Rafael Nadal, Telefónica Open Future Looking For Technology Entrepreneurs To Support

Rafael Nadal and Telefónica Open Future are teaming up to support tech entrepreneurs.

The tennis star is calling upon startups that can provide services for the athletes and students at the Rafa Nadal Academy by Movistar, including eHealth, audiovisual content, media and smart management with a focus on training and sports spaces.

Companies can take part in an initiative that started on Tuesday and extends to Feb. 15, 2017 when five startups will be chosen to introduce their projects to Nadal in private and be eligible for investment, acceleration or workspace. The investment could come from Wayra, Telefónica’s startup accelerator.
