Key Results
x6 portfolio value increase (during program)
€10M investment commitment over 3 years

The Challenge
Spain had strong science and emerging foodtech talent, but too many startups lacked the industrial connection and structured execution needed to become scale-ready market players.
The Intervention
- Built and ran a high-performance program led by Eatable Adventures, partnering with CNTA for technical validation and ICEX for global reach.
- Delivered a customized 6-month work plan focused on market success and investment readiness
- Activated an industry partner network (incl. Alianza Team, Mahou, Pascual, Sigma) to connect startups with real market needs.
The Impact
A repeatable national engine that helps Spanish startups move from promising technology to market-ready execution — capable of attracting international tier-1 investors.
Building the “Marca España” of food innovation, not with slogans, but with technology.
