SYNC Barcelona: Bridging Syrian and Spanish Innovation
SYNC Barcelona: Bridging Syrian and Spanish Innovation
Barcelona has long been a hub of creativity, entrepreneurship, and cross-cultural collaboration. At the same time, Syrian innovators across the globe are shaping technology, business, and community projects that carry resilience and vision — with the ambition to drive the future of Syrian tech and contribute to rebuilding the country. SYNC Barcelona brings these two worlds together in one inspiring evening.
This event will highlight the stories of both Syrian and Spanish entrepreneurs, professionals, and changemakers, while also creating space for exchange between two thriving ecosystems. Through keynote talks, panel discussions, and open networking, participants will explore opportunities for collaboration, knowledge sharing, and building bridges across borders.
Whether you’re a founder, a professional, an investor, or simply curious about the intersection of culture and innovation, SYNC Barcelona offers a unique space to:
Connect with entrepreneurs and leaders driving change in Syria and Spain.
Discover inspiring projects and ideas that merge technology with impact.
Collaborate across cultures, industries, and backgrounds.
Celebrate the resilience, creativity, and shared values of two communities with a spirit of innovation.
