November 26 | Gala for the 20th Annual IDEAS UPV Awards

The gala will take place on Thursday, November 26, at 6:00 p.m., at the Alfons Roig Auditorium at the UPV, and Galder Varas will serve as the host.

Twenty editions, hundreds of entrepreneurial initiatives, and many stories behind projects that have succeeded in turning an idea into a business. The IDEAS UPV Awards are celebrating their 20th edition, and we want to do so by recognizing, once again, the talent and hard work of the entrepreneurs from the Polytechnic University of Valencia.

For two decades, IDEAS UPV has been supporting and promoting entrepreneurial initiatives that have emerged from the university community, helping new ideas become innovative projects and promising businesses. This new edition of the awards is also an opportunity to highlight this journey and the people who make it possible.

The celebration will take place next Thursday, November 26, 2026, at a gala where we will meet in person the companies and initiatives recognized in this edition.

In addition, we will have Galder Varas as the host, who will join us for a very special evening to celebrate these 20 years of entrepreneurship, innovation, and talent at the UPV.

Join us in this celebration!
