Madri+d Network is an institution that clusters public & private institutions,entrepreneurs and companies within Madrid region. One of its branches, Fundación madri+d , is focused in enhancing R&D in Madrid region, and it invited KeelWit Technology to become a speaker in the roundtable set up to discuss on “Different strategies for start-up’s internacionalization”. The session was held in the Círculo de Bellas Artes, a major multidisciplinary centre with one of the most active cultural programmes in Madrid. The two other speakers, 24 Symbols and Pharmactive Biotech Products, explained their use of Internet as a tool for offering their products abroad. KeelWit Technology explained how, although having Spanish clients, its projects have always been on international projects (thermal solar plant in the USA), or aimed at products that either are international due to their characteristics (robots for windmill blade cleaning, sport equipment recycling techniques or CHP generation plants) or have broader markets abroad (electric bicycles or electric tricycles for Last Mile Delivery).
