At MiV we propose challenges that aim to solve problems within the automotive industry during the time of transition towards mobility.
We want to uncover third-party knowledge and enable businesses to improve knowledge-sharing, application and transfer in scientific and technological fields.
We make use of resources to develop pilots, made possible by the Valencian Innovation System.
