Valls, CEO of Mobile World Capital Barcelona, has emphasised “the positive
reaction of the global entrepreneurial community, which has already expressed
its interest in the new 4YFN San Francisco edition”. In addition, Valls has
also remarked “the growth of the event in Barcelona, as well as the multitude
of activities that 4YFN encompasses over the year, thanks to its presence in
Shanghai, Tel Aviv and now in San Francisco”.

The closing of 4YFN Barcelona,
organised by Mobile World Capital Barcelona, in collaboration with GSMA Mobile
World Congress, has featured more than 600 startups, large corporations and

Technology Research Institute) and South Korea. Barcelona Activa, the Catalan
and the Spanish pavilions have also counted within its own space, more than 80
startups.





The event has gathered over 700
hundred international investors that have participated in the Founders &
Investors pitching sessions; who have had the opportunity to witness over 200
startups pitching their businesses in the hope of gaining future investment.

The networking activities for startups
have also hosted the Pitch the Press sessions, 
a “speed dating” activity between entrepreneurs and media.  With 4 sessions throughout the event, 2,400
pitches have taken place and have been attended by journalists from CBS
Interactive, Business Insider, Tech.eu, The Next Web, Tech Crunch among others.
