CEEI Valencia starts Startech Innovation programme with ten early-stage Valencian start-ups

The story so far, in brief; the legwork, and the full article, stay with the original outlet.

Ten young Valencian tech companies have begun Startech Innovation, a three-month mentoring programme run by CEEI Valencia. It is an initiative of the Generalitat Valenciana's Directorate General for Innovation, sits under Horizonte Tech, and is coordinated by the CEEI network of Valencia, Castellón and Elche. Each start-up gets up to 30 hours of mentoring on enabling technologies and business strategy: a review of its model, then a roadmap for adopting technology, with milestones and indicators. In December they present results and next steps to investors and others. No money is mentioned; the currency here is advice.

The ten are Emernova (crop monitoring with drones and sensors), Muvatech Ingeniería (drone inspection of solar installations), Quotes AI (automated quotes for industrial manufacturers from plans and 3D files), Data Origin (finding and prioritising sales leads at trade fairs), Educavet Formación Veterinaria (on-demand micro-courses for vets), Singular Spark (invoicing for freelancers and small firms), AIMA Biotech (microbiota analysis by genetic sequencing, for health and for soil), SAUCO Technologies (AI agents for back-office processes), NICHE Biosciences (probiotic and postbiotic ingredients) and Todo lo que Aptc (travel booking through short videos). Artificial intelligence features in six of the ten descriptions, drones in two.

The kick-off at CEEI Valencia also included a session on communicating effectively, given by the journalist Maribel Vilaplana.
