BIND 4.0 Acceleration Program

Run by BIND 4.0.

This Bilbao programme works on a venture-client model: over a three-month immersion from April to June, startups run paid projects for industrial corporates rather than receiving investment. No equity is taken and no fees are charged. Hybrid, once a year, focused on manufacturing, energy, security and deeptech.
