This initiative aims to solidify Valencia's position as a global technological hub, attracting direct foreign investment and providing Valencian companies with a gateway to the Latin American market. This collaboration also positions the capital of the Turia as a key destination for Brazilian companies seeking expansion into Europe.
“"We want Valencia to be the bridge that unites the innovative ecosystems on both sides of the Atlantic, leveraging our ability to attract talent and our first-class technological infrastructure."
Councilor Llobet's visit to Rio de Janeiro focused on several fundamental objectives. These include attracting capital by showcasing Valencia's competitive advantages as a technological hub for Brazilian investors and venture capital funds. Efforts were also made to facilitate agreements between accelerators and innovation centers for technology-based projects.
Another key point is talent retention and attraction, positioning Valencia as an ideal destination for remote work and the establishment of corporate headquarters for Rio de Janeiro's digital ecosystem, one of the largest in Latin America.
This alliance reinforces the València Tech City strategy, the municipal commitment to transform the city's productive model towards the knowledge economy. The collaboration with Rio de Janeiro not only opens doors in Brazil but also serves as a showcase for Valencia's stability, security, and dynamism across the entire Latin American bloc, competing with other major European innovation centers.
