Free participation for the Ukrainian delegation at Valencia Digital Summit 2026

The Ukrainian Startup Fund (WIN2EDIH) has announced a call for applications to form the Ukrainian delegation for the Valencia Digital Summit 2026. This initiative is designed to support Ukrainian technology businesses by providing non-financial support to attend the global event.

Selected participants receive free participation to represent their products, expand their professional network, and connect with international investors. The deadline for submitting applications is September 20, 2026.

What is funded

The grant offers free participation for Ukrainian startups, IT enterprises, and small businesses at the Valencia Digital Summit 2026. The support is non-monetary and provides teams with access to the summit platform.

The initiative aims to assist teams in international networking, business development, and establishing direct contacts with venture investors and industry stakeholders. Direct coverage for travel, lodging, or operational costs is not specified by the donor.

Who can apply

Eligible applicants include Ukrainian technological startups, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), and higher education institutions developing innovative commercial technologies. Applicants must be officially recognized as innovative or technological ventures.

Participating teams must demonstrate that their sector and solution align with the technological focus of the Valencia Digital Summit. The call is open to organizations seeking to expand their presence in international technology ecosystems.

Conditions and requirements

To qualify, the applicant must possess an existing or fully ready product available for presentation. Purely conceptual proposals or early-stage ideas without a developed technical foundation do not meet the core criteria.

Practical tip. Prepare a concise summary highlighting your ready product, its current market traction, and its alignment with the summit themes. Clearly demonstrating functional product readiness will significantly strengthen your evaluation score during the screening process.

How to apply

Interested candidates must submit an online application form through the donor official platform. The submission requires entering core organizational information and providing an outline of the innovative venture.

Applicants are required to include a clear description of their startup alongside functional details of their ready product. All applications must be fully completed and transmitted before the call closes on September 20, 2026.
