YOUNG’s expansion to Valencia: here’s why
As you might know, last year YOUNG expanded to Valencia. Not just because of its 300 days of sun per year – although we love a good dose of vitamin D. To us, Valencia is the perfect hub for ambitious entrepreneurs and businesses. Here’s why.
THE PERFECT EUROPEAN BASE
Valencia’s unique combination of culture, innovation, startup-friendly policies and a vibrant international talent pool makes it a highly desirable location and entrepreneurial hub. On top of that, there’s its high quality of life, real estate potential, excellent infrastructure and lower operational costs compared to other major European cities. This is why we strategically chose Valencia, Spain’s third-largest city, as our European base.
A THRIVING HUB FOR OPPORTUNITY
We are setting up key operations, attracting talent, doing investments and creating new business opportunities. Entrepreneurs, businesses and investors can benefit from Valencia’s advantages, including affordable living, a growing startup ecosystem and our expanding presence, such as YOUNG’s coworking space in Ruzafa and promising real estate projects.
Valeria Zancaner, Head of Business Development in Spain: “Valencia is growing rapidly and full of opportunities for anyone who wants to thrive. One of the things I love most about Valencia is having the sea close by. And, as an Argentinian, I love that there are so many Argentinians here. It makes me feel at home.”
