Atenció! TNW is bringing its conference to València in 2023

What’s big, good for your brain, and about to land in Spain? That’s right, TNW València! On March 30th and 31st in 2023, we’re bringing our world famous tech event to España. To achieve this, we’ve partnered with the Ajuntament de València (that’s the city council) for two days of celebrating and showcasing the best of Southern European tech and startups.

So… why València? Easy: it’s Spain’s fastest-growing entrepreneurial ecosystem. On top of that, it has the country’s highest number of startups per capita. You feel pretty silly for asking now, don’t you?

“In València we firmly believe in public-private collaboration and proof of this is TNW València, an initiative which we are jointly promoting to move forward to VLC Tech City,” Sandra Gómez López, Vice Mayor of València, said about the announcement.

If you’ve never been to the TNW Conference — an event that takes place in Amsterdam every year — you’re in for a treat with our Mediterranean extravaganza. Just like our flagship, TNW València will host startups, investors, corporates, governments, and tech enthusiasts. There’ll be over 2,000 people in attendance, more than a hundred talks, and a gamut of exhibition booths. If you want to discover what’s next in tech, it’s the place to be.

The 💜 of EU tech

The latest rumblings from the EU tech scene, a story from our wise ol' founder Boris, and some questionable AI art. It's free, every week, in your inbox. Sign up now!

That’s not all though. Anyone attending can access networking events, allowing them to meet influential (and useful) people, something done through TNW’s very own matchmaking platform.

In regards to the topics being sliced up and served at TNW València, there’ll be a focus on a specific trio: Sustainable Tech, Transforming Industry and Growth Quarters. The program across both days is shaped by The TNW València Advisors, a board of thought leaders with close ties to the Mediterranean tech scene.

And there’s more, don’t you worry, there’s more, as the Global Boardroom is also appearing at the event. This award-winning digital conference by the Financial Times and TNW will find leaders in business, policy, and finance talking about how to overcome the challenges posed by current geopolitical and economic disruption. If you care about the state of the world, you won’t want to miss it.

On the announcement of TNW València, Myrthe van der Erve — TNW’s CEO — said it was the “drive, determination, and energy” of the city that we’re “excited to showcase to the world through our platform.”

And we couldn’t agree more. We’re thrilled to bring TNW’s unique approach to events to a new city and region, especially one as vibrant and charming as València.

So, what are you waiting for? Tickets are on sale right now. We even have an exclusive launch offer which you can access — yes, you guessed it — right now. But if sponsoring or exhibiting is more down your alley, we’ve also got you covered. Why are you still reading? You should be nailing down your ticket.

And if you already have? Well, we can’t wait to welcome you to gorgeous València next year — it’s gonna be a blast.
