MAPA supports 15 startups through the Agrobank Tech Digital Innovation program.

The Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries, and Food continues to support startups through the Agrobank Tech Digital Innovation program. This agreement between the ministry and CaixaBank , in effect until 2026, promotes joint collaboration on initiatives that enhance competitiveness, sustainability, innovation, the role of women, and generational change in the agricultural, livestock, fishing, and food sectors.

The third edition of this program, which has an investment of €640,000 this year, aims to find solutions to the challenges facing the agri-food sector, as well as attract and retain technological talent.

Selected startups

The innovative solutions of the 15 selected startups focus on precision agriculture, the circular economy, new e-commerce and sales platforms, and the automation of industrial processes, traceability, and food safety.

  The projects employ technologies such as artificial intelligence, augmented reality, and geolocation to improve productivity and reduce their environmental impact. Through their activities, they also contribute to reducing water use, CO2 emissions, and food waste.

The startups participating in the program are:

• Intecsa Renovables (Madrid). It offers innovative solutions to integrate agricultural production with photovoltaic energy generation, promoting energy efficiency and reducing the impact of climate change.
• [i]soren (Madrid). It presents an innovative technology that combines nanobubbles and radiofrequency for the advanced treatment of water and other fluids, offering highly efficient and sustainable solutions for the industrial and agricultural sectors. This integration improves water quality.
• Hareas (Madrid). Develops a centralized geographic data platform that integrates and standardizes information from multiple sources for the agricultural sector. Its goal is to facilitate agronomic and business decision-making through an accessible and affordable tool.
• Pack2Earth (Barcelona). Combats pollution and health risks associated with petroleum-derived plastics. It does so by developing bio-based, room-temperature compostable materials that, at the end of their life cycle, transform into a natural substrate, free of toxins and microplastics, suitable for the growth of new plants. Its proposal represents a sustainable and circular alternative for packaging and other uses.
• Organic Sanna (Zaragoza). Dedicated to regenerating degraded agricultural soils through microbiology, it combines the manufacture of bioreactors so farmers can produce bioinputs on their farms with comprehensive support that includes training, advice, and personalized follow-up.
• Agrodevices 1985 (Valladolid). SmartAgro 360 is a comprehensive platform for intelligent irrigation management and agricultural monitoring that combines Spanish-made IoT sensors, long-range wireless communication technology for Internet of Things applications, meteorological data, drones, and Artificial Intelligence. Its goal is to optimize water use and improve crop productivity.
• Biogreen Road, (Murcia). It has developed Poly-Agua Plus, a 100% biodegradable moisture retainer that optimizes the use of water and fertilizers in agriculture. This contributes to more efficient and sustainable agricultural production.
• Melmak Technologies (Murcia). Focused on facilitating the automation of agricultural implements for machinery manufacturers for high-value crops such as vineyards, olive trees, almond trees, and fruit trees. It offers a flexible, accessible, and customized solution for integrating technology in a simpler and more cost-effective manner.
• Enoengineering (Albacete). +Wine is an innovative system that improves the organoleptic quality of wine by applying a maceration method, which preserves and enhances the compounds that define its sensory profile.
• Fibsen (Valencia). Offers real-time monitoring solutions using intelligent fiber optic sensors, capable of detecting leaks, thefts, or spills with high precision. This technology enables more efficient and sustainable management of water resources.
• Bioferric (Alicante). It uses an adsorption process for wastewater treatment. This solution allows for more efficient, sustainable, and waste-free purification, positioning it as an advanced alternative to traditional treatment methods.
• Weif Agrotecnia (Alicante). Under the WEITEC brand, they offer a comprehensive digitalization solution for farms of any size. They use high-precision drones to identify problems and areas for improvement.
• Agro Intelligence (Seville). Develops a smart, automated solution for optimizing agricultural irrigation, based on Agrointel technology. It adapts irrigation to soil conditions, climate, and crop type, achieving highly efficient water and energy management.
• Tecnoalgae (Seville). Introduces an innovative and sustainable solution through the on-site production of microalgae on the farm itself, thanks to the installation of a photobioreactor. This allows farmers to grow their own natural biostimulants, tailored to their needs. The generated microalgae improve germination and plant growth, and provide agronomic benefits.
• Nova Industria Galega (Lugo). Libatio is a comprehensive system that uses the Internet of Things and Artificial Intelligence to monitor and optimize the wine maturation process in real time. It consists of a smart closure, environmental sensors, and a digital platform that allows key data to be collected, visualized, and analyzed from barrels or tanks.
