Barcelona, April 2, 2025. – The Logistics 4.0 Incubator, the first high-tech incubator in Spain dedicated to industry 4.0 in the field of the logistics sector value chain promoted by the Barcelona Free Trade Zone Consortium (CZFB) with the support of the INCYDE Foundation through European ERDF funds, presented this morning 14 new startups that will join its program in a welcome ceremony by the special delegate of the State at the CZFB, Pere Navarro, and the general director of the CZFB, Blanca Sorigué.

These emerging companies have been selected through a new call launched by the CZFB, where they have received applications from a total of 21 startups interested in being part of the Logistics 4.0 Incubator. With these new projects, the Logistics 4.0 Incubator has already incubated a total of 60 initiatives when it has not yet reached two years of activity. Project ADR, Aseguis, Packengers, Copailot, Placenet, Pulpop, Cadenity AI, Full & Fast, Convenit, Greenpath Logistics, SCAI Engineering, Cirquel, Locally.Farm and YK-Logistics are the new additions.

Pere Navarro, special delegate of the State at the CZFB, explained that “the Logistics 4.0 Incubator is an ideal platform for turning ideas into future businesses and, at the same time, is generating new ideas based on emerging needs.” Navarro also recalled that “the Consorci de la Zona Franca de Barcelona is a public company whose only source of income comes from the management of the Zona Franca industrial estate, as well as some buildings we have in Barcelona, and with this we promote economic growth to stimulate the economy and provide places where new forms of economy can grow and develop to generate business, and therefore new jobs. From the public sector, we act as a platform for these companies to be born and grow to generate these opportunities in the form of jobs”.

For her part, Blanca Sorigué, general director of the CZFB, stressed that “the transformation of the industrial fabric represented by projects like those presented here today is very important to us because it ultimately radiates throughout the territory, with better workplaces, better opportunities, and the global positioning of the Zona Franca. Today, we are a globally recognized Zona Franca in several aspects, and this is one of our strengths from which the startups that are part of the Logistics 4.0 Incubator can also benefit”.
