The Catalan Pitch Competition 2021 catalogue of companies includes 50 of the most promising startups in Catalonia.

For each startup, the catalogue includes information such as the product or solution, the market they aim to reach, the business model, competitors, financial projections and goals, who are the team members, and contact information.
