At Emprendedor XXI prizes ceremony
Almira Labs has been selected as one of four projects (out of 29) that had the qualities to be presented to the investors session named “Foro Kapital”, one of the activities of the entrepreneurialship contest “Creara 50K” held by Fundación San Telmo, Sevilla, in which Almira takes part. We feel really satisfied of this election as it rewards the team for the hard work done.
The session was pretty interesting, with high quality projects and a numeorus public formed by both local investors and others coming from all over Spain, and teachers from San Telmo.
At the end, we enjoyed a cocktail in the main patio until we had to flee to the inside because of a soft rain…
Some links to the news in spanish press…
Almira Labs has been invited to take part in “EmprendeTIC” session during the “Mundo internet” convention (www.mundointernet.es) one of the biggest meetings in Spain around Internet and Technology. This year it has been held in Málaga in the elegant Palacio de Ferias y Congresos.
The session was a mixture between a new companies showcase and talks on the entrepreneuship in Spain, centered on how to finance new companies.
At the end of the session, we were invited to be part of the Business Angels of Málaga network, where we could possibly find financing for our project, so we were quite satissfied of the experience… Pics to come soon.
I found some places where Almira is mentioned, mostly from Madri+D network, I think you might find them interesting.

Last week there were two important events in Madrid to recognize the entrepreneurial activity in the region. The ceremony was held in the “Casa de América” in Madrid and Almira Labs was awarded in both of them as a finalist.
On the one hand, the Madri+D awards, and on the other the regional section of Emprendedor XXI awards , created by the Spanish Ministry of Industry and La Caixa.
In both cases, Almira Labs has received the recognition to his innovative idea for the Telecom Business.
You can see the pictures of the event here.
We were as well interviewed by the organizers, we hiooe to have it soon…
These awards are a big recognition to the work the whole team has been doing for a long time.
Let’s go for the next ones!!!
La semana pasada estuvimos en Valencia, recogiendo el premio que nos ha concedido Bancaja (ver premios) como uno de los 10 mejores proyectos emprendedores de los presentados (más de 300). Hizo un día estupendo para un evento que tuvo lugar en el hotel Westin de Valencia y consistió de una zona de exposición de proyectos donde pusimos un stand junto al resto de proyectos, una comida donde tuvimos el placer de conocer a Pere Baixauli, Director de productos de Bancaja y después la entrega de premios.
Aquí van las fotos del evento que tomamos nosotros a la espera de que nos envíen las fotos oficiales.
Por cierto, en la comida nos pusieron un arroz impresionante regado con Marina Alta (ya un clásico alicantino) y un Utiel-Requena reserva, llamado ceremonia que estaba estupendo.
Hoy nos hemos mudado a las nuevas oficinas. Estamos en el Parque Tecnológico de Madrid, en Tres Cantos.
Se trata de una oficina de 120m², y como véis todavía tenemos que crecer mucho para ocuparla por completo. Aunque a la velocidad actual de contratación puede que en poco tiempo se nos quede pequeña
