The highest summit for David Rosa

It is not far-fetched to understand life as the ascent of a mountain. The path is sometimes gentle, but other times the gradient makes the journey much harder. And that is where the capacity to resist, to get back up and to keep moving forward becomes indispensable.

David Rosa, director of Valencia Innovation Capital and a key figure in the Valencian innovation ecosystem, has built his life between summits (real and metaphorical). From expeditions in the Himalayas to managing the innovation that defines the city, his story is marked by effort, commitment and a very particular way of understanding leadership: sharing, learning and not fearing failure.

 

 

Today, however, he faces his most difficult challenge. In this special episode of the Startup Valencia podcast, Nacho Mas, CEO of Startup Valencia and VDS, interviews David in an intimate and deeply human conversation. A tribute to his personal and professional journey, but also a testimony of resilience, courage and purpose. Because, as he himself says, “the great mountains are not over until you are back home” and “whoever does not decide, does not move forward”.
