Builders. Backers. Breakthroughs. 🚀 What a day at Seaya Summit 2026! We brought together founders, investors and business leaders to ask big questions about AI, the future of business and what it takes to build the next generation of European technology champions. From AI transforming healthcare, marketing and cybersecurity to the future of retail, entertainment and the circular economy, one thing was clear: we dispensed with AI doomerism and focused on the enormous opportunity, and the ambition required to capture it. A few highlights from the stage: ⚡ Joaquin Cuenca Abela (Magnific) on thriving through technology disruption. 🎬 Jaume Ripoll (Filmin) debunking myths on AI and exploring the future of cinema. 🏥 María González Manso (Tucuvi) on delivering AI-powered care, and Guillermo Milans del Bosch (Baïa Food) on making health personal. 🤖 Raffi Salama (Passionfruit) on building the AI marketer, and Rodrigo F. Baon (NeuralTrust) on securing the AI enterprise. 🌍 Alejandro de la Hoz de Miguel (Cuimo) and Juan D. Carretero Jiménez (Bike Ocasión), with Carlos Rivera (Clicars), on the circular economy and building more sustainable businesses. 🛍️ Germán Loewe (Shalion) on how AI is reshaping retail intelligence and the future of commerce. 🚀 Lucas Carné Carcas (011h), Oscar Pierre (Glovo) and Otto Wüst (Adsmurai) on what it takes to build category leaders. We also heard from business leaders Marc Murtra Millar (Telefónica), Alberto Knapp Bjerén (WPP), Agustín Delgado (Iberdrola) and Javier Esteve (Morgan Stanley) on how technology is reshaping industries, how leaders are navigating disruption, and what capital markets are rewarding in the next generation of growth. 🧘 And a different kind of reset: Mercedes de La Rosa (Zentro Urban Yoga) guided us through a meditation, reminding us that navigating change also requires knowing when to quiet the noise. The afternoon continued with hands-on masterclasses from Iván Martínez Toro (Zylon) on building for the AI-native era, Albert Bosch (Housfy) on the AI roll-up playbook, Jaime Velasco (Seaya Catalyst) on 90-day AI transformation, and Enric Asuncion and Eduard Castañeda (Wallbox) on building hard tech in the AI era. A huge thank you to all our speakers, founders, LPs and partners for bringing such energy, candour and ambition to the room. The breakthroughs ahead will be built by people willing to challenge what exists and imagine what comes next. We’re proud to be building that community at Seaya. #SeayaSummit #AI #VentureCapital #Entrepreneurship #Innovation Beatriz Gonzalez, Carlos Fisch, Pablo Pedrejon, Juan González del Castillo Burgos, Aristotelis Xenofontos, Vinoth J., Jaime Velasco Praga, Rika Christanto

We are happy to share that Seaya Andromeda has co-led an investment in the French company Wiremind, together with IronWave and Bpifrance. Wiremind provides optimization systems and inventory management solutions for transport operators. Colin Girault-Matz and Charles Pierre founded the company in 2014, building it without outside funding and growing it fast while staying profitable. Mobility is one of our core sectors at Seaya Andromeda, and both the founders and the company's mission are aligned with what we look for in Seaya. We are excited to work with the founders and team to keep building state-of-the-art AI solutions for transport operators, as well as taking Wiremind to new markets. Thank you, Colin, Charles and the whole Wiremind team, for trusting us. Let's go! #Mobility #AI #GrowthEquity More information in the articles in the comment below 👇 CC Victoire Laurenty Adrien Neel

NeuralTrust just announced a $20M round, the largest cybersecurity Seed round ever raised in Europe. This comes as no surprise as the business is securing the AI agents of many bluechip organisations across three continents. We backed the NeuralTrust team two years ago before their product launch. We now doubled down in the investment and we are glad to be doing it alongside a great group of partners: Alstin Capital, VentureFriends, Kibo Ventures, Banc Sabadell, Plug and Play Tech Center and Finaves. Congratulations Joan Vendrell Farreny, Victor Garcia, Alejandro Domingo and the whole NeuralTrust team.

We are happy to announce that we have acquired a majority stake in Smileat, the Spanish premium organic baby and children’s food brand. Founded in 2015 by Alberto Jimenez San Mateo and Javier Quintana Arranz, Smileat has built a differentiated proposition in a large and highly demanding category: premium, organic and transparent food for babies, children and families. From the very beginning, the company has had a clear mission: to offer families healthier, more natural and transparent food options. Over the years, Smileat has become one of the most distinctive and trusted brands in the Spanish baby food market. What attracted us to Smileat is the combination of everything we look for in a company: • A visionary founding team with an ambitious team • A strong and loved brand. • A premium, sustainable product families trust. • A category with significant room to grow. • A mission-driven culture. Smileat is also a certified B Corp, which reflects a way of building that strongly resonates with us: growing with purpose, responsibility and long-term ambition. We are very excited to partner with Alberto, Javier and the entire Smileat team in this new chapter. Our goal is to support the company as it continues to scale, with a clear focus on international expansion, expanding manufacturing capacity, continuing to innovate across new categories, and pursuing selective M&A opportunities. Thank you to the founders and the whole Smileat team for their trust. We are incredibly excited for what lies ahead. Let’s go. #Smileat #ConsumerBrands #BabyFood #OrganicFood #PremiumBrands #Impact #BCorp #Growth #Investment Pablo Pedrejon Tomas Arteaga Sanchez
