The pace of technological development often presents us with scenarios and utilities that seem futuristic, but are in reality not too far away, such as Zuckerberg’s metaverse, the boom of artificial intelligence and ChatGPT, decentralised investment in crypto assets, and the rise of neo-collectivism through non-fungible tokens (NFTs).
Amidst this whirlwind of innovation, blockchain technology represents one of the most transformative developments the internet has seen in recent years. Its applications extend to practically all fields and its benefits align perfectly with users’ longstanding demands for decentralisation, security and traceability.
In the face of such a revolution, Valencia, a leading entrepreneurial hub, has seized the opportunity to develop its own strategy and position itself as a benchmark for blockchain technology. The city has brought together the main startups using this technology, creating a cluster of specialised companies. This demonstrates the unity in our ecosystem, driven by a common desire to establish the Valencian Community as a leading region for entrepreneurship.
The so-called ‘Startup Valencia Blockchain Hub‘ has already attracted over fifty associated companies, and it has not even celebrated its first anniversary. Its mission is to elevate the Valencian blockchain sector to an international level through events such as the one organised in collaboration with Alastria to discuss tokenisation or the session on Binance Live, alongside other key agents of the Valencia hub, which has already accumulated over 1,000 views.
