​Barcelona & Catalonia Startup Hub, the Catalan startups showcase
At the end of last year, the Government of Catalonia presented the Barcelona & Catalonia Startup Hub, a virtual tool that identifies more than 1,000 Catalan startups with high growth potential. This platform was created with the aim of promoting the Catalan startup ecosystem internationally and to be a factor in investment attraction into these companies.

The startups.catalonia.com platform is the result of a year-long analysis to select and to get a clear picture of the startup community in Catalonia, one of the most dynamic in Europe. In fact, Barcelona is the 5th European region in terms of startups in accordance with various international rankings, such as EU-Startups or Startup Heatmap Europe.

The directory includes startups already established, emerging companies, no more than 10 years old, with a scalable business model, repeatable and applicable to global environments, aimed at rapid growth and founded by entrepreneurs (not corporations). The platform includes today the profile of 1,107 startups and also publishes the latest investment operations in Catalan startups as well as the operations known as exits (companies that have been purchased or have started trading on the stock exchange). 

According to the platform, Catalan startups total nearly 10,000 workers and a global turnover of some 1,300 million euros. The majority work in the sectors of Internet and mobile software, ecommerce, tourism and leisure, big data and eHealth.
