Investment thesis
BIND is a government-backed open innovation platform created in 2016 by the Basque Government and its SPRI Group business agency. It links startups and scaleups globally with established industrial companies, SMEs and public organisations to run transformative pilot projects. Operating on a Venture Client model, participating startups secure at least one paid pilot with a reference customer while retaining full equity, avoiding dilution. The platform offers executive training, mentoring, access to private investors, free workspaces at Basque Innovation Centres, and broad business support to accelerate digital transformation. It has earned numerous international recognitions for catalysing regional innovation and building an entrepreneurial ecosystem over more than a decade.
