BEONx Selected to Present Pitch at Startup Olé 2018

The Salamanca-based startup, winner of Startup Olé 2017, was one of four companies selected to present its entrepreneurial discourse together with Helppier, Chargy and Ri-Te.

BEONx, the Salamanca-based startup and winner of Startup Olé 2017, presented its pitch to King Felipe VI and the President of the Republic of Portugal, Marcelo Rebelo da Sousa at the emblematic Archbishop Fonseca School of the University of Salamanca, where some key Startup Olé events were held.

King Felipe VI listened to the company pitch and spoke for a few minutes with the founders of BEONx Rubén Sánchez and Emilio Galán about the latest technological trends and the entrepreneurial ecosystem in Spain.

The reason for King Felipe’s official visit was to preside over the solemn event to be held within the framework of the 800th anniversary of the University of Salamanca and attend the fourth edition of the international event Startup Olé 2018.
