Where young voices find their power and ideas dare to begin
We believe the next generation of founders is already among us, they just need the right stage and the right push.
With Founders of Tomorrow, we’re creating a one-day activation that inspires, connects and empowers young dreamers in Spain to take their first bold step into entrepreneurship.
This is not about competition, it’s about ignition.
Together, Aticco Lab and Friends of Bata will turn Barcelona into the arena where hidden talent dares to speak up, practice pitching in English, build ideas that matter, and connect with founders and mentors from across Europe.

WHY FOUNDERS OF TOMMORROW?
This initiative positions Friends of Bata as the pre-phase catalyst for aspiring founders, complementing Aticco Lab’s accelerator and ecosystem. Together, we expand the funnel, inspiring young talent who aren’t yet ready for formal accelerators but need a spark to start.
It’s not competition, it’s co-creation.
Not a pitch battle, but a launchpad for brave ideas.
