From November 2 to 11, 2025, Inaitec will lead the INAITEC Barcelona Mission, in partnership with FAPESC.

Registrations have already closed and the focus is now on preparing the selected companies to experience this transformative journey.
Opportunities in Barcelona
The INAITEC Barcelona Mission takes participants to one of Europe's most advanced innovation cities.

During the mission, companies will engage in business rounds, strategic hubs such as DFactory and the 22@Barcelona district, as well as participation in the SmartCity Expo World Congress.
These environments provide access to global trends in smart cities, digital health, Industry 4.0, and sustainability, creating valuable connections for technology-based startups.

Expected impacts
