Once again, the Euskalduna Palace in Bilbao will be immersed in innovation, entrepreneurship, finance and ideas during the two days of October. It will be an ecosystem divided into several spaces, but with a very practical approach.

In the previous four editions, more than 400 startups have participated. Of these, 96 were selected to take part in the competition, and their projects were presented to some of the largest corporations, investors and venture capital companies: Indra, CAF Ventures, Acciona, Microsoft, Iberdrola, Metxa, BStartup, Laboral Kutxa, Plug & Play Spain, Shuttle or Adara Ventures, among others.

This year, the stakeholder initiative can be included in the B-Venture Program in one of two categories:

• 'Early Stage': Legally constituted projects with an identified business opportunity, innovative nature and scalability.
• 'Growth': businesses with a national or international projection, business viability and a significant market share
• The interested party cannot rule out this option, as the selected startups will have the following benefits:
• Company report in El Correo.
• Training program (8 sessions, optional)
• Pitch in front of investors and companies.
• Exhibit in the exhibition space.
• Private meetings with investors.
• And much more
