Miguel Vicente, key driver and initial investor in the association, is a successful entrepreneur known for founding companies such as LetsBonus, Glovo, and Wallapop.

Vicente added, “We remain as passionate as we were on day one about strengthening relationships with both public and private stakeholders, becoming a unifying platform for entrepreneurial initiatives that share our DNA. At the same time, we aim to establish new international partnerships to further support startups, corporations, investors, and institutions. Our goal is to keep fostering an environment that nurtures innovation and entrepreneurship, attracting top talent and high-impact projects, increasingly tied to science and technology.”

The new Board of Directors, led by Miguel Vicente as President and Ignasi Costas as Secretary General, maintains the majority of its previous members while incorporating nine new ones, with a strong presence of women and young professionals.

Thanks to its efforts, the organization was recently recognized as a ‘Startup Ecosystem Star’ by the International Chamber of Commerce and Mind The Bridge in Paris. The success of its public-private collaboration, alongside support from key civil society institutions, has helped Barcelona establish itself as a global tech hub.
