Success story: Aticco Workspaces hosts the Toyota Startup Awards

Toyota Motor Europe has partnered with the ISDI accelerator to find innovative solutions within the inclusive mobility sector. Both organized the Toyota Startup Awards, a technology awards focused on the mobility of people. Toyota was looking for a spacious and innovative space and decided on Aticco Workspaces.

Among more than 200 startup applications from more than 45 countries, the company selected eight projects related to Inclusive Mobility. Toyota decided to look for a space within the Barcelona startup ecosystem to carry out the event. A space that was 100% inclusive in terms of mobility, where the booths of the startups that had been designed could be installed, and had complementary spaces for meetings between startups and investors, the jury's deliberation, and a space for interviews, among others.

Aticco Workspaces and the event

The event lasted 2 days: the first day was an internal meeting for about 40 attendees; during the second day, the startups presented their projects with a pitch to investors, and finally, the final and the awards ceremony were held. 

To solve the space challenge, it was agreed to use a multipurpose space that stands out for its natural light, innovative design, and bar service for attendees. The activities that brought together more people were carried out there. For small satellite meetings, the Toyota and ISDI team had several meeting rooms and private offices at their disposal.

In addition, the seventh-floor terrace was used as a complementary space for networking, where a cocktail menu was served while enjoying background music.

Toyota wanted to broadcast the final of the Toyota Startups Awards via streaming through its networks. Aticco was in charge of the technical material and the staff specialized in high-quality streaming, which ensured that the final was visible from all over the world.

The event was a success, and all the organizers were very satisfied with both the space and the management of our team to ensure that everything was perfect.

For us, it was a pleasure to host an event of this magnitude, and especially to enjoy a project based on social impact and inclusivity.
