MWC Barcelona 2025 – InnovX Goes Global with Open Horizons

For the first time ever, InnovX took the global stage at Mobile World Capital Barcelona to present the groundbreaking Open Horizons initiative!

Alongside our partner Sploro, our Chief Growth Officer Anca Luca was invited to speak at 4YFN (Four Years From Now) in a power-packed panel dedicated to the future of deep tech and EU-backed innovation. Together with speakers from FundingBox, BRYCK.COM and Sploro, the conversation spotlighted how women-led deep tech startups can access cascade funding, EU grants, and international scaling through programs like Open Horizons.

But the experience didn’t stop there: MWC also gave us the chance to reconnect with InnovX alumni who are now scaling globally (shoutout to Axigen Messaging and ZIM Connections ), and to meet with strategic partners from the UK, Germany, Hong Kong, and beyond.

Open Horizons was officially introduced to the world at MWC2025, and the interest it sparked confirms what we already know: the future of innovation is inclusive, international, and deep tech-driven.

As leaders of corporate engagement and pilot coordination, the InnovX team presented the action plan for matchmaking top-tier startups with real corporate challenges, fully funded by the EU. With over €1.2M in cascade funding and the first corporate challenges already being collected, the project is now in full swing.

From AI to Cybersecurity, from Fintech to Greentech, Open Horizons is bringing together bold founders and forward-thinking corporations in one of the most ambitious startup-corporate collaboration frameworks in Europe.
