Bilbao PortLab to showcase at B-Venture the opportunities it offers for innovation and entrepreneurship

With a view to furthering its efforts to consolidate the innovation ecosystem at the Port of Bilbao and to attracting new start-ups interested in developing future projects in the port, Bilbao PortLab, the innovation and research hub of the Bilbao Port and River Foundation, will have a stand at B-Venture this coming 15 and 16 October.

At the largest entrepreneurship event in the north of Spain, which will bring together at the Euskalduna Congress Centre in Bilbao start-ups, ideas, innovation, entrepreneurs, investors and funding, the Bilbao PortLab delegation will explain how the organisation collaborates with port companies to take forward innovation projects generated internally, attracts external proposals related to the logistics-port sector, and matches up the needs of the port community with start-ups that can provide innovative solutions.

At the event, Bilbao PortLab will also highlight the possibilities provided by the Port of Bilbao not only to serve as a living lab, a real test environment in which start-ups, entrepreneurs and companies can test and develop prototypes, but also to facilitate contacts and partnerships with port companies, to provide a setting in which to develop projects, to support entrepreneurship by helping to draw up individualised work plans, and to invite people to tap into current and future funding opportunities.
