It happens where infrastructure, academic research, and institutional conviction align.

Yesterday, our team – led by Gonçalo de Sá and Bernardo Saraiva – visited Cáceres to officially sign our collaboration agreement with CIIAE (Centre for Research in Energy and Energy Storage) and connect with the broader regional ecosystem driven by FUNDECYT-PCTEX.

With this step, we are officially expanding our university-matched R&D ecosystem into Spain.

Why Extremadura? Why Energy Storage?

Energy storage and green transition technologies are among the most critical drivers of the global economy. Spanish officials and regional research centers clearly understand a fundamental truth: accelerating energy agendas requires importing international leadership, technical mastery, and strategic capital.

Partnering with the Extremadura innovation ecosystem is a deliberate statement:

Go local to drive global impact: High-tech research hubs, university labs, and incubator networks outside major capitals offer unmatched focus and agile R&D environments.

Open pathways for global builders: We are connecting world-class founders, researchers, and advisors directly with Spanish universities, research centers, and startup incubators.

Active engagement over passive capital: Global leaders gain direct integration into European innovation by actively contributing knowledge, mentorship, and venture support where it matters most.

World Talents is leading the charge in bridging international business leadership with cutting-edge science and regional startup ecosystems.

Thank you to the leadership team at CIIAE for the trust and shared vision. This is just the beginning of our footprint in Spain.
