About us

Opentop, the Valenciaport innovation hub

Welcome startups, entrepreneurs, corporates and investors. The business is in the port.


The main objective of this initiative, led by the Fundacion Valenciaport with the support of the Autoridad Portuaria de València (APV), is to bring innovation closer to the companies and entities working in the three ports managed by the APV (Valencia, Sagunto and Gandia) with the aim of boosting their competitiveness.

Here is the opportunity to

 

  • challenge the best minds to solve challenges in the Opentop hackathons,

  • develop solutions with the best startups that can apply their activity in the port logistics ecosystem and

  • help large corporations with common needs and synergy opportunities to grow!

We are connected with global leading companies, top notch mentors, and a vibrant startup ecosystem in one of the most iconic Mediterranean cities.
