On November 30th, the inaugural Dreamlife event tailored specifically for Barcelona's business community unfolded. Over 60 guests from 16 countries, including startups, investors, and local entrepreneurs, gathered at the office of the international relocation company situated in a castle on Avenida Diagonal. The office underwent a transformation for the event, turning into an open space where participants could freely express themselves, forge potential partnerships, connect with clients, and receive feedback from a supportive community of expats.
The primary segment of the event involved participating entrepreneurs sharing new business ideas at various stages of development and implementation. Each of the 12 participants who submitted applications had approximately 3 minutes to introduce their projects and receive honest feedback from a professional audience of investors, fellow entrepreneurs, and guests.
Participants hailed from various corners of the globe, with visionaries from Colombia, India, China, the USA, Sweden, Italy, and France. While each business idea was unique, they shared a common ambition: to change the world by simplifying and diversifying the lives of their users.

Alina Kabakova, Dreamlife Founder, remarked:
"As a business owner, I know that sometimes the most crucial aspect of starting and growing a business is not the investment or financial plan, but the space where you can freely express yourself. That’s why we decided to create a comfortable environment in our Dreamlife office—so that everyone could share their story and be heard among like-minded people. This event is especially for those who have a project idea but may still lack an understanding of the local market, necessary contacts, and business partners."
