03Who it's for

4 audiences

The reference summit for Spanish talent.

What each group takes away:

For Founders

  • Access to Bay Area investors already backing Spanish-founded companies.
  • Introductions we make deliberately, not a badge in a crowd.
  • A stage to showcase your company to the partners and press who matter most.
  • Peer access to founders further along the same path, from Spain to Silicon Valley.

For Investors

  • First look at the Spanish founders and companies building for the AI era.
  • A concentrated two days with the deal flow that usually takes a dozen flights to Spain.
  • Co-investment conversations with the Bay Area funds already active in Spain.
  • Sessions with the people setting Spain's technology and investment policy.

For Leaders

  • A seat among the executives and policymakers setting Spain's technology agenda.
  • Frank, off-record conversation with Silicon Valley counterparts.
  • A platform to align public and private strategy on AI and talent.
  • A standing relationship with the Bay Area, not a one-time visit.

For the next generation

  • A seat in the room with the founders, executives and investors you have only read about.
  • A chance to carry what you see here back to your university in Spain.
  • Direct contact with Spanish operators who made the same move a decade earlier.
  • A network that stays with you long after the two days end.
