We’re taking Valencia to the world with our Ambassadors network
Valencia, 30 July 2026 – This week we brought together some of the professionals in our Ambassadors network for a working session focused on strengthening the international promotion of Valencia. Through this programme, we have a community of leading figures who, from different countries and sectors, help us position the city as an attractive destination for investment, innovation, and talent.
An international network connected to Valencia
Our Ambassadors programme brings together professionals with outstanding international careers and a close connection to Valencia. Entrepreneurs, researchers, executives, scientists, artists, and heads of international institutions are all part of a community with a shared goal: to help us raise the city’s visibility and generate new opportunities to connect with the rest of the world.
During the meeting, we presented the main international promotion initiatives planned for the coming months and worked on various collaborative projects.
We also identified international trade fairs and events of interest and proposed new specialized content ideas to bring Valencia’s economic, business, and technological strengths to a global audience.
Our figures in the world
The programme is aimed at professionals with ties to Valencia who have extensive international experience and recognition in the business, academic, scientific, cultural, and public sectors.

They help us build strategic connections, share knowledge, identify opportunities, and present the city as a modern, innovative, connected environment ready to host global projects.
