Open Innovation
We connect technology, talent and ecosystem to innovate without borders
Need
Innovation no longer happens only within organisations. Increasingly, it emerges at the edges: in startups, platforms, hubs, accelerators, investment funds and open networks. To generate solutions with real impact, AINIA needs , collaborating through an open, agile and strategic approach.
Scope
Open innovation at AINIA is a professionalised and strategic model that goes far beyond supporting startups. We drive technological collaborations, participation in open innovation programmes, networks with investors and accelerators, and connections with public and private initiatives.
From programmes such as StartBEC to technology validation services for investment entities or European consortia including mentoring, AINIA acts as a reference node.

StartBEC
A key element of this strategy is StartBEC, the technology support programme for startups in the bioeconomy promoted by AINIA with the support of the Ministry of Agriculture. In its first two editions, it has supported 17 startups with advanced technological services, specialised training, technical placements, and connections to our network of associated companies. StartBEC not only accelerates entrepreneurial projects, but also reinforces AINIA’s role as a key player in the transition towards a more sustainable and innovative economy.
