TheInvestor Arena meeting of the second edition of BioInvestIT, Italy’s first investment forum entirely dedicated to the circular bioeconomy, conceived by Cluster SPRING in collaboration with the EuropeanCircular Bioeconomy Fund (ECBF) and the support of Bio4Dreams, Terra Next, Scientifica VC and a network of local partners who organized the national Roadshow stages.
The 7 finalist startups of BioInvestIT 2025
BioFashionTech
recycles mixed fabrics (natural and synthetic) using a patented biotechnological process that separates fibers without the use of harsh chemicals, reducing energy and complexity compared to traditional recycling.
Biosyness
Develops an alternative, sustainable bioskin derived from recycling coffee silverskin and other roasting by-products. Offers high performance and customizable for various industries, reducing environmental impact.
B-ME
Is developing bio-based electrodes for batteries and supercapacitors, aiming to reduce CO₂ emissions, eliminate toxic solvents, and improve recyclability of components.
B-Plas
Transforms waste sludge into bioplastics through innovative chemical and biological processes. It offers modular and tailored solutions to support the transition to a circular economy.
Nantoo (Leaf Cycle)
Turns waste plant biomass, such as urban leaves, into resources for the bioeconomy. The LeafCycle project uses patented technology to collect and vacuum-pack leaves, optimizing logistics, costs, and industrial reuse.
WEDS
Transforms mussel and shellfish shell s into high-quality calcium carbonate, offering a sustainable solution to intensive quarrying while reducing environmental impact.
PlantVoice
Has developed a sensor-based “as-a-service” technology. A toothpick-sized device is inserted into the plant stem, collecting internal physiological data (salinity, sap flow), which is transmitted to the cloud and analyzed by a proprietary artificial intelligence.
The event was also the setting for the JACOBACCI Award desired by SPRING, in partnership with Jacobacci & Partners, including an intellectual property consultancy, which was awarded to PlantVoice.
