F10 Spain announces seven growth-stage WealthTech and RegTech startups selected from over 150 national and international applications, joining the first cohort of its newly designed Acceleration Programs.
The goal of this 3-month program is to accelerate post-revenue startups and to enable them to build successful collaborations with our strategic partners, BME and Renta 4 Banco in Spain, and with the support of our innovation partners, R3 and Julius Baer.
The program starts on September 6 and concludes in November 2021. It aims to develop successful collaborations, implemented through a 360 startup analysis, an in-depth collaboration manual facilitated by an F10 coach, and the regular exchange of knowledge and experiences between startups and corporate partners. Some of the advantages are access to our global services for startups (F10 Academy, online learning, workshops), access to mentors and industry experts, investor match-making, 1:1 coaching, free office space and infrastructure.
Andrea Sanchez, Country Head of F10 Spain mentions that "there is an important challenge in the field of open innovation, and this is the generation of efficient work processes between startups and corporations. In the new F10 program we seek to accelerate collaboration between both parties and help them to optimize resources and identify opportunities that can make a difference in the future. The areas of work will be in WealthTech and RegTech as the market is demanding solutions that offer business models that generate efficiency and improve the consumer experience."
