Pier 01, the new Barcelona technology hub
The Barcelona entrepreneurial ecosystem has now a new meeting point: the new Barcelona Tech City association head office inaugurated in late July by the President of Catalonia and the Mayor of the City. Barcelona Tech City is an association open to any players of the digital and technology business operating in Barcelona. It currently counts 330 members.
This head office is located in the iconic 19th century Palau del Mar building in the Barceloneta district, a Port de Barcelona property. This 10,000 sqm space currently hosts 80 start-ups and 1,000 people from the digital and technology sectors. This so-called Pier 01 project is supported by the City Council, the Catalan government and Port de Barcelona.
According to Wallapop and Letsbonus companies founder Miguel Vicente, president of Barcelona Tech City, Pier 01 aims at becoming one of the most important technology hubs in Europe, together with those of Berlin or London.
Companies already installed include start-ups at different progress levels such as Cornerjob, Holaluz, Letgo, Byhours or Tiendeo but also accelerators and incubators such as Conector, Antai Venture Builders, Nuclio, or mVentures from the Mobile World Capital initiative. 50% of the companies are less than 5 years old and 60% have an international presence.
