Here participants will be able to connect with key strategic decision makers such as product and technology leaders, investors and representatives of promising start-ups.
Rasmus Sojmark, CEO & Founder of SBC, commented: “In a landscape where technology evolves at such a rate, we think it’s extremely important to provide delegates with a dedicated arena to remain at the forefront of the latest technological strides.
“Beyond the designated zone, this year’s agenda strongly highlights AI, web3, and an array of technological advancements. However, this platform is thoughtfully inclusive, serving companies of diverse backgrounds and interests. It provides a streamlined path for each participant to quickly adapt to the changing landscape, helping them stay current and avoid falling behind.”
The zone will also host the SBC First Pitch Barcelona, supported by Yolo Investments, where five startups from different industries will present their products and services to investors and the audience in attendance. This will give them the opportunity to win an exclusive prize package worth over €60,000.
“At SBC, we believe it is crucial to champion the future of the industry, and we are delighted to give promising start-up companies exposure on a global scale while ushering in the next generation of innovative technology and services,”- continued Sojmark .
