Where innovation comes to life: this is how the Valencia Digital Summit 2025 was experienced

In the heart of Valencia, for two days, innovation felt more alive than ever. El Valencia Digital Summit once again brought together entrepreneurs, investors, corporations and startups from around the world to reflect on how technology can offer real answers to the great challenges of our time: artificial intelligence, sustainability, cybersecurity or health.

The city once again became the global epicenter of talent and creativity. More than twelve thousand professionals attended the seven stages of the event, where topics as diverse as Smart Cities, artificial intelligence applied to education or the new frontier of HealthTech were discussed. But beyond the headlines, the real pulse of the VDS was in the energy that was breathed in every conversation, in every exchange of ideas between those who share the same certainty: the future is built by collaborating.

A stand to connect talent, startups and corporations

In this context, Santalucía Impulsa was once again present with a clear purpose: to accompany projects that are transforming the insurance sector through innovation and talent. “Our stand became a meeting point for entrepreneurs, mentors, students and corporations seeking to build an open innovation model, where ideas flow and generate shared value,” says Ángel Uzquiza, Director of Corporate Innovation.

“We came to the Valencia Digital Summit because it is one of the great meeting points of the ecosystem. Here we discover talent, innovation and real collaborations,” explained Jorge Millán-Astray, Innovation Project Manager. His voice sums up the essence of what was experienced: a space where technology is combined with emotion, and where every conversation can be the beginning of a transformative alliance.

From AI to sustainability: the ideas that will shape the future

Experiencing the VDS from the inside means seeing how ideas take shape, how projects evolve and how Spanish entrepreneurship consolidates itself as an international reference. From the Scalability Day scenario, which focused on the sustainable growth of startups, to the presentation of the Valencian Startup Observatory, each activity demonstrated that the ecosystem is not only growing in number, but also in maturity, ambition and capacity for impact.

How VDS drives real collaborations and sustainable growth

For Santalucía Impulsa, participating in these types of meetings is much more than an opportunity for visibility. It's a way to listen, learn and connect with the new generation of talent that is redefining the future of insurance. Because innovating in this sector is no longer just about digitizing processes or launching new products: it's about anticipating risks, understanding new ways of life and accompanying people at all times with more humane and sustainable solutions.

Some of the entrepreneurs, including the TRAK team, who came to the stand agreed: “The support of Santalucía Impulsa has been key for us to be here, sharing what we do and growing together with other projects”. A phrase that reflects the essence of the program: creating real bridges between the knowledge of a large company and the agility of startups, between experience and experimentation.

An event that confirms: the future is built by collaborating

The closing of the Summit left a clear feeling among the attendees: the future of innovation involves uniting purposes. At Santalucía Impulsa, this conviction translates into accompanying those who are creating solutions that improve people's lives, in promoting talent that challenges limits and in weaving alliances that multiply the impact.

Two days to get inspired, connect and continue to promote the future of entrepreneurship. Because beyond facts and figures, what really defines a project is the conviction that behind every idea there is a story. And behind every story, an opportunity to change tomorrow.
