The 2023 edition of the two shows brought together 88,500 visitors and 2,400 exhibitors from 202 countries. There were more than 28,000 companies on site.
Let’s meet in Barcelona, where the European Tech community will shape the future and bring together innovative startups, technology hubs, startup accelerators and incubators, public agencies, corporations and SMEs, coworking spaces and universities!

Numerous activities are organised in this sense: awards, workshops, pitching sessions,…
