Project in consortium presented to the call H2020-BBI-JTI-2019 – IA DEMO (H2020-BBI-JTI-2019)topic: BBI-2019-SO3-D3. This project was awarded with the “Synergy Label” by the Bio-based Industries Joint Undertaking (BBI JU)
BioIncubaTech is the High Technology Incubator made for the biotechnological innovation foment and transference in the health and food technology field in SMEs.
BioIncubaTech is an initiative created by the University of Santiago de Compostela (Spain), financed by the INCYDE foundation, included and financed in the FEDER operative program for Intelligent Growth 2014ES16RFOP001, through the Intermediate Organism, Chamber of Commerce in Spain.
BioIncubaTech takes part on the project “High Technology Incubators for the innovation foment and the technology transference to SMEs”, in order to promote a modernization of the region’s productive framework.
i-Grape Laboratory was one of the few companies which were selected in the first call after a selection process among candidates from all over Spain.
Individual project presented by i-Grape to the H2020 EIC SME Instrument phase 2 call in October 2020. The development of the extracts obtained by i-Grape for uses as veterinary medicine, food additives and biopesticide were considered. This project was awarded with the “Seal of Excelence” of the European Commission.
Individual project presented to the GAIN call: <<Aid for the granting of subsidies for the promotion of Galician participation in the Framework Programme for Research and Innovation of the European Union (Horizon 2020).>>. Selected Project
NeoGiANT (The power of grape extracts: antimicrobial and antioxidant properties to prevent the use of antibiotics in farmed animals) is an innovation action (IA) from the H2020 of the EU led by the University of Santiago de Compostela.
The aim of the NeoGiANT project is to develop a series of new products ( animal feed, desease treatment products and sperm preservatives) based on our natural extracts in order to decrease the use of antibiotics in animal husbandry and replace synthetic preservatives.
The i-Grape extracts from grape marc are the whole project base. The new products will have as an active ingredient our extracts obtained from Vitis vinifera through a sustainable and patented extraction process.
The 4-year project financed with more than 8.3 million euros will be carried out by a consortium coordinated by the University of Santiago de Compostela and formed by 20 partners from 9 countries (ES, UK, PL, CZ, HU, DE, PT, BE and AR): 4 higher education institutions (Universities of Santiago de Compostela, Porto, Berlin and South Bohemia in the Czech Republic), 5 research organisations (MRI, IBPRS, VRI, MATE and CONICET), 5 SMEs (i-Grape Laboratory, Contactica, Anitom, LifeBioEncapsulation, Bianor Biotech) and three big companies (CZ Vaccines, Magapor and Nutrition Science)- as well as the Association of Young Farmers (ASAJA) and the Spanish Association for Standardisation (UNE).
i-Grape collaborates with three research groups of the Universities of León and Salamanca in three different projects, funded by the General Foundation of the University of León and the Business (FGULEM) and the General Foundation of the University of Salamanca, respectively, in the framework of the TCUE Plan 2021-2023 (https://www.redtcue.es/tcue/que-es-tcue), co-financed by the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) and the Junta de Castilla y León.
i-Grape extracts have been selected in these projects because of their excellent antimicrobial and antioxidant properties due to its high content of polyphenols (proanthocyanodins). Two research lines will be explored, concerning the treatment of heart failure and the in vitro assays for sperm preservation.

RE-ACCIONA PROGRAM: STRATEGIC DEVELOPMET SERVICE COMPETITIVE POTENTIAL ANALYSIS
Service of the Galician Institute for Economic Promotion – IGAPE, that allows to identify and evaluate the factors which define a company capacity to compete in the market using the methodology to find homogeneous transformation matrices. The aim of this service is to give an answer to the following objectives:
PROGRAMME I INVESTIGATE
‘I Investigate Programme’ enables the recruitment of young researchers seeking employment to carry out research and innovation initiatives, within the framework of the Recovery, Transformation and Resilience Plan. Funded by the European Union-NextGenerationEU and managed through the Department of Employment Promotion and Equality of the Xunta de Galicia.
i-Grape will incorporate, thanks to funding from this programme, a new researcher to its R&D team.
EXTRACTOS NATURALES BIOACTIVOS A PARTIR DE SUBPRODUCTOS AGROALIMENTARIOS COMO SOLUCIONES VERDES PARA UN ENFOQUE “CERO RESIDUOS” EN EL SECTOR AGRÍCOLA (GREENVITISV)
Se trata de un Proyecto de I+D+i en Colaboración Público-Privada, del Programa Estatal para Impulsar la Investigación Científico-Técnica y su Transferencia, del Plan Estatal de Investigación Científica, Técnica y de Innovación 2021-2023, a través de la Agencia Estatal de Innovación (Ministerio de Ciencia e Innovación).
El proyecto GREENVITISV tiene una duración de tres años y se realiza en colaboración con dos entidades públicas: Instituto de Ciencias de la Vid y del Vino, perteneciente a la Agencia Estatal del Consejo superior de Investigaciones científicas (CSIC) y la Axencia Galega da Calidade Alimentaria perteneciente a la Conselleria de Medio Rural (Xunta de Galicia).
Con el objetivo de contribuir a la economía circular y la sostenibilidad del sector agroalimentario, se desarrollarán productos fitosanitarios-pesticidas basados en extractos bioactivos a partir de subproductos de la industria vitivinícola. Estos productos serán formulados para ser utilizados frente a las enfermedades más comunes de los viñedos, reduciendo de esta forma el uso de pesticidas sintéticos. Se explorará también el uso del extracto de bagazo de uva como antioxidante y conservante para su utilización en las bodegas como sustituto del dióxido de azufre, el aditivo más comúnmente empleado en la industria vinícola.
