Correos (Spain’s national postal service) has launched CorreosLabs with the objective of supporting entrepreneurs on their journey towards business creation and consolidation. CorreosLab is an entrepreneurship program that provides directions and guidelines to help entrepreneurs developing their projects during a one-year period. CorreosLab gives access to mentors, entrepreneurs, or other actors within the ecosystem, as well as potential investors that can help an idea go far. The program is run by Jordi Escruela.
