\u00abStartup Day 2025: catalyzing agri-food innovation\u00bb<\/strong> It is a day organized by AgrotecUV<\/strong> and BIOVEGEN<\/strong>, focused on promoting innovation in the agri-food sector. The event will bring together startups incubated at AgrotecUV, leading companies in the sector, researchers and investors to explore innovative and sustainable solutions in the agri-food sector.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Throughout the day, disruptive startups will be presented, pioneering success stories such as the use of phages to combat Xylella fastidiosa<\/em>, and debate will be encouraged at a round table with leading companies from the AgrotecUV Community in the sector. In addition, experts will share advances in agricultural remote sensing, pest control and food, culminating in a strategic vision on technological trends and investment in the sector.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This meeting is a unique opportunity to connect with the agrifood ecosystem, learn about innovative projects and establish collaborations that promote the transfer of knowledge to the productive sector. The event will also allow participating professionals to hold bilateral meetings, in previously scheduled meetings that will take place in the networking spaces provided.<\/mark><\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
