What AVALNET does

AVALNET (Asociación de Empresas y Profesionales Digitales de la Comunidad Valenciana), founded in December 2010 and headquartered at Plaza Músico Albéniz 8 in Valencia, Spain, is a non-profit industry association that aggregates companies across the full digital and Internet value chain within the Valencian Community. Its member base spans cloud software manufacturers, telecommunications operators, app developers, online gaming firms, e-administration systems, digital identity providers, online reputation and social media specialists, IoT, smart cities, blockchain, and AI companies — collectively accounting for approximately 10% of Spain's national ICT employment and business volume and around 30,000 qualified professionals.

AVALNET delivers a portfolio of member services rather than a technology product. Service lines include public financing advisory through its official Punto PIDI of CDTI, networking events (jornadas) on financing, talent, AI, cybersecurity, and digital transformation, institutional representation through CEV and FASE, legal advisory via a collaboration agreement with Cuatrecasas, centralized group purchasing (medical insurance, event discounts, flexible remuneration), and connections to public-market visibility through BME Growth. The association reports having secured more than €7,000,000 in public aid for members and their clients via CDTI, ENISA, IVACE, and Red.es, and operates a collaboration framework with regional institutions including IVACE, CEEI Valencia, Afin SGR, IVF, FEBF, Banco Sabadell, ISACA, Alastria, and Câmara Valencia.

Revenue is generated through membership dues and sponsorship/collaboration agreements; no pricing is publicly disclosed. The association is governed by an 8-person Junta Directiva led by President Manuel Juliá, operates with 1–10 employees (CIF G-98308109, registered as entidad sin ánimo de lucro under Ley Orgánica 1/2002), and runs programming across the three Valencian provinces of Valencia, Alicante, and Castellón.
