The eight winning companies will receive economic endowment and different services for their development After the closing of the 3rd call of the incubation program of [AgrotecUV](https://www.uv.es/agrotecuv/ca/agrotecuv.html), the incubator and accelerator of the [University of Valencia (UV)](https://www.uv.es/) and the [University of Valencia Science Park Foundation (FPCUV)](https://www.pcuv.es/en/conocenos/fpcuv), eight new startups have been selected for their innovation in the agri-food sector. The call has exceeded all expectations, receiving more than 40 high quality proposals, which has made the task of choosing the finalists especially challenging. Once again, AgrotecUV has reaffirmed its global reach, registering applications from up to six different countries. This response reflects the growing interest in sustainable solutions in the agri-food sector and consolidates AgrotecUV as a benchmark in supporting innovative initiatives. In addition, the new facilities located in the University of Valencia Science Park, considered a hub for leading companies in the agri-food sector and its direct relationship with the university and the various research groups, in addition to the AgrotecUV Community, which already has more than 50 entities, represents an unparalleled opportunity for collaboration at a scientific-technical level for the applicant startups. From now on, the selected projects will have access to all the advantages of the incubation program, which includes specialized training, personalized support and access to AgrotecUV Lab, the shared-use laboratory equipped for the selected startups, among other resources designed to boost their development. With this new generation of startups, AgrotecUV reaffirms its commitment to promote an innovation model that contributes to a more sustainable and efficient agri-food system. ![P1455744](https://news.pcuv.es/hs-fs/hubfs/P1455744.jpg?width=1200&length=1200&name=P1455744.jpg) ![P1466042](https://news.pcuv.es/hs-fs/hubfs/P1466042.jpg?width=1200&length=1200&name=P1466042.jpg) ![P1466090](https://news.pcuv.es/hs-fs/hubfs/P1466090.jpg?width=1200&length=1200&name=P1466090.jpg) ![P1455765](https://news.pcuv.es/hs-fs/hubfs/P1455765.jpg?width=1200&length=1200&name=P1455765.jpg) ![P1466052](https://news.pcuv.es/hs-fs/hubfs/P1466052.jpg?width=1200&length=1200&name=P1466052.jpg) ![P1455784](https://news.pcuv.es/hs-fs/hubfs/P1455784.jpg?width=1200&length=1200&name=P1455784.jpg) ![P1466015](https://news.pcuv.es/hs-fs/hubfs/P1466015.jpg?width=1200&length=1200&name=P1466015.jpg) ![P1455756](https://news.pcuv.es/hs-fs/hubfs/P1455756.jpg?width=1200&length=1200&name=P1455756.jpg)   Meet the selected companies - Veganic Nature: Startup founded by Carlos Ledó, successful entrepreneur and founder of Idai Nature, which develops innovative biosolutions through natural formulations to achieve sustainable agriculture free of synthetic chemical residues. - Agrotan Natura: Biotechnology company expert in the production of biofertilizers based on specific microorganisms for a more profitable, efficient and environmentally sustainable agricultural production. - Ajax DNA: project focused on the development of an innovative technology capable of integrating design, construction and testing of microorganism strains in a single process through genetic engineering and synthetic biology. - Bio2Coat: Startup founded by UPC researchers and specialized in the development and production of surface coatings for fruits and vegetables in order to protect them and extend their shelf life. - BioAgroTec Solutions: This project emerged from the Institute for Molecular Development (IDM) focused on an ecological alternative for pest control through the use of essential oils encapsulated in mesoporous materials and released in a controlled manner in the presence of the specific pathogen for which they have been produced. - Guennetikos Gen: Biotechnological company dedicated to the production of plant secondary metabolites. - Karat Foods: Startup that seeks to value and develop the potential of the carob tree, a local product of the Valencian Community in order to promote its cultivation and take advantage of its properties. - Modoru Biotech: Project founded by a researcher from the Valencian Institute of Agricultural Research (IVIA), develops innovative and environmentally sustainable biopesticides through the use of gene silencing from dsRNA and nanotechnology.
