Startup Huddle Barcelona: Culture Transforms

April 28, 2021

Last Monday, April 26, Autoocupació held the sixth edition of Startup Huddle Barcelona, which, coinciding with the Sant Jordi celebrations, was dedicated to the culture sector. The event brought together more than 40 professionals from the world of entrepreneurship and mentoring.

The event, which featured the collaboration of the Fundació Carulla and the participation of Quim Rubio, project manager at the Foundation, was opened by Albert Colomer, president of Autoocupació, who welcomed attendees with a motivating message for entrepreneurs.

Next, Guillem Arís, director of the Foundation, presented a networking activity for attendees to create connections and bonds, and introduced the challenges of two different entrepreneurial projects:

Marc Cortina presented Museu de Camins, an open-air museum that aims to recover and preserve the network of ancient paths in the Siarb Valley (Pallars Sobirà). Attendees helped him with his challenge on how to make the business model viable.

Secondly, Sergi Pons explained Produccions Essencials, a theater and audiovisual production company with inclusive shows. The challenge he presented to the Autoocupació entrepreneurial community was how to transition to television.

The event, held online, concluded with networking between the participating entrepreneurs and mentors.
