Every startup, tech and founder event in València we could verify for September 2026, listed in full. Gathered weekly from the organisers themselves — Startup València, the CEEIs, the universities, the accelerators and the independent communities that run most of what actually happens here. Both Spanish- and English-language events are included, listing is free and never paid for, and times are local (Europe/Madrid).
Casual rooftop bar networking for Valencia entrepreneurs — drinks with a view of the park at Palau Alameda. Open to all, recurring most Wednesdays.
Weekly Thursday co-working for people building their own independent apps and startups. Intros at 10:30, optional lunch at 13:00, demos of what you made that day at 16:30 and drinks after. Community-run, invite-request only, and the venue moves around the city.
Sportstech networking evening with live demos of solutions already working with real sports organisations. Open to the public and you can bring a guest — a rare open door into Valencia's sports-innovation cluster.
Three and a half hours on assembling a client-acquisition system that runs on AI rather than on chasing people. Rubén Máñez and Hugo López work through funnels, offer design, ad production and the AI assistants they use daily, and attendees leave with the team's own prompts and funnel templates. Free, but the room fills — the organisers were already reporting 97% capacity.
Live teardowns of how AI agents and automations actually sell a product. Bring your go-to-market and let the room pull it apart — for people who shipped and got no traction, not for theory.
A weekly Wednesday morning work block for founders and freelancers — short introductions round the table, then a few focused hours of heads-down work alongside other people building something. The group's new standing daytime fixture, replacing the Business Coffee Club.
Casual rooftop bar networking for Valencia entrepreneurs — drinks with a view of the park at Palau Alameda. Open to all.
A short, practical run through the actual steps to set up a company or register as autónomo in Spain — which legal form to pick, the order the paperwork has to happen in, and the bonificaciones available. Free, though this edition is already running a waiting list.
Weekly Thursday co-working for people building their own independent apps and startups. Intros at 10:30, optional lunch at 13:00, demos of what you made that day at 16:30 and drinks after. Community-run, invite-request only, and the venue moves around the city.
Practical strategies for recruiting and building teams in science-based companies, covering the whole talent cycle from selection through onboarding, development and exits. Places limited, with BIOVAL members prioritised.
Experts from UNICC, the United Nations' digital services centre, on two fronts: how AI is being pointed at humanitarian problems in health, education and the environment, and how bias creeps into AI systems and shapes their decisions. Practical, from people who build this for the UN.
Peer info-sharing for self-employed professionals in Spain — taxes, gestors, invoicing tools, Verifactu, social security. English-friendly, no experts at the front, no sales, just honest exchange. Locals and expats equally welcome.
Consultant Pablo Ferreiros on selling through emotion instead of competing on price, with real cases from Orange, L'Oréal, Lidl and Unilever. Held in Sagunto rather than Valencia city.
A structured monthly table for women building businesses — guided introductions, then small-group conversation about what's actually going on behind the business. No pitching, no rehearsed intros. Eighteen places, confirmed by WhatsApp rather than RSVP alone.
The fourth edition of Valencia's mobility summit, held inside European Mobility Week under the theme "Mobility for Everyone" — accessibility, sustainability, data and the urban problems still unsolved. Government, industry, universities and associations in one room, running through to the 4th Mobility Hackathon.
A morning of talks from bioengineering and biomedical researchers and founders, aimed squarely at turning Valencia into a bioengineering hub. A companion social evening runs the night before at Palacio de la Colomina, same registration.
A monthly evening where entrepreneurs read one business book and then work out what to actually do with it — discussion over food rather than a lecture. The venue moves each month, so check the listing before you go.
Valencia's room in a worldwide one-day build: 10:00 to 17:00 making agents that live somewhere other than a chat box. No judging panel and no prizes — teams simply show the room what they got running. Applications are reviewed rather than open RSVP.
Valencia's second n8n meetup, run as a mini-hackathon: random teams of four or five work through ten automation challenges for two hours with mentors on hand, and every challenge you crack earns a balloon. No coding background needed. Pizza from 17:30, prizes and n8n t-shirts at 20:15, networking after. The first edition drew 186 sign-ups against a 90-person room, so register early.
The third edition of the Ivie-authored report measuring the Comunitat Valenciana's research effort, technological development and entrepreneurial dynamism. The second half turns to getting science to market: Almudena Trigo of BeAble Capital on deep tech as an industrial motor, then founders working in health tech, the space industry and cybersecurity. Runs to 12:10.
Hands-on course on actually applying AI inside a business rather than talking about it. Runs three consecutive mornings, 15–17 September, subsidised by the Conselleria de Industria, Turismo e Innovación.
The seventh edition of Valencia's flagship foodtech summit — a full day of keynotes, roundtables and workshops on transforming the food system, across an Inspiration stage and an Ecosystem stage. The biggest startup event in the city this month.
A weekly Wednesday morning work block for founders and freelancers — short introductions round the table, then a few focused hours of heads-down work alongside other people building something. The group's new standing daytime fixture, replacing the Business Coffee Club.
The second session of APAFCV's subsidised two-day course on putting AI to work inside a business. Same room, same four-hour format as the 15th — take both days together rather than either alone.

