Fest-UP Barcelona Announces the 2014 Fall Edition Heroes

Fest-UP is Barcelona’s startup community festival – an opportunity for the entire Barcelona Startup Ecosystem to share their knowledge, showcase their projects and make new connections within our vibrant entrepreneurial community.

In May 2014, more than 3.000 people attended at least one of  the 45 events held in 22 locations across Barcelona – all focused on one goal: Uniting Our Entrepreneurial Ecosystem.

To keep the spirit going strong, Fest-UP Fall Edition will take place on Thursday & Friday, November 27th & 28th to celebrate the official launch of the Barcelona Growth Centre.  In order to make an event such as Fest-UP possible, we reached out to key stakeholders in the Barcelona Startup Community. The following organizations continue to show their support and help make Barcelona one of the most exciting and attractive cities in the world to launch a business!

Across Legal – One of the most trusted, startup-focused legal teams in Spain, Across Legal has guided dozens of Barcelona ventures through fundraising rounds, international compliance and intellectual property best practices. Startups go through many phases, good times and bad. You want the experts at Across Legal in corner.

Barcelona Activa – Finding the words to describe the impact Barcelona Activa has had on our city is an impossible task.  For almost 30 years, Activa has provided the necessary resources to build new companies, create new jobs and foster the growth of Europe’s Innovation Capital.

Barcelona Ventures is emerging as Barcelona’s most effective bridge to Silicon Valley. With their extensive US network, top-notch legal partners and vast immigration experience, Barcelona Ventures is valuable launchpad to open operations in the US.

Part innovation lab, part business incubator, and part community center, Impact Hub Barcelona offers members a unique ecosystem of resources, inspiration, and collaboration opportunities to grow impact.

Mobile World Capital – The amazing team behind the fantastically successful 4 Years From Now event did not hesitate to support Fest-UP from the very start (and save the day at the 11th hour).  Mobile World Capital is the permanent organization devoted to ensuring Barcelona’s future as the capital of mobile for decades to come.

These are the Heroes of the Barcelona Startup Community and the Official Sponsors of the 2014 Fest-UP Fall Edition.
