Albert Cortez (MongoDB) presents a session on moving from traditional systems of record to agentic AI-powered systems of action, where intelligence layers augment existing data to enable real-time, smarter decisions. Attendees will learn how to unify legacy systems with live agent interactions, apply semantic and governance layers for business context and compliance, and explore real-world demos showing AI orchestrating enterprise workflows. The session targets AI professionals, engineers, and executives looking to turn AI capabilities into measurable outcomes.

After the event, you will be able to join Tech Barcelona’s Pier01 Afterwork at Pier01’s terrace to find out about tech projects in the pitching session and, after that, enjoy networking with a Damm beer and great views of downtown.

Angel investing isn’t just about picking great startups — it’s about building a portfolio that can withstand uncertainty and compound over time.

In “Portfolio Power: How Smart Angels Reduce Risk Through Diversification,” we’ll break down how experienced angel investors think about diversification across stages, sectors, geographies, and check sizes — and why portfolio construction is just as important as deal selection.

This session is designed for current and aspiring angel investors who want to move beyond intuition and learn practical strategies to reduce risk, manage exposure, and increase the odds of strong outcomes over the long run. Expect real examples, honest trade-offs, and actionable insights you can apply to your own investment strategy.

On February 19, 2026, the BioRegion of Catalonia Report 2025 will be presented at the l’Illa Auditorium in Barcelona.

The event will feature institutional representation from the Government of Catalonia, a presentation of the BioRegion’s key indicators, and several panel discussions. Published since 2009 by Biocat, it is the official reference report for the life sciences and health sector in Catalonia.

IEBS Business School is organizing the Trends Summit 2026, an online event that will take place on Thursday, February 26 at 6:00 p.m. (Spain time). The event will focus on the key trends that are already impacting companies and professionals.

The summit will bring together experts in economics, artificial intelligence, talent, and marketing from KPMG, Metricool, knowmad mood, PwC, among others. They will share how they are interpreting the current context and which strategic decisions are being made today with a view toward 2026.

A space to understand the context and make informed decisions

The world no longer changes through predictable cycles, but through economic, technological, social, and cultural signals that are already shaping the direction of the coming years. In this scenario, the organizations and professionals that move forward are not those who try to predict the future, but those who are able to read the context early and connect trends with real decisions.

​Let’s rethink security for the quantum era together! 

​Quantum computing isn’t just a breakthrough in computing, it’s a turning point for security.

​Not tomorrow, not in a movie, but fast enough to start questioning the assumptions behind today’s protection models.

• ​What happens to the security frameworks we rely on today?

• ​When should companies start preparing?

• ​Is post-quantum security urgency or overreaction?

​We’re hosting an evening to explore these questions in a clear, engaging way.

​You’ll hear from Jordi Puiggalí, Co-founder & CTO of Secrets Vault, a recognized expert in cybersecurity and cryptography with more than 30 years of experience across IT, cryptography and blockchain. Jordi has authored 50+ research publications and holds 50 patents in cryptographic protocols and secure technologies, with notable work in areas such as election security and secure digital systems.

​He’ll explain what the quantum transition means from a security perspective, why it matters for real-world infrastructures, and how organizations can approach it with strategy rather than fear.

​What we’ll explore:

• ​ Why quantum computing reshapes the future of cybersecurity

• ​ The real risk behind “harvest now, decrypt later”

• ​ Where post-quantum security standards stand today

• ​ What this means for data protection, digital trust and long-term resilience

• ​ How to start preparing without disrupting your current security architecture

​No hype, no fear-mongering, just a smart conversation about what’s next!

​Agenda:

​19:00 – Welcome

​19:30 – Security talk by Jordi

​20:00 – Roundtable (TBC)

​20:30 – Drinks & networking

​Join us for quantum beers, they’re full and empty until you take a sip!

​Register now for a smart, relaxed evening with people who care about where security is heading with good conversations, great company and a few surprises along the way (limited availability). Registration is required to access the location.

Before FFX Barcelona, join EIT Community Supernovas, SIA – Startup Investor Accelerator, and Norrsken Barcelona for an exclusive Women Investors Cocktail. Sharp minds, real conversations, zero awkward small talk – drinks are on you, conversations are on us.

Who’s in the room?

​A carefully curated group of 25 women investors from venture capital, angel investing, corporate venture, impact investing, and private equity. Whether you’re scouting co-investment opportunities, swapping war stories from the deal table, or simply expanding your circle across Europe, this evening is for you.

​How to get in?

​Spots are limited and by application only.

AI is already in the investment room. The question is whether it’s helping your judgment or quietly inheriting old biases.

Yes, AI boosts speed and productivity. It can even surface blind spots. But it’s not neutral. With only 1 in 7 VC investors in Europe being women and just ~2% of funding going to women-founded startups, AI will copy yesterday’s patterns unless we tell it otherwise.

This intimate online workshop is about using AI as a tool, not a crystal ball.

👩‍💼 Exclusive to women investors
