Missions Valencia 2030
This competition is fully aligned with the objective of Missions València 2030 to make a city more innovative and sustainable. The innovation center Las Naves and the Delegation of Innovation and Knowledge of the City of Valencia are responsible for Missions València 2030, a governance model of innovation based on missions that improve people’s lives. This model of governance brings together the entire innovation ecosystem without excluding anyone, because the missions of a city, a country or the whole of Europe are achieved from diversity and with the sum of all the parts, all the talent and all the sources of knowledge.
The Missió Climàtica València 2030 has just been launched, with the aim of turning Valencia into a climate-neutral city and being part of the 100 cities that the European Commission will select within the mission «Smart and climate-neutral cities».
