Continuation Operations for 1 year - Spanish BD Team, now IBERLABS
TL;DR Continuation Operations Spain & Andorra BD Team - 12 months
We are IBERLABS, formerly known as the Business Development team for Spain & Andorra. Over the past year, we've worked to expand Polkadot’s presence across the region by building partnerships with institutions, enterprises, and public entities.
We’ve taken note of all the feedback from our last proposal so this version comes more focused and better aligned with the community’s expectations, responding to every request made.
This is not a new initiative. It’s a continuation of the work already in progress. We’re fully active on the ground, advancing deals, helping partners integrate, and making Polkadot part of real business in these regions.

Hello, Could you please explain about strategict partners, in the propossal you show logos of companies like KPMG, Telefonica, BBVA and i´d like to know a little more detail about the status of those partners? Thanks
Hi Simon, Thanks a lot for your question. In general, the entities listed as strategic partners are companies we collaborate with in different ways, some bring us leads, others serve as bridges to key connections, or act as partners for specific products or solutions. Without naming names, with a few of them we’re already in the early stages of developing a regulated financial product focused on institutional clients and integrating staking (this is separate from the MoraBanc fund). With Telefónica we are working to set up a node, involving two other companies, one as a vendor and the other as part of the pool. In fact, the latter is already indirectly involved in the first project. That’s what we mean by strategic partner, they not only collaborate with us, but also bring in others when needed to help bring projects to life. Others on the list, like KPMG, as you know, are consultancies. Through Onyze, we’ve positioned ourselves as a blockchain infrastructure partner, offering services to their clients where we can provide real value. We also have a close and ongoing relationship with BBVA. We've pushed the integration of DOT in their Turkish subsidiary, and we’re pushing to do the same in Spain. However, due to local regulatory constraints, that likely won’t be possible until 2026.
