MentorDay and INCIBE launch a new edition of the free CiberEMPRENDE program, aimed at both cybersecurity startups and any digital-based business. The application deadline is August 15, 2025.
The CiberEMPRENDE acceleration program, promoted by the accelerator MentorDay in collaboration with the Spanish National Cybersecurity Institute (INCIBE), is now accepting applications until August 15. The initiative is aimed at tech startups, emerging digital businesses, and projects directly or indirectly linked to the cybersecurity sector.
This is a fully free acceleration program, funded by the European Union’s Next Generation EU funds. It offers intensive training, personalized mentoring, and access to a powerful network of experts to help entrepreneurs consolidate and scale their digital ventures.
Unlike other sector-specific initiatives, CiberEMPRENDE is open to both cybersecurity-focused projects and startups from any industry with a digital presence: online stores, platforms, apps, enterprise software, cloud services, digital marketing solutions, and more.

The deadline to apply for this edition is August 15.
After submitting their application, selected projects will be evaluated by MentorDay and validated by INCIBE before entering the acceleration phase.
