The future of European innovation also relies on strong cross-border ties. Through collaboration and resource sharing, we can create a more robust and interconnected startup ecosystem. We are eager to continue growing this ecosystem with Maria 01, giving startups access to the resources and connections they need to succeed. Thanks to Sarita Runeberg for the visit — we look forward to heading to Helsinki soon! 🇫🇮💙 #GIFT #InBarcelonaWeTech
On a recent visit to Barcelona, our CEO Sarita Runeberg had the pleasure of reconnecting with our long-time friends at Tech Barcelona. She met with their amazing team to dive deeper into their work supporting and empowering startups — and it’s always inspiring to see the impact they’re making! The conversations sparked exciting ideas on strengthening collaboration between European startup hubs, with a shared vision to supercharge the continent’s innovation ecosystem and elevate Europe’s tech business landscape. Sarita and the Tech Barcelona team exchanged valuable insights on how both Maria 01 in Helsinki and Tech Barcelona foster and sustain thriving partnerships, sharing best practices and strategies to drive even closer cross-border cooperation. Our partnership with Tech Barcelona has been strong for years, but nurturing these international relationships remains invaluable. Through these networks, we help startups open doors to new markets worldwide. A great example of this is when Jack Parker from AIATELLA had the opportunity to speak at a tech conference in Barcelona last year — a connection that helped the company build a solid network in Spain. Sarita also attended a health sector event during her visit and was truly inspired by the innovative solutions local startups are creating to improve health and wellbeing. Here’s to more collaboration, more innovation, and a stronger European startup community! 💡🌱🚀 #Startups #Innovation #Tech #Collaboration #EuropeanEcosystem #Maria01 #TechBarcelona
