The platform for innovation and startups 4YFN will return, for the second year in a row, to the heart of MWC Barcelona. The eighth edition will be held between 28th February and 3rd March in pavilion 6 of Fira Gran Vía to connect startups, scaleups, investors, institutions and many other players.
As since its inception, Banco Sabadell’s BStartup will support once again the event as Platinum Sponsor of #4YFN22 and will actively participate in the initiative, focusing on providing added value to the conference and sharing its experience and success stories accumulated since Banco Sabadell created this programme for entrepreneurs and young companies.
4YFN: connecting startups at MWC Barcelona
This year, 4YFN will focus its activity on four key topics:
- Technological humanism: it will analyse how innovation influences humanity and society in general.
- Founders: a forum in which founders, financiers and experts will share their ideas and advice.
- Funding & Corporate Venturing: a forum in which the best practices on design, implementation and programme execution will be shared.
- Creative minds: creative leaders will explore the latest trends in culture and entertainment.
In addition to the new topics that are incorporated into this great innovation platform, attendees will be able to find specific session on various verticals, such as digital health, impact, frontier technologies, financial or sport technologies. All these topics will be covered by more than 300 speakers, among them Sasha Michaud, co-founder of Glovo, Francesca Bria, President of the Italian National Innovation Fund, Zoe Peden, Lead at Ananda Impact Ventures and Judit Carrera, Director of CCCB, among many others.
Over 500 international startups will exhibit their latest products at 4YFN and more than 200 will pitch at the Discovery Area Pitching Stage, where some of Banco Sabadell BStartup’s investees will also participate.
