4YFN26 Awards: Meet the Top 20 startups building the future
Culminating with the 4YFN26 Awards, the Top 20 will compete to be crowned overall winner. The 4YFN Top 20 will take part in the 4YFN Awards semifinals on the first day of 4YFN Barcelona. This on-stage pitch competition will take place in front of a panel of leading investors and industry experts. The panel will evaluate them on criteria including innovation, scalability, and impact – before choosing five finalists on the same day.
The five finalists will advance to the 4YFN Awards Final, where they will compete again on the Banco Sabadell stage on 4 March, this time for the coveted prize of 4YFN Awards winner. The winner will receive a €20,000 cash prize, courtesy of the GSMA Foundry.
