What do accelerators, seeds and incubators have in common? In this context, we’re talking about aids to the startup industry. Call them startup accelerators, seed accelerators, business incubators or similar such combinations, but their role is always the same. To offer open applications to small startup businesses who can apply to potentially take advantage of mentoring, training and funding from the incubator in exchange for shares in the business. Their assistance is offered for a defined period of time that is generally three months long and they’re there to foster innovation and entrepreneurship as well as help facilitate the development of global tech companies.

Okay, so you’re mumbling something about the fact that you already knew all that? Well, perhaps you’re not as aware of who some of the best startup accelerators in Spain are?
