BBioAmmo
BioAmmo is a Spanish biotechnology and manufacturing company based in Segovia that develops, produces, and distributes biodegradable, lead-free ammunition (shotgun cartridges) for hunting and sport shooting, using a patented bioplastic replacing traditional plastic wads and lead pellets. It operates what it calls Europe's most modern ammunition production facility and holds 'Pyme Innovadora' (innovative SME) status in Spain. The company is not a typical VC-track tech startup but has raised growth/institutional financing from regional and venture investors.
