What Colegio de Economistas de Valencia - COEV does

Colegio de Economistas de Valencia (COEV), legally Ilustre Colegio de Economistas de Valencia, is a regional professional association (Colegio Profesional) founded in 1971 and headquartered at C/ Martí 4-3ª, 46005 Valencia, Spain. It serves licensed economists in the Valencia region as the official statutory collegiate body, providing mandatory professional registration and a consolidated platform-plus-services offering that includes the VLEX professional legal database (4M+ documents and six practical guides), the Ecotráfico DGT vehicle administration platform under the CGE–DGT convention, AXA-backed collective professional liability insurance (brokered by Globalfinanz), access to LexNET and the Social Security RED system, the Aula Virtual, the Master's en Tributación and the Executive Program for Controllers and Financial Directors, a member directory, sectoral WhatsApp communities, and the Club COEV commercial discount program.

The organization operates on a subscription revenue model anchored in quarterly collegiate fees differentiated by member status (€51.71 general, €25.86 unemployed, €12.95 abroad, €0 retired) with an entry fee scaled to time since graduation. First-year membership is free for recent graduates from 13+ partner universities in the Valencia region. A 44-person staff supports the headquarters office and digital portal, with no external ownership, no venture or PE backing, and no parent company — COEV is governed by a Junta de Gobierno as a private non-profit. GTM is community-led: recruitment flows through university career forums, faculty outreach, and word-of-mouth referrals, while member retention is driven by sectoral commissions (Fiscal, Accounting & Auditing, Forensic Practice, Business Management, Digital Economy, Labor Relations, Young Economists), publications (Revista Economistes, Entorno Economistes), and integrated partner services from Banco Sabadell, Caixa Popular, AXA, VLEX, and the national Consejo General de Economistas.
