Starting on May 5th, 2014, the Barcelona startup community will come together for one week of events, workshops, competitions and fun to celebrate our growing ecosystem and toast to our promising future. With 45 events in 20 venues across the city, Fest-UP is making history as Barcelona’s first crowdsourced startup festival!
WHY FEST-UP?
Thanks to Mobile World Capital, the main stage has been set, but the beauty of Fest-UP is that the community makes the rules. For instance, local leaders such as Barcelona Activa, itnig, capside, Incubio, and Incubaeco have already shown their support and opened their doors for Fest-UP activities. However, there are no restrictions to new venues or creative events. The mission of Fest-UP is to provide a platform for our community to collaborate, share ideas, and simply get to know our neighbors.
