More than 50 investors attracted by companies and projects ‘i-Day Spin-Off UPV’
Valencia, Spain, December 4, 2024. The Spin UPV i-Day investment forum was held at the Polytechnic City of Innovation with more than 100 attendees, including investors, agents of the R&D+I ecosystem, corporations, scientific entrepreneurs, members of the UPV’s R&D+I, with representation from companies such as Pons IP or Valencia Sport.
Innventik participated as a specialized provider for spin-offs of consulting services for commercial acceleration and as an engineering firm for the design and scaling of chemical processes.
The meeting connected +50 investors from Deep Tech companies with another 50 entrepreneurs from spin-off projects and knowledge-based companies generated by the Universitat Politècnica de València (UPV). The event, which is part of the Spin UPV program, an initiative aimed at creating spin-offs from the UPV, allowed future and current spin-offs to get closer to capital providers operating in the initial phases of research-based companies.
The event thus facilitated contact between investors and potential UPV spin-off companies undergoing a capitalization round. Each team of researchers presented their spin-off business project in an “Elevator Pitch” in which they described the technologies developed, their business models, market objectives and financing needs to the various investors.
At i-Day 2024 there was a display of entrepreneurial talent and “Deep Tech” companies with the UPV seal. Thus, there were eight spin-off projects generated at the UPV that presented their applied technological innovation capabilities.
Five ‘Spin-Off UPVs’ also showcased their technologies in use and in demand by the target market: Akisei Studios, Celentis, Kenko Imalytics, Tesoro Imaging and Transkiptorium. The spin-off company projects were also presented: BioAgro Tech Solutions, C2Green, GenDelf, ISA Smart Tile, MarineRob, UX Audit, Valyra Aerospace, ZZPharma.
