After a rigorous process competing against more than 120 startups from 25 countries, Didit was chosen along with three other companies to work hand in hand with HBX Group.

Our innovative proposal, which combines NFC, blockchain, and artificial intelligence technologies to enhance security and efficiency in verifications and payments within the tourism industry, perfectly aligns with HBX Group's vision for its TravelTech Lab. Together, we aim to revolutionize the industry, create more attractive experiences for travelers, and optimize operations for tourism companies.

Additionally, we will integrate into Wayra's innovation ecosystem, Telefónica's open innovation hub, which will give us access to a global network of talent and resources.

We want to create innovative solutions through the most disruptive technologies that redefine the hotel and tourism sector," explains Andrés Saborido, COO of Wayra. "What better way to do this than by leveraging the entrepreneurial ecosystem we have been supporting for over 15 years. At Wayra, we want to congratulate all the winners, as together we will seek to create a real impact on their businesses and successfully face new market challenges”, also says.
