Lanzadera, the business accelerator forming part of the Marina de Empresas, led by Juan Roig (president and owner of the Mercadona supermarket chain), today begins its September acceleration programme with more than 150 startups, making it the biggest selection round in its history. The companies are innovating in sectors such as health, sports, fashion, training and human resources.
“It is a real challenge to support more than 150 new companies, but I am convinced that these startups grow here and take advantage of the synergies offered by an ecosystem as unique as the one at the Marina de Empresas”, declared Marta Nogueras, managing director of Lanzadera. “We have selected leading entrepreneurs who come to Lanzadera to learn the Mercadona business management model and want to add more value for their customers through their innovative solutions”, she added.
The startups selected for the acceleration programme will be supported for a minimum of 6 months, which may be extended, and will receive exclusive training on the Total Quality model (a key business management model behind Mercadona’s success) in addition to support and advice on their funding and investment needs and tailored mentoring from specialists.
Furthermore, depending on the needs, metrics and maturity of each startup, Lanzadera will perform an assessment and provide each company with a bespoke itinerary to help them grow in a robust and sustainable way. The companies that have been accepted in this free acceleration programme will be physically established in the Marina de Empresas, located in the Marina de Valencia.
