On the other hand, the program also aims to enhance participants’ communication and persuasion abilities. It plans a series of workshop sessions on communication and elevator pitch tours before Demo Day. These activities help participating companies learn how to present themselves to the media and build enduring media relationships. The exercises allow teams to practice and refine their presentations, a crucial element reviewers use when evaluating award eligibility. Attendees of LLAMP AMES will have opportunities to participate in these events.
The project, supported by the Generalitat Valenciana Ministry of Innovation, Industry, Trade and Tourism, concentrates on identifying and planning investments for accelerated growth. It also explores financing sources such as crowdfunding, business angels, and other suitable mechanisms. It analyzes the project’s digital proposal, identifies its innovative elements, and assesses alignment with growth targets and contributions to the sector and to Sustainable Development Goals.

Francisco José Ripoll. CEO of Celler Mar de Vins
Artisan wines emerge from a life project shared by two enthusiasts. Mediterranean grape varieties are grown and produced in small, hands-on wineries that emphasize minimal intervention to reflect the region’s character. The entire production process, from grape care to bottling, is crafted manually, with attention to labor, spirit, and passion in every bottle.
The vineyard practices sustainable viticulture aimed at high-quality grapes that embody the local environment. Being part of the LLAMP 3i program has been very positive, offering mentorship and support that prove helpful in daily entrepreneurial life, as noted by Francisco Jose Ripoll.
