Ultimately, "we must contribute to creating that sense of community and entrepreneurial culture that works so well in Silicon Valley."

The LAB Mediterráneo Foundation is a project launched by AVE with the mission of positioning the Valencian Community as a national and European leader in entrepreneurship, innovation, technology, and research. To achieve this, it has set five objectives: to foster the creation and attraction of technology startups; to attract national and international technology companies to establish themselves in the Valencian Community and create a "pull effect"; to promote support for companies in non-technology sectors to accelerate their digital transformation; to contribute to increasing private investment in R&D&I; and to help boost research.
