The first meeting of the #Innoagents Network was held last Friday, with the participation of our innovation agents Gabriel Estañ Cerezo and Francisco Martínez Hernández. The event brought together nearly 200 professionals from the innovation ecosystem: public institutions, companies, technology centres, biomedical research foundations and universities, among others.

During the event, the fundamental role of innovation agents in the dynamisation and acceleration of innovation processes, connecting talent, knowledge and opportunities, was highlighted.

We would like to thank the Regional Minister for Innovation, Industry, Trade and Tourism, Marián Cano García, for highlighting in her speech two projects in which IDiBE participates: ‘Straw4Footwear’, an initiative carried out together with INESCOP, La Unió Llauradora i Ramadera and Analco Auxiliar Calzado and led at the Miguel Hernández University of Elche by Enrique Barrajón-Catalán, as well as the patent of a drug that we have presented together with Fisabio against glioblastoma, research led by Camino De Juan Romero and Miguel Saceda.

During the event, our innovation agent, Gabriel Estañ, was one of the moderators of the round table ‘Alimentant la innovació’, in which five innovative companies from the Valencian Community participated.

The I Trobada de Innoagents was an enriching space to share experiences, strengthen synergies and continue promoting innovation. We continue building the future!
