Let Us Help

Driving success with co-innovation

In the digital world, innovators are redefining the landscape of business. Not by incrementally improving products already in the market, but by envisioning entirely new ideas and bringing them to life. That's the commitment of Cisco’s Barcelona Co-Innovation Center.

At the heart of our strategy is identifying key disruptions and transforming them into sustainable opportunities. We know that no single company can do it alone. That's why the Barcelona Co-Innovation Center collaborates closely with regional and global customers, partners, governments, startups, academia, accelerators and developers to imagine and implement breakthroughs that deliver new business models, value propositions, solutions, and services.

We innovate for a safer and more sustainable connected world.

Innovation Center Experience

A showcase of innovative solutions from Cisco and its Ecosystem, to show its practical implementation and its ability to improve people's lives.

We provide a number of workshops through DevNet workshops and Cisco Hackathon Day as well as specialized design and co-development training sessions.
