Barcelona’s tech ecosystem is hot!

The US magazine Wired has just announced the ‘100 hottest startups’ in Europa in 2022 selected in ten cities: London, Paris, Berlin, Barcelona, Lisbon, Stockholm, Amsterdam, Tel Aviv, Helsinki and Dublin. For Wired, Barcelona “is a global hub for investors, startups and companies looking for sunny climes and a business-friendly environment”. With more than 1,900 startups in Catalonia, Barcelona “attracts international talent because of its lifestyle, the strength of the ecosystem and the presence of international companies,” explains Miquel Martí, CEO of Tech Barcelona, interviewed for the article.

These are the 10 hottest startups in Barcelona in 2022, according to Wired:
