A 2024 full of events and a much better 2025
2024 has been an extraordinary year for Aticco. We have launched events, participated in international fairs, and strengthened our community with unique initiatives that have allowed entrepreneurs and companies to connect, learn, and grow. More than 150 events and training sessions have taken place in our spaces, collaborating with leaders such as Google, Revolut, Factorial, and many more. We have brought together the local ecosystem, inviting emerging and established startups, and the international ecosystem, with a global commitment that makes Aticco the meeting point for innovation and growth.
From round tables to specialized training and networking events, we have created unforgettable moments so that each member of our community finds inspiration and real opportunities. If this year seemed crazy to you, wait for the next one: 2025 promises to elevate the experience, with more quality, more connections, and an agenda full of activities for all tastes. The adventure has only just begun!
Startup Talks: More quality, more networking, more connections
At Aticco, we are always focused on providing an environment of learning and connection. This year, our Startup Talks have not only featured high quality speakers, but we have also raised the level of networking by filling event after event on one of Poblenou's most emblematic terraces. In addition, Aticco Bailén has been crowned as one of the centers with more round tables.
The most talked-about topics have been employee experience and human resources, sales, artificial intelligence, and the startup ecosystem with companies such as Revolut, Portaventura, The Brandguard, Payfit, Factorial, and Google.

Aticco Talks: Knowledge takes up no space
Diversity and quality have been the driving forces behind our Aticco Talks in 2024, with a range of topics that satisfy the Aticco community. In case you're new around here, every week we offer training and workshops of all kinds, because there's no accounting for taste, and if today I can learn about storytelling and tomorrow about investment rounds, all the better.
And yes, at Aticco we have a very large and diverse community and to make it happy we have to diversify the content. But on the other hand, year after year we are more surprised at how very different profiles come together in very specific talks, both to improve their skills and to learn something new. As we have already said, knowledge takes up no space.
Presence at Trade Fairs: Madrid, Barcelona and Valencia
In 2024, Aticco has been present at the most important fairs in the business and technology ecosystem, from 4YFN at the Mobile World Congress to the Valencia Digital Summit, positioning itself in the key cities of Spain.
BizBarcelona
On October 23rd and 24th, BizBarcelona transformed the Fira de Barcelona into the innovation hub for entrepreneurs. As a main sponsor, Aticco made its presence felt with a booth that reflected our essence: from a chill zone to a ping-pong table, creating the perfect environment to connect and generate synergies.
During the two days, we organized talks and activities to inspire startups and growing companies, addressing key issues in the entrepreneurial ecosystem. BizBarcelona reaffirmed our role as a reference in coworking and our commitment to the innovative community of Barcelona.
4YFN
This year we didn't miss the 4YFN either, where we offered mentoring to international startups to enter the Spanish market with the help of the mentoring network of AticcoLab. We also did an interview with Oriol de Pablo, CEO of VICIO so that he could tell us his success stories and the previous ones of not (so) much success. Within the framework of the fair, we organized a networking event at Aticco Bogatell where we were able to get out of the Fira de Barcelona a little and connect in another more relaxed environment, with live music, views and good people. What else is needed?
Smart City Expo World Congress (SCEWC)
Aticco has a long history at the Smart City Expo World Congress, participating with workshops, its own stand, or, as we did in its latest edition, organizing a pitch competition for startups committed to sustainability within the framework of Tomorrow Building. We selected six international startups with innovative solutions for the green and digital transformation of the buildings of the future.
South Summit (Madrid)
We can't miss Madrid either. The South Summit is one of the most important networking events for the ecosystem held in Madrid. In addition to participating in the fair with our own stand, we took advantage of the terrace at Aticco María de Molina to bring together more than 350 attendees in an environment of collaboration and festivity.
Valencia Digital Summit
With our expansion in Valencia and the opening of Aticco Colón, we could not miss the opportunity to present at the Valencia Digital Summit. Valencia Digital Summit. The week started with a networking event in our new space, where we were able to connect with the local community thanks to our partners Aktion Legal Partners, Letslaw and Mahou San Miguel.
We made a grand debut by organizing two round tables at our stand to discuss venture capital and the innovation ecosystem in Valencia. This first step in Valencia reaffirmed Aticco's commitment to the city's ecosystem and its new commitment to a strategic location.
Startups and investment in the spotlight
In addition to all the fairs in which we have participated, the team from AticcoLab and Aticco Ventures, our startup accelerator and networking community, has been present at key events such as the Ibiza Tech Forum, Startup Olé in Salamanca and Waykup in Murcia. At each of them, we have had the opportunity to connect with investors, discover new startups with great potential and strengthen our relationships in the Spanish innovation ecosystem. These meetings not only allow us to identify emerging talent and disruptive projects, but also to create synergies and open new doors for future collaborations. We love being an active part of these growth spaces and seeing how our contact networks expand more and more.
Barcelona Finance Hub by Aticco: Barcelona on the FinTech sector map
It's no longer news, but this year Aticco has inaugurated the Barcelona Finance Hub by Aticco, a connection space for companies, organizations and people in the financial innovation sector. Its purpose goes beyond workspaces and meeting points. The BFH has started with an unstoppable agenda of weekly events dedicated to enriching the ecosystem with training on the finances of the present and the future.
2025, a year of growth and expansion
And if you're enjoying this, it's just the beginning. New projects are in the works, and here's a hint: HR fans, we have something prepared for you, stay tuned! In 2025, quality will be our top priority at all our events, with top-level speakers and the participation of leading figures in key areas.

Our agenda at Aticco will be busier than ever, with varied events covering current issues, practical training, and the latest trends in the startup and entrepreneurship ecosystem. We delve into areas such as technological innovation, sustainable growth, leadership, and much more. And, of course, the best networking will not be missing! Each event will be an open door to connect with other professionals, collaborate, and create opportunities together.
