Pascual Innoventures is the open innovation arm of Pascual, and immerses itself in the entrepreneurial ecosystem to create alliances with startups that share the same philosophy; anticipating global food needs and giving back to society.
We are in this intergalactic journey together with a leading strategy partner, like Eatable Adventures, and a technology partner, like CNTA, to provide world class knowledge supported by excellent facilities accessible from anywhere.
Leading funds investing in startups working on technologies for developing protein alternatives in the agri-food sector, such as Blue Horizon, Unovis or Ninepointfive, a venture capital fund specialised in leveraging corporate acceleration, will also monitor Mylkcubator’s technological developments to advise these startups and look for future collaboration opportunities to maximize the potential of their projects.
These four promising startups are set to lay the foundations for a new path of development and innovation for the dairy industry and respond to the big challenges it faces.
