The seventh Startup OLÉ event will take place from 6 to 10 September 2021 with online and face-to-face activities in Salamanca. This year we will once again participate in the event to showcase some of the projects on which the BISITE Research Group is working.

As in previous events, we look forward to the participation of thousands of attendees, startups, accelerators, corporations, investors, universities and public institutions, who will be looking for synergies and funding opportunities.

Over the last seven years, the event has brought together more than 40,000 attendees from over 120 countries. In addition to the participation of important national and international personalities.

This time the following have confirmed their attendance: The Vice-President of the European Commission for Democracy and Demography, Mrs. Dubravka Šuica; Vice-President of the Commission for Culture and Education and the Mayor of Salamanca, Mr. Carlos Manuel García Carabayo.

This is a new opportunity to create synergies and learn about the latest developments in innovation, entrepreneurship and technology. We will make the most of it!
