Princesa de Elda Halls will host the VI Jovempa Inspiring Companies Awards, kicking off on Friday, May 27 at 19:00. The event shines a spotlight on seven Alicante-based companies, each representing one of the seven regional groups that form the Jovempa Federation. These firms stood out through their active involvement in the association, the milestones they achieved along their entrepreneurial journey, and their role as a beacon of motivation for other young enterprises across the province.
As announced by the organization, the gala would not be possible without the collaboration and participation of the Generalitat Valenciana through the Ministry of Sustainable Economy, Productive Sectors, Trade and Labour, the City Council of Elda, and IDELSA (Institute for Local Development). Also contributing are the Ministry of Economic Development, Industry and Employment and Cajamar. Jovempa expresses sincere gratitude to each partner for backing all initiatives and standing beside the federation and its member companies.

The awards will be presented by the presidents of the seven regional associations, alongside Hugo Quintanilla, president of the Jovempa Federation, in a ceremony that emphasizes regional collaboration and entrepreneurial courage.

The event aims to celebrate practical examples of growth, resilience, and the spirit of local business within the Valencian Community.
The ceremony will be a public event by invitation with limited capacity, conducted in accordance with current health and safety precautions. It will be a face-to-face gathering that seeks to foster meaningful networking and collaboration among local business leaders and policymakers alike. Attendees are expected from both the Medio and Alto Vinalopó districts and the broader Alicante province, underscoring the wide reach and impact of Jovempa’s initiatives.
This occasion is part of a broader program within Jovempa’s framework, funded through the cooperation agreement between the Valencia Community Young Entrepreneurs Association, AJE CV, and the Generalitat Valenciana. The gathering reflects a sustained effort to promote entrepreneurship, innovation, and regional development across the province and beyond, aligning with the goals of regional economic recovery and long-term business resilience.
