VDS, the international tech event organized by Startup Valencia, has launched the Call for Speakers for its eighth edition, set to take place on October 22-23 at the City of Arts and Sciences in Valencia. The call is open to C-level executives transforming the tech landscape, startup founders with inspiring stories and key insights, visionary investors driving innovation, business leaders leveraging technology to improve lives, and disruptive thinkers exploring technology’s role in society.
This annual gathering will showcase the most influential leaders from the global innovation and technology ecosystem, highlighting the latest trends in sustainability, future cities, consumer tech, talent, and health.
VDS 2025 aims to bring together over 12,000 professionals from 120 countries, more than 3,000 startups, 1,500+ corporations, and 800 investors managing over €300 billion in assets.
Under the theme of “Symbiosis”, VDS 2025 seeks to inspire the world by exploring how collaboration and connections between entrepreneurs, technology, and innovation can create a transformative impact on the future.
