What is Polo

Helping startups in video games and the metaverse

Its main lines of work are verticalized entrepreneurship; video game publishing; training close to the market; and corporate services (PoloSfera).


Created in 2017, the Polo is a project promoted by Red.es that has been configured as an innovation space and trend laboratory where ideas or projects belonging to the digital content sector and its auxiliary sectors are developed.

Video games, audiovisual production, metaverse and virtual, extended and augmented reality are the key themes in this 12.000 square meter space and the ecosystem generated around it.


Entrepreneurship

We have programs to help startups in all their development phases:

Pre-incubation for the initial moment of the idea and being able to achieve a minimum viable product through specialized training and mentoring.

Acceleration through internationalization and investment attraction programs.

Incubation supporting with spaces, materials, equipment... to develop and grow companies.

Publishing for developers to monetize from the beginning.


Training

We develop free training programs for young people and the unemployed aimed at training them in the new professions that are generated in the video game environment and with high employability.
