Fairway Invest, the space devoted to entrepreneurship and investment that Fairway organizes in collaboration with Keiretsu Forum in its third edition, will be release on Tuesday February 12 at the Palacio de Congresos de Santiago with a day in which eight selected companies will present their proposals before the network of Keiretsu Forum investors. One of these projects will be the winner of the first contest for startups linked to the Camino de Santiago and will receive a prize of five thousand euros.

Among the eight finalists are both projects whose occupation has its heart on the itineraries of pilgrimage and others with a more tangential relationship but located in towns where the Camino goes through. Among the first ones, we find the only media focused exclusively to the Jacobean route, a company that advocates the use of electric scooters on sections of the slope of the French Way and even a videogame based on the Celtic culture, the Galician landscape, the own way of pilgrimage and the Cathedral.

These startups will compete to win the final prize with the first Galician company to successfully finance crowlending (through numerous investors), another that facilitates the commercial connection of Galician companies abroad, a project that highlights the emotional component in the clothing recycling or another that uses innovative formulas in home care for the elderls. We also find among the finalists a startup that develops drones adapted to the prevention and extinction of fires.

The presentation of the best entrepreneurial projects will take place at 3:30 p.m. Those selected will hold a brief presentation in front of different investment entities, business angels and the jury. The highlight of the day will be the announcement of the name of the winner.
