Seeking Tomorrow's Pioneers

The initiative focuses on discovering start-ups in a critical development stage: the late seed or pre-Series A phase.

- Accelerated Product Development: An opportunity to quickly turn innovative ideas into practice.
- Increased Visibility: Participation in significant industry events like the 4YFN (MWC) provides a platform for international presence.
- Financial Support: Access to up to 10,000 Euros to realize the projects.
- Investor Attraction: Participation raises the attention of potential investors.
- Expansion of Service Offerings: An opportunity to broaden and diversify one's offerings.

A Synergistic Partnership with Wayra

Collaborating with Wayra opens up the start-ups to a comprehensive ecosystem of open innovation. This includes the chance to participate in corporate events, network with experts and leaders, and potentially receive investments from Wayra.

Invitation to Participate

PortAventura World and Wayra call on visionary start-ups to present their ideas and jointly shape the future of the amusement park industry. This is a unique opportunity to be part of a movement aimed at transforming the entertainment landscape sustainably.
