Our support begins with our event at MWC, the world's largest and most influential connectivity event – but doesn’t just stop there. It continues with our global online community of founders and investors. Then there’s the startup hotbed of Barcelona itself – find out more below.
Our event
4YFN is the event partner of MWC Barcelona, the world’s largest and most influential connectivity event.
This means our event not only brings all the players you need for a winning digital startup together (like investors and corporate innovators), but it also springboards startups onto the radar of the most powerful decision makers in the connectivity ecosystem – such as CEOs from global mobile operators and frontier tech companies.
All this helps new business ventures sprout the wings they need for a breathtaking launch.
