The Duke of York visits Wayra’s London Academy

The Duke of York visited Wayra’s London academy that played host to the first ever Wayra Enternships Careers Fair.

Wayra is Telefónica’s international start-up accelerator programme. Digital start-ups receive investment and 6-9 months of incubation in a co-working space – a Wayra Academy – with training, mentorship and introductions to investors. In 2013, Wayra Academies in Europe have partnered with Enternships, an online platform for internships and graduate jobs in start-ups.

The Wayra Enternships Careers Fair on Tuesday 11th June, 2013, connected undergraduates and graduates from UK universities with digital startups based at London’s Wayra Academy, enabling them to see first-hand exactly what it would be like to work for a Wayra-accelerated team.

During the visit, The Duke toured the Academy and met start-ups from the 2012 and 2013 Wayra programme including Sponsorcraft, RemovalStars, Insane Logic, iHelp and Delishery.
