4YFN: connecting startups at MWC Barcelona

This year, 4YFN will focus on four key topics:                   

  • Technological Humanism: It will analyse how innovation influences humanity and society
  • Founders: Where founders, sponsors and experts will share their ideas and advice
  • Funding & Corporate Venturing: Where best practices on programme design, implementation and execution will be shared
  • Creative Minds: Where creative leaders will explore the latest trends in culture and entertainment.

In addition to the new topics added to this great platform for innovation, attendees will be able to find specific sessions on different verticals such as: digital health, impact, leading-edge technology, financial technology and sports. All these topics will be addressed by more than 300 speakers, including Sasha Michaud, co-founder of Glovo, Francesca Bria, President of Italian National Innovation Fund, Zoe Peden, Principal at Ananda Impact Ventures, and Judit Carrera, Director of CCCB, among others.

More than 500 international startups will be showcasing their latest products at 4YFN, and more than 200 will be featured at the Discovery Area Pitching Stage, where some of the startups participated by BStartup from Banco Sabadell will be found.
