Start Up OLE

Kikoto at Start Up OLE 2024

The tenth anniversary of Start Up OLE marked a major milestone in the world of startup fairs in Europe. This annual event, held in the historic city of Salamanca, has earned recognition as one of the leading startup gatherings on the continent, even outshining some of the largest capital cities. Salamanca, with its rich history and unique fusion of historical and modern elements, provides an exceptional backdrop for the event.

The city is a true gem for visitors, where stone architecture harmoniously blends across each facade. Every corner reveals historical marvels, from the stunning Plaza Mayor to the Pontifical University and the majestic Cathedral. With a considerable student population due to its prestigious university, Salamanca buzzes with energy and vitality.

For Kikoto, this was our second participation in such an event, following our debut at Alhambra Venture. Overall, we are pleased with our experience at Start Up OLE. We had the opportunity to host our own stand and present our project to an audience that, although smaller than expected, was full of potential. During the event, we made valuable contacts with individuals and companies that could support us in various services, and we explored synergies that could prove beneficial for both parties.

The business and startup community is a constantly evolving ecosystem, and events like Start Up OLE offer a crucial platform for idea exchange, collaboration, and growth. We are eager to build on the connections and lessons learned from this fair, and we look forward to contributing to the flourishing startup scene in Europe. The tenth anniversary of Start Up OLE was a milestone, and we are excited about what the future holds in this dynamic industry!
