The Les Corts Fab Lab hosted the fifth session in the DSIPLAY programme of digital social innovation experiences, devoted to social development around the fab lab network. The meeting explored the capacity of these public facilities to transform local areas.

Barcelona Tech City was the scene of the second meeting of the DSIPLAY series on social digital innovation experiences, which tackled the question of how to finance and incubate innovative projects with a social impact. The session was an opportunity for businesses and enterprises such as Holaluz, Ouishare, Worldcoo, Migranodearena, Capital Cell, FILMCLUB, and many others, to share their experiences.

It isn't always easy to secure funding for projects with a social objective and a technological profile. The DSIPLAY cycle of talks is organising an exchange session where various innovative social projects (start-ups) that are already set up and are in the operational phase, will explain the business model they have developed and what obstacles they have encountered along the way.

Do you have a technological initiative that can help Barcelona become a fairer, more egalitarian, more compassionate city? Then now you can share it on the City Council’s stand at the Smart City Expo (from 19 to 21 November). The call is open to all innovative third sector entities, associations, startups and SME's.
