August 27, 2026

TecnoCampus led a business mission in the last week of August in which the companies and institutions Linkkit, Doole Health, Optimal Way, GreenCourt, IN-MOVE/Hypervisoul, TENALACH and INDESCAT participated. As part of this mission, the new HICOOL–TecnoCampus Joint Innovation Center was presented, a stable platform for collaboration between the two ecosystems, located in the HICOOL Industrial Park, in the Shunyi district of the Chinese capital.

The Hicool TecnoCampus Co-Innovation Center aims to facilitate internationalization, knowledge transfer and the generation of joint projects between the innovation and entrepreneurship ecosystems of both entities. 

The center offers TecnoCampus companies and startups an entry point to Beijing, with soft landing support, connections with companies, investors, institutions, universities and research centers, and opportunities to develop pilots, technological collaborations and R&D projects. At the same time, it allows projects linked to HICOOL to use TecnoCampus as a gateway to Catalonia and Europe. 

For Clàudia Danesi, Director of Transfer, Innovation and Business at TecnoCampus, "having a partner of the size and connection capacity of HICOOL represents a qualitative leap in the internationalization and connection strategy of the TecnoCampus business ecosystem with China." Danesi emphasizes that "having a partner like HICOOL is a great opportunity for TecnoCampus and for our business and entrepreneurial ecosystem, since it gives us direct access to one of the most dynamic innovation and investment environments in China and allows us to better support our companies in identifying partners, opportunities and collaboration projects. The aim is for this alliance to have continuity and generate real opportunities in both directions."

The public presentation of this new center is one of the main milestones of the business mission to Beijing organized by TecnoCampus from August 22 to 30, designed to offer participating companies a direct immersion in one of the most dynamic innovation and entrepreneurship ecosystems in Asia. 

The delegation, made up of Optimal Way, GreenCourt, IN-MOVE/Hypervisoul, TENALACH, Linkkit, Doole Health and INDESCAT, in addition to the TecnoCampus technical team, allowed us to address opportunities in areas such as connected and autonomous mobility, artificial intelligence, digital health, sport and sport-tech, sustainability and efficient resource management, multimodal logistics, textile innovation and new industrial models. 

The mission included the participation of the Maresme delegation in the HICOOL 2026 Global Entrepreneur Summit, held from August 26 to 29 at the China International Exhibition Center in Shunyi, one of the main international innovation and entrepreneurship events in Beijing. 

In this context, Linkkit, a startup founded by Florencia Bordas and hosted in the TecnoCampus incubator, was one of the winners in the Winners category of the HICOOL Global Entrepreneurship Competition, a global competition that in the 2026 edition received 10.209 entrepreneurial projects, with the participation of 13.472 entrepreneurs from 141 countries and regions. This recognition reinforces the international projection of the startups linked to TecnoCampus and highlights the opportunities that the alliance with HICOOL opens up to connect with the entrepreneurial ecosystem with companies, investors and innovation agents of one of the most dynamic technological environments in the world.
