On Thursday 28 November at 8:45am we will celebrate a very special 22@Breakfast. The #184 22@Breakfast will be the final session of START 2024 and its award ceremony.

When the Entrepreneurship Commission was created, one of the main challenges was to position the association as a gathering place and environment of opportunities for all the agents of the city's entrepreneurial ecosystem, as well as building the story of entrepreneurship in the 22 @. It is for this reason that the 22@START awards were created. This award rewards the best startup and entrepreneur spirit of the district. Its objective is to recognize the initiative and the value of the effort, as well as to promote the entrepreneurial fabric.

The start-ups will make their pitch and the jury, composed by the following persons, will then deliberate and vote for the best start-up.

The jury is composed of:

Xavier Simó, President of the Entrepreneurship Commission and President of INLEA
Susana Prado, President - 22@Network Barcelona
Isabel Sabadí, Director - 22@Network Barcelona
Carlos Solana, Web3, Virtual Economy & Metaverse Director - Mediapro
Montse Basora, Director of Business Services - Barcelona Activa
