The Biscayan Provincial Council recently presented an entrepreneurship hub that is most connected to the south of Europe. Biscay Startup Bay aims to be an ecosystem to join companies, entrepreneurs and investors, and at the same time wants to join other ecosystems in the world. Unai Rementeria, in the words of the Deputy Mayor of Biscay, "is a necessary tool to create more economic activities and public resources" and "improve people's quality of life."
Rementeria has been pleased that the region has become the "most competitive fiscal territory in the State". "And I do not say that, says the Autonomous Indices of Fiscal Competitiveness." The event was attended by international entrepreneurs and international speakers, such as Maria Benjumea, Travis Sheridan and Ben Strugo.
The incubator aims to connect more than 20 companies, from energy, electricity, mobility or food industry. Silvia Intxaurrondo, the moderator of the event, Bilbao hub, wants to have a node with the "perfect" conditions to create a commercial activity. The Bizkaia hub wants to multiply its activity with other ecosystems.
Ben Strugo, in the words of Sosa-Cardumen's Innovative Director, "We can not only develop for Israel." That is why he has encouraged entrepreneurs to use all the possibilities offered by Israel in the field of entrepreneurship. "Isarel is very technological, but we must learn about science in education," he said. "Bizkaia invests a lot in education, which is the key to innovation".
Travis Sheridan, on the other hand, spoke about how to organize a global and multicorporal hub such as Bilbao. CIC Venture Café Global Ekarte CEO stressed that "Diversity will bring new ideas". New businesses, communities, or governments already have to make it clear that there are many Cambridge and Silicon Valley in the world. "We need to look for solutions anywhere, not just a single country," he said.
Maria Benjuna, Spain startup - Founding South Summit and CEO of Spain Startup talked about this idea. "There is a general belief that the knowledge and experience to go faster should be shared." The core of the operation of an incubator, and an innovative ecosystem, is to achieve a "big business" with a startup company. And if something new, "We have success stories," he said. Win-Win said that these relationships are necessary for corporations.
During the ceremony, the three spoke about their experiences and how the hubs helped them carry out their project.
