The BIND 4.0 program
Bind 4.0 is a 24-week acceleration program where startups, in addition to developing a remunerated project of up to € 150,000 with one of the collaborating industrial companies, have an intensive program of support services and activities.
BIND 4.0 has a double objective: From the point of view of startups, in addition to the usual services offered by any accelerator (workspaces, training, mentoring, grants, financing ...) BIND 4.0 allows startups to start working, in a client-provider format (with a remunerated contract), with one or more of the companies collaborating with the program.
From the point of view of the collaborating companies, the program offers them the chance to meet the most innovative startups in the industry 4.0 worldwide, in such a way that they can hire their talent, technology and / or solutions, in order to improve the competitiveness of your company.
Euskadi, a benchmark for technological and advanced entrepreneurship
BIND 4.0 is a strategic bet of the country that seeks to place Euskadi on the world map of advanced entrepreneurship. The Euskadi Business Agency (SPRI) coordinates this program for the Department of Economic Development and Infrastructure of the Basque Government, with the collaboration of the BIC-Business Centers and Innovation and the Provincial Councils. BIND 4.0 stands out from other startup accelerators due to its public-private nature and is also the first accelerator in the world that guarantees startups access to industrial clients at the highest level.
