We’re back from an incredible kickoff to our Going Global workshops in Zaragoza, Spain for Innovate!Europe. When we initially announced Innovate, we knew we’d see some good entrants from entreprenuers in Europe but weren’t prepared for the overwhelming response. We had a packed day in Zaragoza last week, with 24 participating startups, and applications for upcoming cities are pouring in. We’ve added new cities to keep up with demand, so take a look at the calendar and be sure to get your company in soon if you’d like to participate in the other workshops.

Before everyone heads off for the holidays, I thought I’d post a quick round-up of the startups we saw in Zaragoza. We’ll add color commentary on them soon but in the meantime, take a look at the innovation coming out of Spain.
