In late June, The Mindkind proudly participated in B Acceleration Week 2025, a flagship entrepreneurship and innovation event hosted by BAT B Accelerator Tower in Bilbao. This gathering unites startups, corporates, investors, and thought leaders across two power-packed days of sessions, showcases, and networking.
🎯 Our role and presence
- Startup Village showcase (June 26–27): The Mindkind was selected among a group of finalist startups to present our cutting‑edge AGI approach and ETR Cognitive Architecture during the Startup Village demo sessions
- Expert jury pitch (June 27): Mario Garcés delivered a live pitch before a panel of investors and industry leaders, vying for a spot in the prestigious Regional Final of the Startup World Cup in San Francisco
- Powerful networking: The event featured invitation‑only investor sessions and facilitated 1:1 matchmaking opportunities — invaluable for expanding our European partnerships.
🔑 Why it mattered
- Platform for next-gen AI: We showcased our unique AGI framework—grounded in decades of behavioral neuroscience—to a receptive audience of entrepreneurs and corporates, amid a vibrant tech ecosystem.
- Access to global milestone: With the Startup World Cup Iberia Regional Final in the mix, our participation put us in direct path toward the global stage in San Francisco.
- Quality connections: One-on-one meetings with investors and strategic players set the stage for pilot integrations in building and home automation—a key strategic focus for The Mindkind.
💡 What we took from the event
