Hello and Happy Monday! We hope you had a safe and happy Sant Joan celebration!

A few key things to mention as we head into the week:

First, together with Harbour.Space and OneCoWork, we're hosting a fantastic design-related event this Thursday, called Navigating the present, designing for the future with Ron Wilde.

Then, we'd like to invite all tourism & tech startups to apply for the Travel Tech Awards by Airbnb & BCN Tech City. The winners will receive €15,000, a trip to Airbnb’s HQs in San Francisco and a ticket to 4YFN Mobile World Congress Americas this September.

Finally, Barcelona's very own innovative auto company SEAT will officially unveil the new Arona model live tonight at 7:10pm.
