On 21 October 2026, at 3:30 pm, Chema Robles, CEO of Montevive AI, took the Horizon Stage at Valencia Digital Summit to pitch our project in the Startup Pitches Battle Cámara Andalucía. The rest of the team had been rehearsing the applause since the morning.

It was the first stop on the internationalisation itinerary we won in September at the Startup Andalucía Roadshow. The second is Slush, in Helsinki, in November. From the City of Arts and Sciences to the Finnish autumn in a month: we are going to need another suitcase.

What the Startup Pitches Battle Cámara Andalucía is

The Startup Pitches Battle Cámara Andalucía was the Valencia Digital Summit 2026 session in which several winners of the Startup Andalucía Roadshow presented their projects. Each took a turn on the Horizon Stage in front of investors, corporates and the rest of the audience.

Valencia Digital Summit, VDS, took place on 21 and 22 October at the City of Arts and Sciences in Valencia. According to the organisers, it brings together more than 12,000 attendees from 120 countries, 3,000 startups and 800 investors.

Who we shared the stage with

We shared the session with three of our Roadshow travel companions:

Four startups, four different problems and one shared foundation: artificial intelligence built in Andalusia. Good company for a battle.

What we said in the pitch

Chema took to the stage what we see every week in mid-sized Spanish companies: teams already use generative AI, and the useful question is how to do it without data leaving the organisation.

The problem slide summed it up: every prompt is a potential leak. And banning AI does not work, because people keep using it from their phones.

That is why we built Moviwa: it sits between the team and tools such as ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini, and hides confidential data before it leaves. The data stays in the organisation and the team keeps working with the AI it already uses.

And we told it with the approach that defines us: an independent European specialist, with the AI Act, the GDPR, NIS2 and ISO 27001 as our working framework from day one.

More than a stage

We spent the whole day in Valencia, and not only on stage. In the morning, Chema Robles and Rubén Sánchez staffed our stand, i17C: conversations with investors, other startups and companies that want to use AI without exposing their information.

Valencia came in a busy week. The next day, 22 October, Moviwa won first place in INCIBE Emprende Acceleration at 20ENISE in León. It adds to the Startup Andalucía Roadshow, the BSC AI Factory acceleration programme and the award at the University of Granada's 12th entrepreneurship competition.

What we took home from Valencia

• A pitch in front of international investors to explain why AI in companies is also a data problem.
• Conversations at the stand that we now need to follow up.
• A suitcase already asking for room for Helsinki.

Thanks to Cámara Andalucía and the Startup Andalucía Roadshow organisers for the itinerary, to Valencia Digital Summit for the stage, and to ARKAIU Systems, GLOSSO and Nexo Intelligence for a very strong session.

Next stop: Slush, in Helsinki, on 18 and 19 November.
