CEIN is seeking 12 startups in the digital technology sector to mentor them through their market entry or growth and scaling process

The public entity European Center for Business and Innovation of Navarra (CEIN), which operates under the Department of Industry and Ecological and Digital Business Transition of Navarra, has opened the registration process for its DIGITECH Growth & ScaleUp 2025 program. In this edition, 12 startups will be selected to benefit from a free mentoring service. Through this program, experts in various fields will help them achieve their goals through personalized support.

The program will offer two levels of mentoring. The first is designed for companies in the growth phase—that is, startups without sales traction that have developed a product and are about to enter the market with their first sales. The second aims to help scale companies with sales traction that are in the growth phase.

Once the company has been selected, an eight-week process will begin during which it will be assigned an expert mentor specializing in the area where the startup seeks to improve. Among the proposed areas of focus are partner management, access to investment, market traction, sales scaling, financial control, marketing, legal operations, improving operational efficiency, and leadership and team management.

Companies interested in participating in this mentoring program have until November 30 to apply via the website www.digitech.cein.es/mentoring. To be eligible for this service, startups must be incorporated in Navarra. In addition, they must have their own platform or software; offer a technology implementation service; or have any other business model that leverages the internet to distribute, monetize, or scale their proposed solution.

The program is free of charge for participants, as it is funded by the Tech FabLab project, which receives Next Generation funding through the Regional Networks for Technological Specialization (RETECH) initiative under the Spanish government’s Recovery, Transformation, and Resilience Plan.

As part of this project, other digital initiatives are being developed, such as DIGITECH E-commerce, designed to support the launch and growth of online stores, and DIGITECH Software, a program aimed at bringing software projects and startups to market.
