ITCL, CESEFOR, and CETECE will be participating in various events as part of the Startup OLÉ 2026 program, which will take place in Sadel from October 13 to 15. NODDO will support and highlight the participation of the partner technology centers during the event.
Startup OLÉ Salamanca 2026 will bring together various activities related to entrepreneurship, innovation, and networking among companies, institutions, startups, and other stakeholders in the ecosystem from October 13 to 15.
In this edition, several technology centers in Castile and León—all affiliated with NODDO— are specifically involved in the program. ITCL, CESEFOR, and CETECE will be present at various sessions and venues during the event, while NODDO will support their participation through communication and outreach and will be on hand to assist the centers. This is precisely the collaboration model agreed upon by NODDO and Startup OLÉ, with the association having no independent participation in the official agenda.

Participation by the partner centers begins on October 13 with ITCL Technology Center.
From 7:30 p.m. to 8:00 p.m., David Lucio, Head of the Digital Health Area at ITCL, will moderate the panel discussion “The Role of Health Research Institutes in Promoting Health Startups, ” in the Rehearsal Room at the Salamanca Convention Center.

That same day, between 8:00 p.m. and 8:30 p.m., the program includes a panel discussion titled “Technology Centers as Drivers of Business Innovation.” The available agenda does not yet list the moderator or participants, so the panel’s composition has yet to be finalized.
