One-liner: the 4th edition of Opentop/Fundación Valenciaport's flagship port-innovation congress — startups, scale-ups and tech-enabled SMEs with a validated product/MVP and a clear port/maritime-logistics angle pitch directly to port authorities, corporates and investors, in Valencia's Ciudad de las Artes y las Ciencias.
What you get
- A stage in front of port authorities, corporates, investors and industry leaders — pitch sessions plus structured networking aimed at partnership/deal formation, not just visibility.
- Premio del Público PEIC — attendees vote for the most impactful/innovative/scalable startup presentation after the pitch sessions; winner gets special recognition and increased visibility with companies/investors during the event (no stated cash award).
- Thematic focus for 2026: supply-chain efficiency, blue economy, sustainability, decarbonization, energy transition, port resilience/safety/security.
- A natural on-ramp into the Valenciaport Sandbox real-port pilot environment for standout solutions.
Who it's for
- Startups, scale-ups and tech SMEs in the port, maritime and logistics sectors with a validated technology or working prototype/MVP — not idea-stage.
- Solutions in maritime tech, supply-chain optimization, port automation, sustainability, energy transition, or connectivity.
