Our value proposition is built around data analytics to support decision-making through precise and accessible information—helping organizations optimize resources, reduce costs, and advance their sustainability goals.
What digital technologies or trends do you consider key for the near future?
We believe applied artificial intelligence, edge computing, 5G, and advanced sensorization are key trends. All of these enable a more efficient, decentralized, and data-driven digital transformation—especially in sectors like industry, energy, and urban management.
What motivated you to join as supporters of Startup Valencia?
We identify strongly with the innovative spirit of Valencia’s entrepreneurial community. Becoming supporters of Startup Valencia is our way of actively contributing to the ecosystem, generating synergies, and supporting the growth of projects that, like ours, are born with a transformative purpose.
What do you hope to bring to the startup and entrepreneurial community from your experience?
We want to offer a practical perspective on how to turn technology into real, impactful solutions. From our experience, we know how important it is to ground ideas in complex environments, deal with long adoption cycles, and adapt the value proposition across different sectors. Our goal is to share what we’ve learned and collaborate with fellow entrepreneurs to help them move faster while avoiding common pitfalls.
What do you think is the biggest challenge startups face today?
Staying focused is the biggest challenge. It’s easy to get caught up in every new opportunity or trend, but what matters most is clearly understanding the problem you’re solving and working on a real solution—not just an attractive idea. To startups, we’d say: listen closely to your customers, be agile but consistent, and don’t be afraid to pivot if something isn’t working. Validating before scaling is key to avoiding wasted resources.
How do you view the current state of the tech sector in Valencia?
We’re seeing a very exciting evolution. Valencia is no longer just a city with a great quality of life—it’s becoming a tech hub that’s gaining visibility beyond our borders. There are strong projects, a growing willingness to collaborate, and an increasingly active community. That said, we believe it’s time to take a further step: to decisively invest in local talent, foster entrepreneurship from university level, and align companies, public institutions, and tech centers more closely.
What do you see as its main strengths? And the areas where it needs to grow?
Valencia has some powerful ingredients: eager young talent, an increasingly connected ecosystem, and an environment that makes people want to stay. All of this creates a great foundation for entrepreneurship. But if we want to take things to the next level, we need more early-stage investment and support for startups to think globally from day one. There’s a lot of potential—we just need to keep pushing together in the same direction.
What role do you think Startup Valencia plays in driving the sector forward?
Startup Valencia plays a key role as a driving force in the entrepreneurial ecosystem. It not only connects startups with investors, corporates, and public institutions, but also creates a space to share knowledge, experiences, and opportunities. Thanks to your work, many initiatives that used to operate separately now have a collective voice and support network. On top of that, your ability to showcase local talent and attract national and international interest is helping to position Valencia as a tech hub with its own identity.
And what about international tech events like VDS?
Events like VDS are true ecosystem accelerators. They offer a unique opportunity to showcase Valencia’s tech and entrepreneurial momentum to the world. They bring together investors, corporates, startups, and talent in one space—creating connections that often lead to real collaborations, funding, or international expansion. Listening to global leaders, discovering new trends, or simply sharing experiences with fellow entrepreneurs helps local startups validate their value proposition. Without a doubt, VDS is one of the key pillars helping to establish Valencia as an innovation hub with international reach.
