Yes, if the candidate sees the possibility of applying their solution in different challenges, they can apply to more than one challenge.

However, it will not be possible to submit several applications for the same challenge.

We cannot recommend candidates which challenge suits them best by law. Please note that the Public Sector Contracts Law (LCSP) in Spain requires procurement processes to be transparent, equitable and in accordance with legal principles.

Whether the company is set up in the EU or overseas, they would be eligible to join the programme. However, it should be noted that the participating team must be fluent in Spanish to maximise their experience (most mentoring sessions and networking events will be in Spanish).

TrenLab runs in hybrid format, though some activities are in-person only. Therefore, it is necessary for candidates to have availability to attend those events, which will be held in Madrid.

In addition to this, winners will benefit from an exclusive workspace in the city centre of Madrid.

The eligibility criteria are detailed in the Administrative Clauses for each challenge, under the section ‘Requisitos que deben cumplir los participantes‘. These specifications, along with the Technical Specifications, can be found on the ‘Portal de Contratación del Sector Público’.

To access the Public Sector Procurement Portal, we recommend you to do so through www.trenlab.es. On this website you will find an individualized link for each challenge of the call that will take you to the Public Sector Procurement Portal, where you will be able to consult all the specifications and other relevant documentation to enroll in our acceleration program.

Candidates wishing to apply for the accelerator programme must submit their application(s) on the ‘Portal de Contratación del Sector Público’, by downloading the Bid Preparation and Submission Tool.
