HUGIN&MUNIN SL

Their core work

Hugin & Munin is a Madrid-based SME focused on supporting web and digital entrepreneurship across Europe. They specialize in building pan-European startup ecosystem infrastructure — connecting entrepreneurs with mentoring, investment, and scaling services. Their work spans accelerator programs, lean startup methodologies, and digital platforms that help early-stage web and mobile startups access investors, corporates, and co-working communities across borders.

What they specialise in

How they've shifted over time

All four of Hugin & Munin's H2020 projects launched in 2015, making it difficult to identify a true temporal evolution. Their early projects emphasized structured e-services (e-mentoring, e-capital, e-talent) for entrepreneurs, while later projects shifted toward physical infrastructure like incubators, accelerators, hubs, and co-working spaces combined with IoT and mobile technologies. This suggests a move from purely digital platform thinking toward blended physical-digital startup support.

Their trajectory pointed toward combining physical startup infrastructure (hubs, co-working) with digital technologies (IoT, mobile), but no H2020 activity after 2017 makes their current direction uncertain.

How they like to work

Hugin & Munin participated exclusively as a partner, never coordinating any of their four projects. With 37 unique consortium partners across 13 countries from just four projects, they operated in relatively large, diverse consortia — typical of pan-European ecosystem-building initiatives. This profile suggests they contribute specialized capabilities to broad alliances rather than leading them.

Despite only four projects, they built a broad network of 37 partners across 13 countries, reflecting their pan-European startup ecosystem focus. Their reach spans well beyond Spain, consistent with projects designed to connect entrepreneurship hubs across the EU.

What sets them apart

Hugin & Munin occupies a niche at the intersection of digital platforms and startup ecosystem building — they are not a tech developer or a pure consultancy, but a connector that helps weave together accelerators, mentors, investors, and entrepreneurs across borders. For consortium builders, they bring practical experience in designing and operating pan-European entrepreneur support services, particularly for web and mobile startups. Their Spanish base combined with wide EU network makes them a useful bridge to Southern European entrepreneurship ecosystems.
