TrenLab's acceleration programme has a hybrid format, with mentoring, tutoring, and networking sessions that will sometimes be in person and sometimes virtual. Therefore, candidates must be available to attend these activities, which will be held in Madrid. In addition, the winners of the acceleration programme will have access to an exclusive workspace in Madrid, if needed, and will be able to attend in-person events where they will have the opportunity to meet investors and other corporations.
The requirements that candidates must meet are detailed in the Administrative Clauses document for each challenge in TrenLab's call for proposals, in the section 'Requirements that participants must meet'. This document, along with the Technical Specifications document, can be found on the Public Sector Procurement Portal.
