Barcelona is ranked number three most attractive startup hub, according to recent numbers of the EU Heatmap. But also the Catalans are excited to collaborate with Flanders.
The startup ecosystem in Flanders has outstanding elements such as a high investment in R&D or the applications of deep tech technologies, elements that we also want to grow in Catalonia.

It's not just about sharing ideas; it's about nurturing a culture of collaboration where diverse strengths unite to overcome challenges and seize opportunities.
But there is even more. Startup Flanders takes the next step. Together with Tech Barcelona, Startup.Flanders signed a bilateral agreement. Tech Barcelona and Startup.Flanders join forces as partners in the field. Together they invest in an international vision for startups to stimulate young entrepreneurship. Together they offer the practical advantages for startups.
Flanders is a European reference in innovation both at the academic level and in technology companies, and for an association like Tech Barcelona, it is very important to reinforce the links and connections with similar European areas.
By joining forces, Startup.Flanders is giving Flemish startups the ecosystem they seek. The bilateral agreement between Startup.Flanders and Tech Barcelona is the start of a longterm collaboration. Both parties will also organize annual events and activities together. The first of which is planned in the sideline of BioEurope coming spring.
