ICEX-Invest in Spain, IDB LAB and Endeavor are launching the third edition of the ESPAÑA-LATAM SCALE-UP programme, aimed at a selection of start-ups and scale-ups from Latin America and the Caribbean, with the aim of raising awareness of the opportunities and steps needed to establish themselves in Spain as a bridge to global expansion.

Fourteen Latin American start-ups have been selected to participate in 2024 out of nearly three hundred applications received. They are start-ups with a turnover of between $85,000 and $1.4 million, between 6 and 60 employees and operating in several international markets.

 

During the immersion programme, the winning startups will have a broad and in-depth knowledge of the main players in the Spanish entrepreneurship ecosystem.

 

More than thirty speakers from the Spanish entrepreneurship ecosystem will participate, among them the main actors of the entrepreneurship ecosystem, including financial institutions, venture capital (VC) funds, companies with open innovation processes and successful startups in Spain, both Spanish and Latin American.

 

The opening day, which will take place on 14 October at the ICEX headquarters, will be attended by the CEO of ICEX, Elisa Carbonell, the representative of BID Europe, Fazia Pusterla, and the Director General of Endeavor Spain, Antonio Iglesias.

 

The programme will take place between 13 and 18 October in Madrid and Valencia (with the possibility of extension to Malaga, Bilbao and Barcelona), in collaboration with leading players in the Spanish entrepreneurship ecosystem.

 

The startups will receive key information on the business climate in Spain and will be able to discuss with experts the legal, operational and technological aspects necessary to establish themselves in Spain as a bridge for the global expansion of their business. They will also benefit from free legal services and contacts with major Spanish companies.
