Hello and happy Monday, we hope you had a great weekend!

It's certainly been a good week for the Barcelona tech ecosystem:

First off, congratulations to our friends at Restb.ai for beating a field of over 1.600 entries to be crowned the winners of the European Innovation Council pilot and securing €1.7M in funding!

Next, Barcelona continues to attract international investment as firms like Siemens, Allianz and Nestlé bet big on the region.

Finally, right after announcing the launch of a blockchain hub last week, Barcelona Tech City revealed plans for a new digital health hub!

Ok, that's enough from me. Have a great week and we'll see you out there!
