The trusted partner for your project
High Performance Center for Entrepreneurs
Many ideas and projects that are viable and scalable fail to be born. This means large opportunity costs for society in loss of ability to generate wealth and new jobs. Up Catalonia confirms this gap and has therefore developed a comprehensive system of support for startup companies connecting science, technology, capital, relevant nodes worldwide, and people with ideas to build a powerful conglomerate of innovation and entrepreneurship. Up Catalonia does not speculate, do business, building the country . We are responsible and we want to generate a significant contribution to the economy better, fairer and more responsible, while more competitive and advanced. That’s why we’re your trusted partner for your entrepreneurship project.
We want your idea to thrive. We are looking for fresh and innovative business ideas aimed to global markets for any industry or final customer. We offer experts to solve specific business challenges.
Learning by doing with our 12-month midwifery program you’ll receive tailored mentorship, hands-on sessions with experts and potential customers, and a unique office space where you’ll work with other smart, talented founders.
We’ve built startups before so we know starting a company is solitary and challenging. Our certified coaches experts in entrepreneurship will accompany you to increase self-awareness, foster your strengths and manage uncertainty.
We invest in you and your project. We’ll work together to establish your company, raising your next round or accessing the market locally and internationally. As a member of Up Catalonia we’ll love to have you around to create new synergies and we’ll find the most suitable networking.

Ecosystem
Here are few reasons to choose us
Being an Up Catalonia project will validate your business, and our network will help you connect with investors when the time is right. Our Demo Day is also a great opportunity to meet and pitch people who might give you good money. Through our distributed sites and you’ll have access to investors in different countries.
We’ll work together on your business and product strategy, growth and metrics, and investor pitches via group and individual sessions facilitated by experienced professionals and entrepreneurs. An assigned certified coach will accompany you to develop your professional skills.
Starting a company is solitary and challenging. Working with other people going through the same challenges makes a huge difference. Founders who’ve gone through our programs tell us that the belonging to a community is extremely valuable. As an african proverb says “To educate a child is needed the whole tribe”.
We believe startups learn more when they work side by side. Many founders say that working with peers maintains self-motivation, fosters synergies and increases productivity. We offer spacious, bright and inspiring spaces in an environment like Sant Cugat (Barcelona), with a large business activity.
We built an important network, startups build relationships and partnerships that wouldn’t be possible at their size without an ecosystem like ours. Need an intro to a customer? Early access to a new platform feature? A test with in a real enviroment? Stuck at the border? We’re here to help you.
Thrive in a real international ecosystem. Globalisation is not just a need or strategy, like you, it’s how we born. English is our “lingua franca” and we look for founders aimed to play in global markets. Our mentors’ll prepare you for the international arena and our ambassadors’ll guide you in different markets.
