This is a noteworthy fact because the funds no longer come exclusively from investors linked to the project or the closest environment of its entrepreneurs, but rather corresponds to international funds.
The attractiveness of Barcelona-based startups ranks the city to the seventh position in the Top 20 European cities for capital invested in technology companies, according to State of European Tech 21 by Atomico.
