Start-Ups
We rely on entrepreneurial talent. Telefónica Cyber Security Tech works with start-ups to continue to be world leaders in innovation.
We collaborate with innovative tech-based start-ups highly focused on the development of unique products
Start-ups live working with the uncertainty over what will happen with them. That’s why we must be quick in decision making. We believe that our Group can help drive the start-ups’ talent towards the real needs of the products and services existing in Telefónica Cyber Security Tech. And all this with a clear objective: staying competitive in such an agile market and keep Telefónica Tech as the company of reference in Telefónica’s innovative and disruptive cyber security.
By this idea, and implementing standard procedures and working methods, we want to listen to start-ups and add value to the existing products and services. For this purpose, we collaborate with Wayra, Open Future, Telefónica Ventures and the new exclusive investment vehicle for cyber security, Telefónica Tech Ventures.
