Investment Forum for Entrepreneurs and Businesses
IN DIEM Abogados actively participated in the Investment Forum for Businesses and Entrepreneurs held on February 8 and 9, at Tekniker Headquarters.
The event was designed to connect entrepreneurs, startups, and companies with investors and organizations capable of supporting projects at various stages of development. According to information published in media outlets specializing in entrepreneurship, the event aimed to facilitate contact between investors and companies or entrepreneurs in need of funding.
In this context, the forum served as a venue for business meetings, networking, and investment, proving particularly useful for projects in need of funding, strategic validation, or connections with stakeholders in the entrepreneurial ecosystem.
Key Findings from the Forum
Among the achievements of this Forum, the following are particularly noteworthy:
- Investment capacity: In total, the profiles participating in the EBM had a combined investment capacity of more than 100 million euros.
- Total number of startups, entrepreneurs, and professionals registered for the event: 121.

- Media impact: coverage in the Basque Country’s media, including print media and radio, as well as digital impact related to coverage before and after the event.
Investment, Entrepreneurship, and Business Development
Investment forums play an important role in the entrepreneurial ecosystem, as they allow business projects in the early or growth stages to present their proposals to investors, specialized funds, and organizations interested in supporting initiatives with growth potential.
For participating companies and startups, these types of events can provide an opportunity to secure funding, compare business models, identify potential strategic partners, and open up new avenues for commercial or technological collaboration.
From a legal and business perspective, investment processes require proper planning. Capital inflows, negotiations with investors, agreements among partners, asset protection, corporate structure, and the definition of rights and obligations are all aspects that must be thoroughly analyzed before closing a deal.
The Importance of Legal Advice in Entrepreneurial Projects
The growth of a startup or an innovative company does not depend solely on the funding it secures. It also requires a clear legal structure, appropriate contracts, protection of intellectual or industrial property, proper corporate organization, and a strategy that allows for the anticipation of risks.
In investment transactions, it is particularly important to review the preliminary documentation, evaluate the terms for bringing in new partners, define control mechanisms, and establish clear rules regarding equity participation, financing, investor exits, and decision-making.
For this reason, legal advice can provide certainty and structure in the processes of entrepreneurship, investment, and business expansion, especially when various stakeholders are involved: entrepreneurs, private investors, funds, public entities, business angels, or corporations.
