One-liner: the Universitat de València's high-technology incubator for sustainable agri-food — a small cash prize wrapped around the thing that actually matters, which is lab access plus scientific-technical mentoring for agrotech, foodtech and biotech projects.
What a founder gets
- €4,500 economic allocation — split €2,000 as prize money and €2,500 as a service voucher (bono de servicios), i.e. two thirds of it is spendable only inside the ecosystem.
- Access to the AgrotecUV Lab and its advanced instrumentation — the real draw, and the reason this belongs on the access map rather than in the funding pile.
- Preferred access to University and Spanish supercomputing infrastructure — unusual for a call this size, and materially relevant to anyone doing modelling, genomics or simulation work.
- Personalised scientific-technical and business mentoring — the dual track, not just commercial coaching.
- Specialised bootcamp training.
- Optional free individual office space and networking inside the Parc Científic ecosystem.
Who it's for
- Innovative business projects and startups in Agrotech, Foodtech or Biotech looking to develop, validate and scale a solution.
- Early-stage friendly: this is an incubation call, not a growth-capital one.
