Asturias Softlanding Paradise

Land your startup in Asturias this summer

Five intense mornings. A territory to discover.

And a clear route to operate from Asturias

This summer, don’t just come to an event, come and decide if Asturias could be the next chapter for your start-up. Discover the Asturias Softlanding Paradise programme, a 5-day strategic sprint to explore, validate and launch operations in Asturias, promoted by the Regional Ministry of Science, Industry and Employment, led by the European Business and Innovation Centre (CEEI Asturias) and operated in conjunction with Camaleón de Rubik.

For five days, you will work side by side with mentors, public and private agents, and other startups like yours. In addition, you will explore real opportunities, validate your fit and come away with a concrete plan to get started.

Who is it aimed at?

Don’t miss this opportunity if… you are a national or international start-up with a genuine interest in operating from Asturias, with digital and industrial projects related to B2B software development, Industry 4.0, life sciences, energy, smart cities, etc., and you have a team with a product up and running, a pilot ready or in progress.

In short, if you have already moved beyond the idea phase and are thinking about growing, this programme is for you.

How does it work?

Five days and a clear focus.

From 13 to 17 July in the mornings; the start time will be from 10:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m., leaving the afternoons free for meetings with agents, visits to venues, meetings with potential partners, internal team work or simply immersing yourself in the area. We will provide you with contacts and resources; you decide how to activate them.

During the morning, we will work intensively in a workshop format with: detection of real opportunities and barriers, cross-review between start-ups, joint feedback from mentors, micro-pitches and narrative improvement.

Why Asturias Softlanding?

Participating in Asturias Softlanding Paradise means moving forward. Why?

We provide you with a focused and practical agenda based on real cases, and we mentor and strategically review your project with top-level mentors through open dynamics. At the end of the workshops, you will have direct access to the public-private ecosystem with direct feedback in our region and contacts that accelerate your decision-making. In addition to an operational checklist for the next 3 months.

Your start-up will emerge with focus, connections and an action plan.
