CodeLaunch Accelerator’s Post

We're featured in El Mundo! 📣📣 El Mundo, one of Spain’s leading newspapers, has published an article about Xiji Incubator, and we couldn’t be prouder. It highlights how, through the incubator and Universidad Politécnica de Madrid, we support Spanish tech startups in China. In the article, I share how we enable startups to #leverage #China’s resources for rapid prototyping, efficient manufacturing, and tapping into the world’s most advanced digital ecosystem. Xavier Ferre highlights the role of AI in cross-border projects and the importance of Shanghai’s regulatory environment, while our entrepreneurs share insights about their startups and how China is accelerating their growth. A big thank you to El Mundo and Lucas de la Cal for this incredible feature! Don’t miss the full story: https://lnkd.in/dFF8dPH6

Heads up #entrepreneurs and #Transformation leaders: It seems that moving from MVP to MVS (segment) really resonated in my last talk. MVS means not focusing solely on the state of your product as a “problem-solver-hero” 🦸♂️, but focusing on the clients (again, hopefully for you 😉): 1- their profile 2- their pain points you will solve 3- business case and figures you bring out 4- their budget and momentum 5- communication channel that will impact them Thanks Nacho Sánchez (Senda) for attending and spreading my message further. Onward and upward!

For the second year in a row, Vulkano⚡was present at Asociación Nacional de CEEIs (ANCES) OPEN INNOVATION awards ceremony 🎉 On this instance, we did not participate in any company’s challenge, but we were part of the open innovation round table -startup's perspective- with Ayim Manuel de la Fuente 💡 During the discussion, we highlighted the importance of programs like ANCES OPEN INNOVATION, which act as a bridge for many tech startups with disruptive products to solve challenges and problems faced by large corporations. We also talked about the importance of corporates having team members who advocate for innovation and understand the specific needs of startups, enabling fruitful and long-term collaboration.🤝 Notable examples are Ormazabal, with Koldo Atxutegi, or CAPSA FOOD with Rubén Hidalgo, demonstrating how collaboration and open innovation can create impactful opportunities and solutions in their companies. 🚀 It was a pleasure to see many familiar faces again. Álvaro Simón De Blas Phd Cristina Fanjul Alonso or Luis Fraga. It has been a magnificent event! #OpenInnovation #Startups #Technology #Collaboration #ANCESOpenInnovation #Vulkano

This week we had the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona. Although the situation for #startups is surely not the best, the perception we have is that the market continues to advance with new interesting proposals thanks to technology and that the definition of a given activity by a company is increasingly diffuse Without a doubt, one of the most developed use cases in the coming years will be those related to #health and #mobility, two problems on the rise. #MWC2024

Last week, in our hometown of Valencia, we attended VDS 2024, a focal event for global tech and innovation. Over two intensive days at the City of Arts and Sciences, we explored how #AI, sustainability, and emerging technologies are reshaping the future. We listened to leaders like Steve Chen, YouTube co-founder, Randi Zuckerberg, and Juan Antonio Samaranch, VP of the Committee (IOC), who shared insights on modern tech’s challenges and opportunities. The event also introduced us to disruptive startups like ADBioplastics, PlayFilm, Sekond, Kronis, Sharpei or Amazinglers, ESPAI AERO COMUNITAT VALENCIANA, Darwin Bioprospecting Excellence, SL, among others, each paving the way toward a lower-impact future. We were able to share insightful and fun conversations with these talented professionals, leaving us inspired by their vision and commitment. We connected with industry professionals, exchanged knowledge on digital transformation, and, at Desution, reaffirmed our commitment to responsible tech innovation. Thank you, #VDS2024, for the valuable ideas and connections.
