Creand Crèdit Andorrà launches Andorra Open Valley accelerator with Plug and Play

Creand Crèdit Andorrà has presented Andorra Open Valley, a new international acceleration programme launched through its Creand Accelera platform in collaboration with Plug and Play TC. The initiative aims to connect leading Andorran companies with high‑potential European start‑ups to co‑create solutions that generate tangible impact in the country.

Over three years Andorra Open Valley will accelerate 30 start‑ups, promoting open innovation, knowledge transfer and collaboration between the local business fabric and the wider European entrepreneurial ecosystem. Each edition runs for six months in a hybrid format that combines in‑person events in Andorra with online sessions.

The programme offers start‑ups the chance to validate business models, develop pilots and receive mentorship from senior experts. Selected teams will work directly with established Andorran companies, gain international visibility and access investment opportunities.

In the first edition, participating corporate partners include SETAP 365, Caldea and Creand. The initial set of challenges covers areas such as improving financial and asset reporting, designing products for the silver economy, customer security and authentication, demand forecasting and resource optimisation, digital twins for decision‑making, and managing seasonality.

Registrations open on 25 November 2025 and will remain open until 16 January 2026. After selection, the acceleration programme begins on 23 February 2026 and concludes with a Demo Day. Plug and Play brings its global experience in open innovation and start‑up acceleration to connect the programme with an international ecosystem.
