One-liner: the brand label IVACE uses for its support to young innovative Valencian companies — but as of 2026 there is no standalone "Startup Innovadora" convocatoria; the money for a startup fitting this profile flows through IVACE's general R&D and innovation lines instead.
Correction (
#status/verify, carried over from the enriched program page): research for the deep-enrichment pass (2026-07-03) could not find a distinct 2026 "Startup Innovadora" call. The earlier "€30k–€300k / up to 70%" figures on this page did not match any current, findable IVACE convocatoria and have been removed pending confirmation — do not restate them without a fresh source. See IVACE Startup Innovadora (Program) (the enriched program page underwiki/programs/Funding/) for the full correction and current routing.
What a founder gets
- Not a distinct grant — rather, an umbrella brand. A young (<5yr) innovative Comunitat Valenciana company
should apply through:
- IVACE PIDI-CV 2026 — R&D projects (small enterprise up to 45%, medium 35%; 2026 window closed 31 Mar).
- IVACE INNOVA-CV 2026 — innovation projects incl. new-product (INNOVAProD-CV) and ICT/TEIC (INNOVATeiC-CV) lines (small enterprise up to 45%; 2026 window closed 5 May).
- IVACE+i Cluster Program — indirect support via cluster membership.
- National alternative: Activa Startups (Red.es/EOI) — verify current edition.
Who it's for
- Innovative Valencian companies of recent creation (<5 years) with a genuinely innovative product/process — routed to the PIDI-CV/INNOVA-CV lines above rather than a dedicated startup call.
How to engage
- Watch the IVACE ayudas-vigentes page; PIDI-CV and INNOVA-CV windows typically open Feb–May each year. Apply electronically with an ACCV certificate.
Key facts
- Legal/administrative reality: "Startup Innovadora" functions as a marketing label for IVACE's innovation support, not a line item with its own bases reguladoras as of the 2026 research pass — a modeling smell the wiki now flags explicitly rather than inventing detail.
#status/verify: if a genuinely distinct "Startup Innovadora" convocatoria is found in a future ingest, update both this page and IVACE Startup Innovadora (Program) together and remove the correction notice.
