between investors and entrepreneurs with the aim of boosting their search for funding.

TSB24 – DAY 1 | Disruptive technologies and investment at Tech Spirit Barcelona 2024

12 December 2024 News Tech Spirit Barcelona

Maria Galindo, Secretary of Polítiques Digitals of the Generalitat de Catalunya; Laia Bonet, primera teniente a alcalde of Ajuntament de Barcelona; and Miguel Vicente, President of Tech Barcelona, kicked off ‘the most technological edition of the event’.
This fifth edition, which once again brings together Barcelona’s technological and digital ecosystem, coincides with the arrival of the European Union’s first ‘AI Factory’ in the city and the biggest public and private funding opportunities for startups to date.

Barcelona, December 11, 2024. –The fifth edition of Tech Spirit Barcelona, the event promoted by the Tech Barcelona association with the aim of bringing together and boosting the technological and digital ecosystem, has begun with an outstanding turnout of entrepreneurs, investors and corporations, reinforcing Barcelona’s position as a centre of attraction for talent, investment and the development of technology companies. The event organisers expect to reach tomorrow the almost 4.000 attendees registered at the previous edition.

The institutional inauguration was attended by Maria Galindo, Secretary for Polítiques Digitals of the Generalitat de Catalunya; Laia Bonet, primera tinent d’alcalde of Ajuntament de Barcelona; and Miguel Vicente, President of Tech Barcelona. After the official opening, the event kicked off with a programme that will run until tomorrow, with 60 content sessions distributed between the CaixaBank Stage and Tech Barcelona Stage, as well as a dozen workshops and parallel events. In the presentations, 150 experts will analyse the present and future of the technology ecosystem, Barcelona’s position on the European scene and national and international investment trends, as well as sharing success stories of startups, corporations and investors.

‘This fifth edition is the most technological to date’, stressed Miguel Vicente. Deeptech technologies, such as artificial intelligence and quantum computing, took centre stage, coinciding with the announcement of the arrival of one of the first AI Factories in the European Union in Barcelona, promoted by the Barcelona Supercomputing Center, which will bring an investment of 200 million euros. During one of the first morning sessions, the centre’s director Mateo Valero and professor Paco Solé Parellada stressed the need to ‘turn Barcelona into the city of artificial intelligence and chips’.

In this sense, both public and private investment will play an essential role in the development of technology-based projects. In 2025, there is a historic opportunity for public funding for startups, thanks to the creation of the largest investment vehicles ever recorded. These will be led by the European NextGeneration funds and programmes promoted by Enisa, Red es, CDTI, Axis, Cofides, Barcelona Activa and the Generalitat de Catalunya, through the Institut Català de Finances and the Fons d’Inversió en Tecnologia Avançada (FITA). Borja Cabezón, CEO of Enisa, took the opportunity to announce that its funds ‘will be available throughout 2025’.

In the private sector, investor Carlos Trenchs pointed out that ‘the deeptech market is the whole world’. This global interest in the innovations that have emerged in Barcelona was evident in the participation of fifteen prominent international investors, including Frank Bulens (imec expand), Ben Marrell (Breega), Marcus Feuerecker (YZR) and Johan Campe (Claret).

Another main character of the day was artificial intelligence. According to expert Aleix Valls, while 2024 was the year of ‘discovery and amazement’, 2025 will mark the beginning of ‘adoption’. During the event, Amazon Web Services has positioned itself as a leader in the application of generative AI in business, while other corporations such as Damm, Nestlé, Seat, Beko and Esade have also begun this process of integration through open innovation models. The global consulting firm Mind The Bridge, which last week named Tech Barcelona ‘Startup Ecosystem Star’ in Paris, has shown updated data on Barcelona companies in the race for open innovation, placing them at the head of European ecosystems.

The CaixaBank Stage also gave recognition to Barcelona’s ‘local heroes’. Among them, Elisenda Bou-Balust, who managed to get the attention of a giant like Apple for her startup Vilnyx; Marta Estarellas, CEO of Qilimanjaro and a consolidated key figure in quantum computing in Catalonia; and Andrea Gamero, who from her management position at Google has defended the importance of breaking the glass ceiling in the technology sector.

The programme was completed by Xavier Asensi, co-president of Inter Miami, who connected live to explain how he has taken David Beckham and Messi’s team to the highest business and sporting level; Quim Domènech and Sara Pastor, from DAZN, who shared the challenge of turning brands into connecting pieces with sports fans; and Pablo Pantaleoni, CDO of LifeStanceHealth, who, also from Miami, encouraged entrepreneurs in the world of health to ‘have clear objectives, trust in themselves and remain optimistic during the process’.

During this first day, and with the aim of boosting the ecosystem and facilitating the raising of funding by Catalan start-ups, ACCIÓ also organised the first phase of the Catalan Pitch Competition, in which 27 start-ups explained their business model in one minute. The final of the competition will be held tomorrow to decide the Catalan Startup of the Year.

The fifth edition of Tech Spirit Barcelona has the support of ACCIÓ (Generalitat de Catalunya), Ajuntament de Barcelona, CaixaBank, Port de Barcelona, Institut Català de Finances, Adevinta, Amazon Web Services, BME, Danone, Damm, EAE Business School, Eurecat, Freenow, Fundación Albertis, GCO Ventures, G-P, HP, Iris, La Vanguardia, Mango, McCann, Mind The Bridge, Mobile World Capital Barcelona, Naturgy, Nestlé, Payment Innovation Hub, RCD, SCCE, Seat Code, Estrella Damm, Nespresso and Mindset Consulting.
