Accelerate
Discover everything we offer to startups
We believe in entrepreneurial talent. That’s why we select the best startups to help us solve Renfe’s main business challenges. We offer a personalized 6-month acceleration program with the option to develop a pilot and the business opportunity of up to 1 million euros for project deployment alongside Renfe.
During the six months, startups develop their pilots working closely with experts from Renfe’s business areas. This involvement makes the acceleration program unique because it allows entrepreneurs to benefit from Renfe’s experience, vision, and knowledge through its professionals, as well as access to the main agents and investors of the ecosystem.
