Happiness Play had the pleasure of taking part in the 33rd edition of Mentor Day Canarias 2018, where the team met and learned from leaders of the technology and e-commerce industries in Santa Cruz de Tenerife from 4 to 8 June 2018, and also had face-to-face contact with other startups from the Canary Islands, Valencia, Vizcaya, Zaragoza, Madrid and Lleida.

More than 80 startups from Spain and other countries attended this week of acceleration, looking to join an open innovation process and set up their businesses in the archipelago, taking advantage of its tax benefits and its entrepreneurial ecosystem. Happiness Play was selected for the final presentation to investors with 3 other participants. Before the selection of a group of investors, we have presented our projects and have established the steps for a powerful investment by the local government. It has been an exciting week for Happiness Play with presentations from mentors for B2G and B2B opportunities that have dramatically transformed the business plan we are sharing with investors.

The awards to entrepreneurs were presented by the CEO of the Society for the Economic Development of the Canary Islands, Sodecan, José Joaquín Bethencourt, with whom we had the opportunity to discuss the next steps for bringing Happiness Play to Tenerife, a community fully prepared for creating companies with high technological value.
