Yesterday night, Innovalley was one of the exhibitors at the Digital Summer San Francisco, an event that brought together fashion designers, entrepreneurs, and technology professionals from San Francisco. The sponsors showcased their last innovations while attendees networked and enjoyed the music.

The central part of the event was the fashion show from Collen Quen Couture, Jan Warnock, Harputs OWN and Sofie Olgaard, which included the presentation of YouShine. A model wore one of our solar bags that are going to be launched very soon through Innovalley’s online store.

We had a lot of fun, we met great people and we were happy to confirm the huge interest that YouShine raises. Thanks so much to the organizers and sponsors for yesterday’s fantastic event!

We are very happy to see our partner Cooked in Barcelona on the Spanish newspaper La Vanguardia.

Cooked in Barcelona is going through a funding round in order to meet the ambitious goals that they have for the next 3 years. The company is planning to reach 6M revenues in this period of time, increasing the number of stores around Spain and the exports to Italy and United States. They are also going to provide their stores with sophisticated IT systems (RFID) that help manage the stock and tailor the customer service.

Moreover, the partnership and collaboration with Innovalley is one of the axes for their 3-year strategy. Together, we are going to keep innovating in the fashion industry.

All the best Cooked! You rock!

Yesterday, we had the pleasure to meet the winners of the Yuzz Program!

Yuzz is a contest for young entrepreneurs (under 25) who have a technology-based idea. The organizers selected 10 talented entrepreneurs from Barcelona and Madrid and offered them the chance to accelerate their business ideas guided by excellent professionals and well-known entrepreneurs. As part of the prize, they got the opportunity to come to Silicon Valley for a week  in order to develop their international skills, get to know other entrepreneurs and learn about the way business is done here.

Innovalley organized an Innovation session with them. We first presented the company in a 10-minute pitch. We also talked about how we understand and manage innovation within the company. And finally, we proposed them with a challenge: they had to work in two teams and develop a new product or service built on top of a piece of Innovalley technology. In less than one and a half hour they had to define a problem, a solution and a business model. They presented their ideas in front of the other group and the jury who evaluated the results.

The winner hasn’t been revealed yet, but we are impressed by the talent of the two teams and the ideas they developed. This is, once more, an example of how enriching collaboration and open innovation can be.

Thanks Yuzz for your great ideas! You guys rock!
