AINIA CONNECT – The meeting point for your Community of Innovators

In 2026, we are taking another step forward in the way we build community. For the first time, from AINIA we are launching  AINIA CONNECT, an event created exclusively for our associated companies. A day designed to  strengthen the ties that unite us, share strategic vision and open up new opportunities for collaboration and innovation within our Community of Innovators.

This event has a clear purpose: >to create a dedicated space for our Community of Innovators, where we can share strategic vision, anticipate trends and strengthen relationships between the companies that form part of AINIA.

Why AINIA CONNECT?

Because the major challenges facing companies —in health and quality of life, safety, sustainability, green transition or digital transformation— require shared perspectives and high-level conversation spaces.

Because we want to continue strengthening the bond with our members, listening to their needs, generating synergies and activating new opportunities for collaboration.

Because we firmly believe that innovation gains more strength when it is built as a community.

What is this new event for?

AINIA CONNECT is conceived as a dynamic and participatory event, aimed at executives and strategic managers from our associated companies. A space to combine:

  • Inspiration and sector vision
  • Real experiences from member companies
  • Conversations between leaders
  • High-value networking

In short, it will be a meeting point for those who share the ambition to transform their sectors through innovation. The in-person event AINIA CONNECT will take place on 16 June at AINIA’s facilities (Paterna, Valencia). How to get there

Registration closes on 12 June at 10:00 CET. Limited capacity.

Marketing y Comunicación

Desde que me incorporé a AINIA en 1996, he desarrollado mi actividad en el departamento de marketing, con un enfoque centrado en la atención al asociado. Mi formación en Gestión Comercial y Marketing me ha permitido establecer una comunicación constante con profesionales de diversos sectores empresariales, ofreciéndoles respuestas personalizadas a sus consultas, recogiendo sus opiniones y acompañándoles en el impulso de nuevas iniciativas. Me motiva especialmente contribuir a su satisfacción y fidelización como asociados, así como promover propuestas desde AINIA Network que les ayuden a ampliar sus conocimientos en áreas clave como la innovación, la tecnología o la legislación. Todo ello con un objetivo común: fomentar un networking colaborativo y enriquecedor entre las empresas que forman parte de nuestra comunidad.
