The EU-LAC Digital Accelerator present at the 2025 EBN Congress

The EU-LAC Digital Accelerator was present at the 2025 EBN Congress, co-organised by the European Business & Innovation Centre Network and EUBIC.

We had the pleasure of explaining how STARTUP-CORPORATE collaboration can drive EU innovation.

Powered by the EU-LAC Digital Accelerator and moderated by BIC de Montpellier, the session featured insights from:

Isabelle Prevot (BIC de Montpellier) who perfectly energised the explanation and made an unbeatable choice of questions, providing her point of view from public entities.

Victoria Medrano (La Mezcladora – Hub de Innovación) who gave a vision on how the EU-LAC Digital Accelerator can help innovation hubs in the acceleration of digital solutions in the construction sector.

Lisbora Likaj (AVL) who shared how open innovation is approached from a corporation with a dedicated department for innovation.

José Antonio Estévez (Alsa) who explained how a leading corporation in road passenger transport in Spain has found a startup in Colombia that solves a critical challenge for them (predictive maintenance of tyres).

We would like to thank our top speakers, who have provided expert discussions on collaboration models, ecosystem support, and how to engage with the EU-LAC Digital Accelerator as a corporate entity, accelerator, or solution provider.

Finally, thanks also to the European Business & Innovation Centre Network for the superb hosting of the event!
