The Spaniards are located in the tail of the countries with a large income when doing business. Only three of the ten Spaniards undertake 16 percentage points below the average of the European Union, according to the Gem Spain 2018-2019 report.
However, Spain has large entrepreneurial projects that have even become unicorns, on technology -based companies that achieve a value of at least $ 1,000 million. Although they still have different rounds of Zelaros and natural machines, financing from entrepreneurs and representatives of the European Union have addicted.
Spain is one of the countries, together with France, with two nominations at the EIT Awards organized by the European Innovation Institute. The EIT nominees of 2019 have been chosen as the most excellent graduates, entrepreneurs and innovatives that supports the EIT community as part of their efforts to enter into world challenges.
«Due to the largest European innovation network, the events is to improve innovation throughout Europe. The EIT Awards show our impulse in the transition to a more ecological, healthy and sustainable society and our support to change the lives of citizens. I am proud that the eggs support talented innovators who create a better future for us, for Europe, ”says Dirk Jan van den Berg, president of the EIT Board.
The European Union Divided into eight communities works to stimulate a carbon -free economy, to stimulate the digital transformation of Europe, to look for sustainable energy and to resolve the mobility challenges of our cities, among other things.
Spain is nominated by Eit Climate-Kic and EIT food through Zelaros and natural machines respectively. The EIT Awards ceremony will be held in Budapest on 15 October 2019 during the annual EIT Innovation Forum, Innoveit. “The nominees show the support of the EIT of creative and talent people through a space where ideas can develop to make them products and services that benefit all Europe and their citizens,” says Tibor Navracsics, European Commissioner for Education, Culture, Youth and Sport, responsible for the EIT.
In the search for better mobility, the speed of Zelers comes into play. Based on Valencia, this young company wants to make competition with a high Spanish speed with the popular hyperloop.
Last May the Spanish company launched a financing round of five million euros for the development of the vehicle prototype, which expects that it will be drawn up in 2024 for the implementation in goods and in 2027 for the passenger market.
Zeleros develops a scalable system that minimizes infrastructure costs by integrating the most important technologies into an autonomous vehicle that moves thanks to magnetic levitation systems within a low -pressure pipe network.
3D
Nomination of natural machines comes through Eit -food to ‘send the world revolution in food innovation and production’. This Spanish company has developed a 3D printer to print and cook fresh ingredients.
With foodinipro, as the machine is called, you can prepare food with the help of three -dimensional printing technology, making it possible to give any shape to the food that “print”, both sweet and salt, such as hamburgers, bread, chocolate or pasta.

In fact, the functioning of foodinipro is very similar to that of a conventional 3D printer, although instead of ink the machine is loaded with a maximum of five capsules with ingredients to make creative effects.
The Catalan company is now working on adjusting the printer to domestic kitchens. This machine, instead of ink, is full of a maximum of five capsules with ingredients to make creative effects
