Partnership Proposal2026–2027

Connecting Clay with the companies, people and stages of Barcelona's tech and business ecosystem.

Why now

Clay is moving upmarket. Barcelona is where Southern Europe's scaleups and enterprises meet.

Clay is growing from a product-led tool into the data and orchestration layer for enterprise go-to-market teams. In Spain it has a strong practitioner community and no physical presence yet.

Barcelona concentrates the companies Clay wants to reach: fast-growing scaleups, corporates with large sales teams, and the operators who decide which tools those teams use.

Tech Barcelona is the shortest path into that room, with a community, physical hubs and the city's main tech stages.

The opportunity

Connecting Clay with Barcelona's business and tech ecosystem

Barcelona brings together established companies, fast-growing scaleups and a strong community of go-to-market professionals.

Through Tech Barcelona, Clay can build relationships across these groups, grow its local community and create new opportunities for collaboration.

Our shared ambition: make Clay an active part of Barcelona's business and technology ecosystem, connecting its GTM expertise and community with the companies and professionals who can benefit from it.

05
Three areas of collaboration

A partnership built around three priorities

01

Enterprise Connections

Build relationships with companies and decision-makers, creating opportunities for Clay to engage with potential clients.

02

Community Building

Establish a local home for Clay Club and grow a community of GTM professionals, founders and operators.

03

Ecosystem Visibility

Position Clay within Barcelona's technology ecosystem through continuous visibility, content and participation in community initiatives.

06
01 · Enterprise Connections

Opening doors to the companies Clay wants to reach

We work with Clay to identify relevant companies, bring the right people into the conversation and create opportunities for meaningful business relationships.

Partnership activations
  • 2 enterprise workshops per year. Small, targeted sessions with revenue, growth and operations leaders from our partners or companies within our radar. Tech Barcelona curates and invites participants.
  • Access to the Tech Barcelona community platform to discover companies within the ecosystem and request additional connections.
First activation · Late January 2027

07
02 · Community Building

  • 2 auditorium room bookings per year for smaller sessions and workshops
Proposed · Q1 2027

Flagship Clay Club Barcelona at Pier01

Clay Club Barcelona already gathers the city's Clay practitioners every month. Its flagship edition moves into Tech Barcelona's space and opens the doors to Tech Barcelona members, so practitioners and the companies that hire them meet in one room.

08
03 · Ecosystem Visibility

Making Clay part of the ecosystem, all year round

Beyond individual activations, the partnership gives Clay a continuous presence across Tech Barcelona's community, channels and initiatives.

Partnership activations
  • Benefits & Credits Hub. A dedicated Clay offer on Tech Barcelona's website, including free trials, credits or exclusive discounts.
  • Office Hours. Dedicated sessions where members discover Clay, explore relevant use cases and get hands-on guidance.
Local support from day one

Office Hours with a local Clay partner

Office Hours can run from the first month with Clay's local partner (e.g. Conversion Architects), so members get hands-on help in person without Clay needing a local team.

09
Additional opportunity · Ecosystem stages

All activities are subject to joint planning, reasonable availability and the agreed partnership terms.
