LLUMYNOS
+ INSTRUMENT 02 — THE SUPPORT FINDER

LLUMYNOS/Support Finder/Browse all

Every door worth
knocking on in València

The Support Finder is a catalogue of 293 organizations and programs that support startups in València and the Comunitat Valenciana — grants and public funding, accelerators and incubators, testbeds and living labs, technical labs and pilot plants, coworking and incubation space, training, mentoring, internationalization, public procurement routes, IP and tech transfer, and legal or visa support.

Every entry is maintained by hand from primary sources: what the organization actually does, which stages of company it serves, which sectors it covers, whether it costs anything, and whether it is currently open. Nothing here is sponsored placement, and no entry is paid for.

Browse the full list below, or answer four questions and let the Finder match your startup to the ones that fit.
