Spain now has a network of more than 850 agrotech start-ups, concentrated in Andalusia, Catalonia, the Valencian Community and Madrid, supported by 50 specialised universities, 20 technology centres and parks, 24 sectoral clusters and 7 technology platforms such as BIOVEGEN. Innovation hubs and incubators drive the birth and growth of companies from their first patents or plant varieties.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Among the six participating start-ups, the following initiatives stood out: <strong>TRICOPHARMING<\/strong>, which applies plant biotechnology to optimise crops through the use of microRNAs and the stimulation of trichomes, promoting the sustainable production of high-value compounds; <strong>EKONOKE<\/strong>, a pioneer in vertical farming and indoor hop production, which guarantees climate resilience and reduced environmental impact; <strong>ID FOREST<\/strong>, a leader in forest biotechnology and applied mycology, developing innovative solutions in biofertilisers, biomaterials and technological truffle farming; <strong>BISARI<\/strong>, which promotes the digitisation and intelligent pollination of crops with IoT technology, AI and biotechnology, improving agricultural yields; and <strong>BIOCEANICS<\/strong>, a university spin-off that researches and produces sustainable functional ingredients, such as Omega-3 oils from microalgae, offering vegan and efficient alternatives for the food and nutraceutical industry. These companies exemplify the enthusiasm and innovative capacity of the Spanish agrotech ecosystem, contributing to a more competitive, sustainable and future-oriented agriculture. With this shared objective in mind, the case of the start-up <strong>PHOENIX<\/strong> caught the audience\u2019s attention with a technology that uses living organisms to transform organic waste into high value-added ingredients, such as protein for animal feed and natural fertilisers, based on the efficient bioconversion of food waste, contributing to a real circular economy and reducing the environmental impact of waste management. <\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"756\" src=\"https:\/\/ponsip.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/mesaStartups_JornadaBiovegen-1024x756.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-25042\" style=\"width:528px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ponsip.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/mesaStartups_JornadaBiovegen-1024x756.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/ponsip.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/mesaStartups_JornadaBiovegen-300x221.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/ponsip.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/mesaStartups_JornadaBiovegen-768x567.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/ponsip.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/mesaStartups_JornadaBiovegen.jpeg 1379w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>The conference concluded with a call to strengthen public-private collaboration, promote digitisation and consolidate the culture of protecting intellectual property and plant varieties as leverage for internationalisation and competition in the global market.
