Red.es and the ONE Platform highlight their role at Alhambra Venture 2026

On July 7, 8, and 9, the ONE Platform from Red.es participated in a new edition of Alhambra Venture, one of the leading entrepreneurship and investment events in Southern Europe. During these three days, Granada brought together startups, spin-offs, investors, and other key players in the innovation ecosystem, creating a space for collaboration opportunities, knowledge sharing, and connecting entrepreneurial talent with potential investors.

The presence of the ONE Platform at the event reinforced its role as a meeting point for connecting the different stakeholders within the ecosystem, promoting initiatives aimed at facilitating networking, investment, and knowledge transfer.

Red.es Reaffirms Its Commitment to Innovative Entrepreneurship

Red.es’ institutional participation was led by its Secretary General, Carlos Ruiz de Toledo, who took part in the opening ceremony of Alhambra Venture to reaffirm the organization’s commitment to fostering innovative entrepreneurship.

During his speech, he highlighted that Red.es will continue offering new funding opportunities through future calls financed by FEDER resources, reaffirming the organization’s support for the growth of startups and innovative companies.

He also emphasized the ongoing efforts of the Ministry for Digital Transformation and Public Service to advance Spain’s Startup Law, with measures aimed at reducing bureaucracy, improving tax incentives, and promoting the attraction and retention of talent, thereby contributing to a more favorable environment for entrepreneurship in Spain.

Investor Insight: Spin-offs and Investment

One of the highlights of the ONE Platform’s program was Investor Insight, an activity designed to connect innovative projects with investors through a dynamic format of short presentations. The activity took place in the event’s main auditorium, where an audience of more than eighty attendees witnessed the live interactions.

During the session, eight spin-offs presented their projects before an investor panel composed of Orfeo Balboa (First Drop), Fernando Álvarez (Kaudal), Jesús Ávila (Pinama Flex), Francisco de la Peña (Invertidos), and Alfonso Ayuso (Minos Global).

The first panel featured Alberto Carrillo, presenting Eubiomic Health, a nutritional solution aimed at improving the quality of life of colorectal cancer survivors suffering from severe aftereffects; Jesús Bordallo, with Elastome-AI, a hardware- and AI-based system designed to transform non-invasive skin cancer diagnosis; Javier Ruiz Salinas, with Caresuit-AI, a platform that assists nursing staff and helps anticipate burnout situations; and Rosa de Molina, with Datharsis, focused on providing transparent precision biostatistics models to improve patient stratification and biomarker selection.

The second panel brought together Lucas Renan, with The Monitoring AI, an intelligent monitoring platform capable of anticipating operational incidents through artificial intelligence; Ramón García Vizcaíno, with MouseData.AI, which has developed a deep-tech platform that automates behavioral analysis in animal models through artificial intelligence and proprietary hardware; Antoni Ignasi, with Cellus Medical, focused on hair regeneration for patients undergoing chemotherapy under the motto “Cellus doesn’t transplant, Cellus regenerates”; and Fernando Matías Canale, with Cyclo Energy, whose project converts plastic waste into fuel through proprietary technology.

The presentations showcased the high technological level and potential of the participating spin-offs, addressing challenges in areas such as healthcare, artificial intelligence, biotechnology, and the circular economy. Following the pitches, the projects answered questions from the investor panel, creating a space for dialogue that allowed for a deeper exploration of their proposals and potential collaboration and investment opportunities. The quality of the presentations was so high that every participating spin-off concluded the activity with at least one guaranteed match with one of the attending investors.

ONE Beer & Connect: Creating High-Value Connections

The day continued with ONE Beer & Connect, a speed-networking session designed to facilitate direct interaction between entrepreneurs and investors in a relaxed and informal setting.

More than thirty participants held brief meetings with ten investors, enabling quick and efficient connections within just a few minutes. Despite the short duration of the meetings—timed using a countdown clock projected on one of the venue’s screens—numerous projects succeeded in securing matches with investors. This outcome demonstrated both the quality of the proposals presented and the ability of startups and spin-offs to effectively communicate the value of their initiatives in a fast-paced and dynamic format.

The initiative generated considerable interest among other event attendees, many of whom approached to learn more about the format and even requested to join the activity and register on the ONE Platform, attracted by the networking opportunities it offered.

A Participating Spin-off Recognized Among the Event’s Standout Projects

The event concluded with the Alhambra Venture awards ceremony, where MouseData.AI, one of the spin-offs that participated in Investor Insight, received the award for Best Spin-off. During the activity, the company also secured a match with one of the attending investors, creating a connection made possible through the meeting format promoted by the ONE Platform.

The company develops a platform based on artificial intelligence and proprietary hardware capable of automating behavioral analysis in animal models. This recognition, together with the connection generated during Investor Insight, highlighted the high quality and potential of the projects participating in the activities organized by the ONE Platform.

The ONE Platform Continues Bringing Opportunities to the Entrepreneurial Ecosystem

Participation in Alhambra Venture once again underscores the ONE Platform’s commitment to being present at the leading events within Spain’s entrepreneurial ecosystem.

Through initiatives such as Investor Insight and ONE Beer & Connect, the ONE Platform continues to promote spaces where startups, spin-offs, emerging companies, investors, and other strategic stakeholders can build connections, share knowledge, and create new opportunities for collaboration. As one of the participants, Fernando Matías Canale, explained: “I was able to attend the event thanks to the ONE Platform, which centralizes all entrepreneurship and funding-related events. It offers many opportunities like this one for spin-offs such as mine.”

Similarly, Carmen Carpintero, one of the investors participating in ONE Beer & Connect, highlighted the value of the meetings: “I’ve seen some very interesting projects. I’ve had the opportunity to help entrepreneurs by providing contacts that can support their growth, and with others by encouraging them to share their projects so that investors who aren’t here today can still discover them.”

Following this edition, the ONE Platform will continue participating in leading events across Spain with the aim of bringing new opportunities for visibility, learning, and networking to the entire entrepreneurial and innovation ecosystem.
