The project BiogasPLUS, led by members of our group, has recently received renewed financial support and recognition. Encouraged by the Entrepreneurs Fund of Fundación Repsol, the project was presented to the Fourth Call of the Ibero-American Awards to Innovation and Entrepreneurship – organized by the Secretaría General Iberoamericana (SEGIB).

SEGIB is an international organization devoted to strengthen the cooperation between all Ibero-American countries, in what comes to economics, politics and culture. Within this framework, these awards recognize innovation-driven entrepreneurial companies (whether already established or in their initial project stage) led by young teams in Latinamerica, Spain or Portugal.

BiogasPLUS obtained the 2nd award in the “Projects” category, one of the five awards given in this edition of the call. The awarding ceremony took place in Panama City on October 17, 2013, as part of the events of the “IX Encuentro Empresarial Iberoamericano”, and was attended by Enrique Iglesias (Secretary-General of SEGIB), Antonio Brufau (CEO of Repsol) and HRH Felipe, Prince of Asturias (Spain).

For several years, Víctor and several members of our group, together with collaborators, have been carrying on a project on bioconjugation of gold nanoparticles for delivery of cisplatin, an anti-cancer drug. This work has led to a patent that has been now licensed to the Swiss company Nanonica, to create the start-up Nanotargeting as joint venture between Nanonica, ICN, and Ferrer Group.

This story, being an excellent example of technology transfer and entrepreneurship in the biotechnological field, was fully covered by the local newspaper La Vanguardia in the article “Gold in nanotechnology”, by Rosa Salvador, published on May 2, 2012.
