The Barcelona New Economy Week, BNEW 2026, organized by the Consorci de la Zona Franca de Barcelona (CZFB), has recognized the eight best start-ups of this year's edition for their ability to provide innovative solutions to the main economic, technological, and social challenges. The awards distinguished the most outstanding projects from each of the eight verticals of the event: Gaming, Energy, Science, Health, AI, Agrofood, Talent and Aviation & Space.

Discovering how to pilot an F-18 fighter jet, operating a surgical robot, or interacting with humanoid robots are experiences that hardly seem within everyone's reach. At the Barcelona New Economy Week (BNEW), however, these and other experiences will become a reality. The event, which will hold its seventh edition from October 5th to 7th, will combine the transmission of knowledge with high-level experiences that will allow attendees to see, touch, and experience some of the most advanced technologies up close.
