DreamHack València, the largest video game and digital leisure festival in Spain and one of the largest in Europe, joins forces with València Activa to promote innovation and entrepreneurship in the gamer sector in València. In this way, the festival will be attended by five Valencian start-ups dedicated to video games. The aim of this action is to give visibility to these new business initiatives so that other companies or investors can get to know them and invest in them. These projects will be present at the València Activa stand at DreamHack.
