    Interpose

    Interpose positions itself as a bold rethinking of how fertilizers are developed and applied in modern agriculture, with a clear focus on corn and soybean production. The product is presented as the outcome of years of field testing and practical experience, resulting in a proprietary blend that aims to balance two priorities often seen as competing: environmental responsibility and strong farm economics. A central idea behind Interpose is its “pounds, not ounces” philosophy. Rather than relying on small, highly diluted applications, the fertilizer delivers substantial concentrations of essential nutrients, ensuring crops receive what they need in meaningful amounts. This approach is framed as a departure from conventional products on the market, which the company suggests may underdeliver on nutrient density or long-term effectiveness. Beyond performance, Interpose is marketed as part of a broader shift in farming practices. By emphasizing efficiency, sustainability, and profitability at the same time, the product is positioned as an answer to the growing pressure on farmers to produce more while minimizing environmental impact. The inclusion of a quote from Edmund Burke about the necessity of change reinforces this message, portraying Interpose not just as another input, but as a deliberate break from outdated agricultural norms and a step toward a more resilient future for crop production.

    NanoPhoria

    NanoPhoria Bioscience is emerging as one of Italy’s most ambitious biotech companies, with a clear focus on transforming how serious heart conditions are treated. The company is developing a new class of inhalable cardiovascular therapies based on a proprietary non-viral, nano-in-micro delivery platform designed specifically for biologics. At the core of this approach is an inorganic calcium-phosphate nanoparticle that enables precise, tissue-directed delivery to the heart—an area where traditional systemic treatments often fall short. This innovative strategy is aimed at tackling chronic and life-threatening cardiac diseases, particularly heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF), by directly improving cardiac function while potentially reducing off-target effects. NanoPhoria’s lead candidate, NP-MP1, is being advanced as a first-in-class therapy that leverages inhalation as a patient-friendly route to reach cardiac tissue efficiently. The company’s momentum was strongly validated by the close of an €83.5 million Series A round, one of the largest ever raised by an Italian biotech at this stage. The financing reflects exceptional investor confidence in NanoPhoria’s technology and vision, and it will be used to accelerate clinical development and bring NP-MP1 closer to patients. More broadly, the round positions NanoPhoria as a standout example of Europe’s growing capability to generate globally competitive biotech innovation, particularly in the high-unmet-need area of cardiovascular disease.

    Valencia’s tech ecosystem

    Since 2021, a new wave of startups has been emerging from Valencia, positioning the city as an increasingly important European hub for early-stage innovation. These young companies span a wide range of industries, yet they share a strong focus on applying advanced technology to solve concrete, market-specific problems. In fintech and real estate, Colibid is rethinking the mortgage process through a digital platform that introduces competitive bidding, while Depa integrates stablecoin-powered payments to simplify and accelerate cross-border transactions. Retail and commerce are also well represented: Flipflow delivers real-time market analytics for retailers, and Kimera Technologies applies AI-driven conversational search to improve the eCommerce experience. Sustainability and deep tech form another strong pillar of Valencia’s startup scene. Matteco is developing non-precious metal catalysts to enable scalable green hydrogen production, and Voltrac is building autonomous electric tractors designed to modernize and decarbonize agriculture. In industrial innovation, Ziknes focuses on large-format industrial 3D printing, opening new possibilities for manufacturing at scale. The ecosystem also includes startups targeting traditionally underserved sectors. billdin provides digital cost and project management tools for the construction industry, MasLeads uses AI to automate and refine B2B lead generation, and Healz offers a healthtech application centered on personalized metabolic health. Taken together, these ten startups illustrate the breadth and ambition of Valencia’s young tech ecosystem. Their diversity—spanning fintech, cleantech, health, AI, and advanced manufacturing—underscores the city’s growing ability to nurture specialized, globally relevant innovation.
