València is among the best cities in the world to live and starting a business. It is one of the healthiest cities for its climate, lifestyle and low levels of pollution.

It is also a city of proximity and neighbourhoods, deeply rooted in its environment and an essentially Mediterranean way of life. Consecuently, we have a major attraction for people, talent, resources, investments and innovative initiatives. 

It is also the city of innovation, culture and creativity, as evidenced by the fact that it has been chosen as World Design Capital for the year 2022.
