Since 2011, Wayra has been connecting startups with Telefónica to drive innovation and generate real business impact.
Today, Wayra operates mainly in Spain, Germany, the United Kingdom and Brazil, while also working across other markets in Europe and Latin America. We invest in startups and help them scale by collaborating directly with Telefónica’s business units through our venture-client model.
Originally launched as a startup accelerator, Wayra evolved in 2018 into Telefónica’s Corporate Venture Capital, bringing together the Group’s investment and open innovation initiatives and supporting corporations and entrepreneurial ecosystems worldwide.
