Hướng dẫn bắt đầu một Origin
Tìm hoặc bắt đầu một Origin tại Barcelona
Barcelona’s startup scene has grown around the 22@ innovation district in Poblenou, where old textile factories now house accelerators, venture funds, and thousands of startups. The city’s strengths are visible in its companies: mobility, health tech, SaaS, and marketplaces, with a strong international founder community drawn by the climate and quality of life. Mobile World Congress puts the city on the global calendar every spring and keeps a year-round buzz of side events. Coworking spaces across Poblenou and El Born host founder breakfasts, pitch evenings, and demo days, while UPC and Pompeu Fabra feed graduates into early teams. The community is genuinely international — English is common in meetups, and Catalan and Spanish both appear depending on the room. The Mediterranean rhythm shapes the scene: events are relaxed, punctuality is flexible, and rooftop terraces are as important as boardrooms. Starting a startup Origin in Barcelona works best with a narrow vertical and a regular rhythm — a monthly mobility founders table or an AI builders night builds a loyal following faster than a generalist group.
