More than a month after the launch of its fifteenth edition, the Extremadura Open Future program has selected five new startups that are kicking off their acceleration at La Atalaya, the innovation hub driven by the Extremadura regional government and Telefónica.
The present edition has again stood out for its high level of participation and, above all, the quality of the applications received. The shortlisted startups have already defended their value proposition through an in-person elevator pitch at La Atalaya before the selection committee, composed of representatives from the Extremadura regional government, Telefónica, Fundecyt – PCTEX and program mentors. Finally, five startups have been chosen for their innovative potential and growth capacity.
Innovation with an Extremadura stamp
The startups selected in this fifteenth edition reflect the diversity and talent of the regional entrepreneurial ecosystem:
- Fiablex: a mobile app (iOS and Android) and an email plug‑in (Outlook and Gmail) that uses artificial intelligence to detect fraud and online scams, improving users’ digital security.
- GestiónPyme: an AI-assisted intelligent business management platform designed to automate, optimize, and digitalize the processes of small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) and freelancers.
- Prometeo B2B: a SaaS demand-forecasting solution for distribution companies, reducing stockouts and surpluses, optimizing purchases and improving business margins.
- ZeroKeyUSB: a startup focused on developing a physical digital security device, an offline password manager with no subscriptions.
- 3VA: an Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) system that restores a voice to people with cerebral palsy and other severe motor disabilities.
Over the next eight months, the teams will benefit from specialized mentorship, access to technological tools, and hands-on training to strengthen their business models. The program will also provide opportunities for visibility, networking, and connections with the entrepreneurial ecosystem.
