Aticco at the Valencia Digital Summit: A Week to Connect, Learn and Celebrate
Two trade shows in one week sounds intense, doesn't it? But having our first participation in the Valencia Digital Summit (VDS) has been one of those experiences that remain engraved. It allowed us to open the doors of our first coworking in the city, Aticco Colón, and launch us to explore an innovation ecosystem that connects Valencia with the world.
Warming Up: Networking and Welcome at Aticco Colón
Before diving into the trade show, we organized a networking event on the 22nd at our coworking space Aticco Colón. It was a unique night, full of excitement and opportunities to connect with local professionals and open our event space. Despite the rain, the energy was incredible: we officially inaugurated our spaces, expanded our network in the city and started to make Valencia our new home.
Special thanks to our partners for making this possible: Aktion Legal Partners, Letslaw and Mahou San Miguel.
The Valencia Digital Summit: Two Days of Connection and Learning at Our Stand
October 23rd and 24th were intense days at VDS, where we organized two daily round tables at our booth. It was incredible to see how Aticco became a connection space for entrepreneurs, investors, and leaders of the innovation ecosystem.
On the first day, we delved into the world of venture capital. The round table included leading figures such as:
- Javier de Toro, Investments at Angels Capital
- Pepe Vilanova, Principal at JME Ventures
- Oriol Juncosa, Founding Partner of Plus Partners
- Marta Antúnez, Investment Director at Wayra
- Quino Fernández, Director of the Barcelona Finance Hub by Aticco
This talk explored how venture capital firms are transforming the startup landscape, sharing key insights into the present and future of startup investment.
On the second day, the focus was on the innovation ecosystem in the region. We had:
- Ángela Castello, CRO of Startup Valencia
- Catalina Valencia, Head of Community at KM ZERO Food Innovation Hub
- Darío Olivares, Project Director at Lanzadera
- Naiara Chaler, COO of Aticco
Here we discuss the opportunities and challenges presented by the innovation ecosystem in Valencia and how it is evolving to become an international benchmark.
A First Step in Valencia
Participating in the Valencia Digital Summit has been a fantastic way to publicize Aticco in the city, connect with key figures, and open the doors to a promising future for the innovation community in Valencia. We'll see you soon with new initiatives and events to continue consolidating ourselves in this vibrant city!
