We chose Valencia many years ago as our main hub for international and innovative expansion, says Hans Scheffer, CEO and Founder of HelloPrint. Currently, our Valencia operation is much bigger than our headquarters in The Netherlands, which means that we are massively increasing our growth ambitions in Valencia. For us, that always goes hand-in-hand with helping the local ecosystem develop and paying back to the community that helps us grow.  With the collaboration with Startup Valencia,  we are going to support startups going through the same process that we have been years ago. Startup Valencia is the right partner to do so, since they have the feet in the Valencian ecosystem ground and will allow us to advise and mentor new companies with the same passion for internationalisation as we have.
