The University of Valencia Science Park

The University of Valencia Science Park (PCUV) is an initiative to link university research and its scientific potential with the production system, promoting innovation as well as the creation and consolidation of technology-based companies. The PCUV offers its facilities and services to spin-offs from the University aiming to exploit research results generated within the University, as well as to small- and medium-sized technology companies that want to be situated within the University of Valencia sphere. Its objective is to contribute, in this way, to knowledge-based economic and social development.

The PCUV is divided into an academic-scientific area (where research institutes are located), and a business area (an Enterprise Hatchery and various buildings for companies, R&D laboratories, and technology platforms).

The PCUV is part of VLC/CAMPUS, which is recognized as a Campus of Excellence by the Spanish Government.

The mission of the PCUV is to generate wealth, employment and wellbeing by housing innovative companies and helping entrepreneurs to consolidate their business initiatives based on knowledge. It has 6 research institutes, outstanding centres and scientific services, and houses more than 60 companies specializing in biotechnology, energy, information technology and communication, among other things. It is where the University of Valencia realizes its third mission, the social function of knowledge, securing the consolidation and internationalization of various projects.