CEEI's flagship annual ecosystem congress on AI, growth and innovation, with Dimas Gimeno, Jon Hernández, Miguel Arias, Mariona Sanz and Virginia Calvo. Accreditation from 16:00, closing with a networking cocktail. Now sold out — registration is a waiting list.
Two full days rebuilding a digital business system by system — offers, funnels, paid acquisition and AI-assisted sales. Runs 18–19 September at Roig Arena; the cheapest tiers have already sold out.
Short, fast presentations from the professional, creative and tech communities already active across València, then open networking. Aimed at people who want to find the room they belong in rather than collect business cards.
The Valencia stop on the Impact Social Cup's third national tour of ten Spanish cities. Founders from Feending, Bluease and INDYA sit on a "failup table" about what went wrong, then a panel with Zubi Capital, Shuttle and First Drop on where the local scene actually stands, and drinks after.
A showcase of ERDF-funded R&D projects run by Valencian technology centres alongside companies — the clearest single view of who to partner with and which public funding routes are actually open.
The first of two full days building a real automation on your own business rather than watching demos of someone else's. Bring a laptop and a task you'd like to stop doing by hand; you leave with it running. Session 2 follows on the 25th, with time in between to apply it and come back with questions. No coding required.
Where women's health innovation actually stands as it matures from consumer wellness tools into clinically validated products — talks on AI-driven diagnostics, endometriosis, fertility and the venture perspective, plus the regulatory and funding realities shaping the sector. Supported by València Innovation Capital, with informal networking at a nearby bar afterwards.
The monthly demo night for Valencia's AI builder community — ten-minute live demos of real AI projects, weekend hacks and production systems alike, then open networking. Supported by Base 2, GoHub Ventures and Startup Valencia.
A weekly Wednesday morning work block for founders and freelancers — short introductions round the table, then a few focused hours of heads-down work alongside other people building something. The group's new standing daytime fixture, replacing the Business Coffee Club.

Startup Grind's Valencia chapter back in the room after a summer off — no stage, no panel, just beer and conversation among people running startups. The chapter's first event since mid-July.
Casual rooftop bar networking for Valencia entrepreneurs — drinks with a view of the park at Palau Alameda. Open to all.
A workshop mapping the innovation-funding instruments actually open to startups and deep-tech companies, and how to stack them by growth stage. Run by the city's own innovation arm with UPV's ideas team.
Weekly Thursday co-working for people building their own independent apps and startups. Intros at 10:30, optional lunch at 13:00, demos of what you made that day at 16:30 and drinks after. Community-run, invite-request only, and the venue moves around the city.
Peer info-sharing for self-employed professionals in Spain — taxes, gestors, invoicing tools, Verifactu, social security. English-friendly, no experts at the front, no sales, just honest exchange. Locals and expats equally welcome.
Deliberately not a tools demo: a working conversation about which AI and immersive-technology opportunities are real for a company right now, which risks to plan for, and how to decide before spending. With Pilar Paredes, Javier Campos and Mauro Xesteira.
The long-running format where founders tell the story of a business that went wrong and what it actually taught them — no polish, no highlight reel — followed by networking on the fourth-floor terrace. Free, but it fills up.
A breakfast panel with The Blue Bamboo Academy, MyUrbanScoot and SinOficina on building a community that actually drives brand and sales, rather than a follower count.
A breakfast-format matchmaking session pairing UV research groups and clinical institutes with biotech and healthtech companies around cancer — biomarkers, organoids, precision medicine, new therapies. Four five-minute pitches, then two rounds of directed introductions built from what you declare on the sign-up form.
For people with twenty or thirty years of judgment behind them, AI has opened routes that didn't exist recently — repositioning inside a company, or starting something. A session on management principles in that shift, followed by two hours of networking. Seating limited, admission by confirmation.
A full day of open co-working for Valencia's Cursor users at Casa Raíz — quiet zone inside, terrace for conversations, food and drinks covered. Optional demos from the room and an afternoon virtual Q&A with the Cursor team; registered co-workers get Cursor credits. Pick a morning slot, an afternoon slot, or drop in.
The closing day of the two-part workshop: come back with what you built on the 22nd, work through where it broke, and leave with the process for spotting and building the next one yourself. Booked as one two-day workshop rather than separately.
Two talks for people already shipping AI — Mayela Zambrano on human-centred AI systems and Deniz Matar on spec-driven development — plus networking. Explicitly not intro content.
No demos, no presentations, no agenda — one long table with Joe, who started AI Tinkerers, and a handful of people actually building. Each seat is approved individually and the address only goes out afterwards.
The second edition of Valencia's AI-for-commerce conference: real cases rather than theory, across ecommerce, marketplaces, retail media and digital marketing, with 300+ professionals expected. Runs to 16:00, with breakfast and lunch networking built into the day.
Two days on what AI is actually doing inside Spanish-language newsrooms, with PRISA Media, Agencia EFE, Europa Press, Grupo Godó and RTVE at the table — nine panels, thirty-plus speakers, running into October 1. Attendance is by host approval.

A three-hour hands-on product and innovation-strategy masterclass: work on your own product, test your assumptions against real market behaviour, and sharpen MVP definition and positioning.
