International talent. Local ideas. Real connections.

After the Summer Meetup brought together the international community in Valencia, we’re back with the biggest event of the season.

Join the Winter Meetup 2026, an afternoon-evening event that will bring together international professionals, entrepreneurs, freelancers, remote workers, creative professionals, and members of Valencia’s innovation ecosystem.

Inspiring stories, international entrepreneurs, new ideas, meaningful connections, and plenty of time to get to know the people behind each project await you.

After the talks and pitches, the afternoon will continue with networking, the Entrepreneur Fair, refreshments, and great music.

What You’ll Find

🚀 Entrepreneur Fair

Discover 10 projects created by international entrepreneurs living in Valencia.

Meet the founders, find out what they’re working on, and connect directly with the people behind each initiative.

Are you interested in presenting your project? Apply here to participate in the Entrepreneur Fair.

🎤 Entrepreneur Pitches

Each selected entrepreneur will take the stage to give a 3-minute pitch, in which they will tell us what they are creating and why you should learn about their project during the Entrepreneur Fair.

🌍 Nomad Talks

Three people. Three international careers. Three stories worth sharing.

Our Nomad Talks bring members of Valencia’s international community to the stage to share their experiences with entrepreneurship, innovation, professional growth, community, integration, and building a life in Valencia.

🏙 Bloomberg Philanthropies: Urban Challenges in Valencia

We will also be joined by Bloomberg Philanthropies for a special 10-minute session in which they will present two areas of work currently being explored in collaboration with the Valencia City Council:

• Make playgrounds more resilient to extreme summer heat.
• Improve emergency response for vulnerable groups, including older adults and people with disabilities.

An opportunity for our international community to learn about some of the real challenges being addressed in the city we call home.

🤝 Networking, music, and community

After the talks and pitches, the afternoon will continue with networking, music, and the Entrepreneur Fair.

And this time, we want to build even more connections by bringing our community together with Valencia Game City, linking international talent with Valencia’s video game, technology, and innovation ecosystem.
