Renfe has opened its first internal call for entrepreneurship through its TrenLab accelerator, developed by Wayra España, Telefónica's open innovation initiative.

Renfe's strategic plan is focused on the digital and cultural transformation and the search for new alliances in order to boost innovation and the company's internal talent, according to a press release.

In this sense, TrenLab, the Renfe accelerator that Wayra developed, opens the doors to all Renfe professionals to select ideas around the three business challenges that have also been launched to the entrepreneurial community: the digitization of operations, communication with the traveler and integral operator of mobility.

In addition, Renfe professionals may also identify needs, potential improvements or new business models that justify an acceleration program for the benefit of the group.

Meeting with entrepreneurs in Startup Olé

TrenLab has participated this week for the first time in Startup Olé in search of technological startups for the second open call until April 28.

The event during these days has had the presence of the President of the Government, Pedro Sanchez, who participated in the opening ceremony to remember that the Law of Encouragement of the Ecosystem of startups is already in the process of public consultation.

The goal of TrenLab during Startup Olé has been to look for the best startups within the mobility, transport and logistics sector to join the next edition of Trenlab.

Those selected will receive a prize of 50,000 euros, access to the global Wayra network of 11 hubs in 10 countries and business development opportunities with Renfe and Telefónica.
