Strategic sectors introduced in Murcia

CreceStartup Logistic is part of the Vertical Emerging Acceleration Programs that CEEIC started developing last year to more accurately address the scaling of this type of technology company and to address strategic sectors for the Murcia region’s business structure. The first initiative took place in July and August and in this case the program focused on the health sector.

It is a verticalized program where practically all participants have experience in the logistics sector, which has facilitated the discovery of synergies between participants, institutions and mentors. In addition, the “startups” have the opportunity to access advantages in digital tools worth over 100,000 euros.

The program is 100% subsidized by INFO through FEDER funds and is free to participating emerging companies.
