Lanzadera, the Valencia-based business accelerator backed by the Marina de Empresas and sponsored by Juan Roig, welcomes two Alicante-based startups. Bioferric Ink and Behaus join a portfolio of more than one hundred initiatives that benefit from the accelerator’s support program, which has established a benchmark in the Spanish startup scene.
As in prior calls, the selection prioritizes ventures that deliver innovative, distinctive customer value. The leadership believes entrepreneurs will leverage both the renewed acceleration program and the unique ecosystem at Marina de Empresas to accelerate growth, seize opportunities, and create meaningful synergies within this vibrant entrepreneurial hub.
The updated Lanzadera program streamlines its structure by removing certain stages and increasing potential duration to at least six months. Beyond extending timelines, the program emphasizes a diagnostic approach: each startup receives a personalized plan guided by its needs, measured against clear milestones, aims, and maturity. This tailored itinerary is designed to help founders scale sustainably and with solid fundamentals.
Entrepreneurs gain access to a comprehensive set of benefits, including a Total Quality model of training and the core Mercadona-inspired management framework. Mentoring is personalized and led by seasoned experts, offering guidance on financing and investment strategies, as well as access to a broad network of professionals and potential partners.
