Discover the secret sauce of Wayra X!
More than 10 years ago Telefónica decided to create Wayra and open the corporation’s doors to entrepreneurs. The goal? To work with the best global talent and bring their innovations to the group’s more than 350 million customers around the world. Today, the world is more connected than ever following the biggest digitalization drive in history. Wayra now has 7 physical hubs in 9 different countries.
Could there be a better time to take the next step and roll out Wayra beyond its borders?
Why Wayra X?
Often, a startup's success and growth depend on its ability to find a brilliant solution to a problem, to resolve the X. Most of the unicorns on the market now valued at more than 1 billion dollars achieved that with their ability to solve problems (X) in a creative, agile, ingenious, speedy manner. That is what we are looking for with Wayra X!
How is Wayra different from other Hubs?
Wayra X is a 100% digital hub designed to invest in the global unicorns of the future, those entrepreneurs who are able to resolve the most complex X and improve people's lives by incorporating cutting-edge technology into their daily routines.
What is the scope of Wayra X?
At Wayra X, we do not cover a specific region. Our location is an X on the map anywhere in the world. Wayra X equals technology, business, disruption, challenges and opportunities.
