This post, as Ander López Delgado of Basque Culinary Center states, is aimed at giving the audience an insightful glimpse into the vibrant world of foodtech and it does a good job at that. As part of the the newsletter - The VC Corner by Rubén D., it is well written with some well captured the big problems and the big picture of the food-tech-ecosystem and value chain which touches each one of us directly and in-directly at the same time. An example is the big trends (referred from DigitalFoodLab) and more like that. There are more like that in that. #FoodTech #AgriTech #Climatecrisis #FoodSecurity #PrecisionFarming https://lnkd.in/dV45ewZc

The combined enterprise value (EV) of Spanish startups surpassed €100 billion in 2023. It puts Spain ahead of Norway, Italy or Portugal. The value of Spanish tech is also one of the fastest growing in Europe, not forgetting that France reached €100 billion in combined startup EV six years ago, and Germany nine years ago. With a combined value of $191 billion, only Cambridge’s tech ecosystem alone is almost worth double Spain’s. We have a lot of work to do! #startups #enterprisevalue #ecosystem

The value of Spanish tech is growing faster than other key ecosystems like France or Germany. We are catching up! 2. There is more than just Madrid and Barcelona as tech hubs. Valencia, Bilbao or Málaga are thriving. 3. If we take out the "lunacy" years of 2021-2022, the investment deployed in Spain follows a positive trend, with +2B invested in 2023. 4. There is still a lot to do, to ensure more female-led projects are funded, only 12% of VC investment since 2019 was made into their startups. 5. The future looks promising, Spain is where France was 5 years ago. If we do things right with support from all stakeholders we can create incredible value in terms of jobs and local wealth. 6. More and more collaboration with international funds is happening, as our local VC firms mature and achieve more relevant size and reach.
