Testimonials
from participants in the program
Olivier Verdin
CEO. 87 seconds.
"The fact that we have been selected from among 150 companies consolidates our business model and processes, so we are 100% committed to the market in Spain. At the operational level, they offer us a free workspace for a period of six months – which can be extended – and a subsidy, on our initial investment in Spain, which is reimbursable."
Adrián Ferrero
CEO & Co-Founder. Biome Makers.
"After getting the support of the program we were able to explain to our investor that it makes sense to put money and efforts in Spain. The program increased our visibility in the Spanish market because we were a completely new company, so this program has helped us a lot in building our reputation and in gaining a broad presence, which has an impact on clients and potential stakeholders."
Mariano Rodríguez
CEO. Hibox.
"It really helped us to make contacts in Spain’s technology ecosystem and to disseminate our brand in the country. We took part in several interesting networking and "speed-dating" events to meet potential customers. The mentoring sessions also allowed us to professionalize our internal processes and improve our organization in general. The most interesting thing is that they adapt to the situation of each company."
Gonzalo Rodríguez
Country Manager. Knok Healthcare.
"The most important one [value added from the program] was to understand what the main challenges are that we are going to face in the coming months in Spain, and to increase our visibility in Spain. Also, the opportunity to have the best mentors for our company and team was crucial for the development of Knok in Spain."
Pranay Krishen
CEO & Co-Founder. Linc
"The program was extremely useful. I don't know how we would have done it otherwise. We now all have resident status here in Spain and our company is incorporated in Spain. (...) ICEX was really useful in putting us in touch with the right contacts for recruiting staff, for example. So, they pointed us in the right direction."
