One-liner: a free, three-month intensive mentoring programme for early-stage Comunitat Valenciana tech companies — up to 30 hours of one-to-one expert time per company, ending in a pitch to investors. Run by the Red CEEI under the Generalitat's Horizonte Tech umbrella.
What a founder gets
- Up to 30 hours of personalised mentoring per company — the substantive asset here; this is advisory depth, not a workshop series.
- Expert guidance on enabling technologies — AI, IoT, blockchain — aimed at companies that suspect these matter to them but cannot yet specify how.
- Professional technological consulting and specialised business management support.
- A structured arc: initial business-model review → strategic technology roadmap → progress monitoring → final presentation to investors.
- Delivered as online personalised accompaniment, so it does not require relocation to València, Castelló or Elx.
Who it's for
- Early-stage technology companies of the Comunitat Valenciana.
- Fewer than 6 years of operational activity — the binding eligibility gate.
- Sector-agnostic: companies across diverse sectors wanting to understand what enabling technologies can do for them.
How to engage
- Deadline: 21 September 2026 at 14:00 (Spanish time). Call published 1 September 2026.
- Online application only. Complete the form, and attach the Modelo 036 (AEAT) evidencing business registration. One submission per user.
- Apply via the EmprenemJunts portal: emprenemjunts.es/?op=130&id=792
Key facts
- Coordinated by the Red CEEI — CEEI Valencia, CEEI Castellón and CEEI Elche jointly — under the Dirección General de Innovación of the Generalitat, as part of the Horizonte Tech programme family.
- Free to the company; support is granted under EU de minimis rules (Reglamento (UE) 2023/2831), so it consumes de minimis headroom that may matter if the company is also drawing on other de minimis instruments — EMDANA 2026 is also de minimis.
- Programme delivery window October–December 2026.
- Recurring format → monitor ~August 2027 for the next edition.
2026-09-15 re-verification — still open, 6 days left
Window reconfirmed live: applications close Monday 21 September 2026 at 14:00. Three new operational facts, none of them on this page before:
- ⚠️ A modelo 036 is required with the application — the AEAT declaration of start of activity. This is a document founders often do not have to hand, and the call closes in days. Flagging it is the single most useful thing this page can do this week.
- Seat counts are small and per-centre. CEEI Valencia, CEEI Castellón and CEEI Elche each recruit separately; CEEI Elche is advertising 6 places. So this is roughly a ~18-company cohort across the Comunitat, not an open-enrolment programme — apply to the centre for your province.
- Priority sectors named: Artificial Intelligence, IoT, cybersecurity, blockchain and big data. The eligibility gate remains a CV tech company with under six years of activity; mentoring is personalised and delivered online.
Programme shape confirmed unchanged: three months, October–December 2026, mentoring concentrated in October–November, final presentation in December.
