SOUV selected for Touristech Startup Fest in Seville

Croatian travel-tech startup SOUV has been selected as one of 40 startups from over 400 applicants to participate in the Touristech Startup Fest. The event is held from October 6 to 8 as part of the Tourism Innovation Summit (TIS) in Seville.

SOUV aims to present a model that transforms physical souvenirs into a continuous tourism experience and a communication link between guests and service providers. Using NFC or QR codes, physical items like magnets or cards open a private digital space for users to store travel-related photos and videos without requiring an app installation.

The platform also includes a partner layer, allowing hotels, travel agencies, and destinations to manage content, recommendations, and calls to action while keeping user data separate. Following its initial market application in Croatia, SOUV is using the Seville summit to seek international partners and venture capital investment.
