CELLNEX BRIDGE

Boosting Social Innovation

Bridges that connect to narrow gaps
Cellnex Bridge is an accelerator for startups with a positive impact that serves as a gateway so that no one remains disconnected from an increasingly digitized society. Projects that work to reduce digital, social or territorial gaps through connectivity, or that contribute to environmental sustainability.
Based on the concept of equity, which is about achieving as much equality as possible by compensating for existing gaps, we promote the development of universal meaningful connectivity..

Our goals:

Foster digital capability.
Reduce social inequality.
Promote talent and innovation.
Improve quality of life and sustainability.
We put our technology and knowledge at the service of people to build bridges that bring them closer. Bridges that generate distributed social wealth to continue advancing without leaving anyone behind.

– Elderly people

– Caring for people

– Employability

– Rural depopulation

– Education

– Low connectivity, rural or urban areas

– Protection of vulnerable groups

– Environmental sustainability

*If your startup is working on other types of digital or environmental divides, please send us your application so that we can evaluate it.

What compromises are we asking for?

– Have at least one office in Spain

– Have a validated and economically sustainable business model, with a Minimum Viable Product (MPV) already in the market. 

– Have a minimum full-time dedicated team.

– Work on the development of a Proof of Concept (PoC) of a technology-based or connectivity-based service/product to address the challenge.

– Be active participants, committed to the programme, sessions and trainings.
