The Valenciaport Foundation (Fundación Valenciaport) has joined the association representing the startup ecosystem of the Valencian Community as a Corporate Partner. After announcing the creation of an incubation and acceleration programme for startups in alliance with Telefónica at the Mobile World Congress (MWC) in Barcelona, the Valenciaport Foundation joined Startup Valencia with the aim of promoting and boosting the tech and innovation ecosystem.
The agreement reached between the two entities will promote collaboration with Valencian startups focused on port logistics solutions. The joint venture has the aim of backing disruptive projects, boosting digital transformation and positioning Valencia and its port as a benchmark for efficient, innovative and sustainable management.
According to Antonio Torregrosa, General Director of the Valenciaport Foundation, “this collaboration will allow us to strengthen the ties between the port community and the Valencian entrepreneurial ecosystem, promoting the creation of innovative tech projects that will help increase the competitiveness of the Port of Valencia business cluster and the Valencian economy”.
As Juan Luis Hortelano, president of Startup Valencia, explains: “this agreement is great news for the ecosystem of tech and innovative companies in the Valencian Community as it will consolidate the position of the Port of Valencia and its cluster as a hub of port innovation and will offer startups in the region an infrastructure from which to work on innovative solutions for the sector”.
Both organisations share the objective of positioning the Valencian Community as a leading international tech hub, which facilitates the creation of synergies between Startup Valencia and its members and the Valenciaport Foundation.
