EDEM Annual Members Meeting 2026

Entrepreneurship, leadership — and the AI questions every board will face.

In January 2026, Thinkia took part in the EDEM annual members meeting at Marina de Empresas in Valencia — one of Europe’s most distinctive entrepreneurship hubs, where EDEM Escuela de Empresarios, accelerator Lanzadera and investor network Angels operate side by side under the vision of Juan Roig and the leadership of Hortensia Roig.

The gathering brought together entrepreneurs, executives and EDEM’s alumni community to share progress, challenges and the practical decisions that turn strategy into companies that last.

Why EDEM — and why Thinkia

EDEM trains leaders who learn by doing: less theory in a vacuum, more action, teams and real business choices. That mirrors how we think about enterprise AI — not as a lab experiment, but as an operating capability wired into how organisations decide, build and compete.

Our conversation with the EDEM community focused on:

• From hype to operating model — What founders and executives should expect when AI moves from pilots to core workflows.
• Governance without slowing innovation — Frameworks that protect the business while teams move fast.
• Talent and culture — Preparing the next generation of leaders to work with AI as a teammate, not a black box.

Marina de Empresas is where education, venture and execution meet daily. We’re glad to contribute to that dialogue — and to keep learning from one of Spain’s most dynamic entrepreneurship ecosystems.
