The Valencia City Council, through València Innovation Capital, has launched a new call for grants to support seed-stage startups in the early phases of their development. The initiative forms part of the city’s innovation strategy and aims to foster a more innovative, inclusive, digital and resilient Valencia, while strengthening its position as one of Europe’s leading technology hubs.
The public incubation and acceleration programme is designed to support high-potential startups by providing funding, specialised training, mentoring and access to Valencia’s innovation ecosystem. The programme will take place at La Harinera, the city’s innovation hub dedicated to technology entrepreneurship.
The call is open to startups developing innovative solutions in strategic areas such as sustainability, artificial intelligence, health and wellbeing, gaming, innovative and sustainable tourism, Smart City and GovTech, diversity, talent and EdTech, as well as projects that combine technology and innovation to address urban and climate-related challenges.
Selected projects may receive up to €25,000 to cover eligible operating expenses, provided they participate in the incubation and acceleration programme associated with the call.
