17-Dec-2009 - Spain

Biomodics triumphed from 25 finalists from life sciences, ICT and cleantech in Barcelona, at the Eurecan European Venture Contest Final– winning €90,000 as the choice of an international jury of investors.

The Eurecan European Venture Contest (EEVC), delivered by Europe Unlimited, sponsored by Spanish bank Caja Navarra and supported by major multinationals including Microsoft, challenged nearly 800 companies from across Europe in 2009 for a place in the Final. Companies qualified for the EEVC Top 100, from investment events including the Nordic Venture Forum, Benelux Venture Forum, Tech Media Invest 2009, Cleantech Invest, plus six dedicated contest semi finals in Budapest, Torino, Pamplona, Luxemburg, Düsseldorf and Lisbon.

The Top 25 converged on Barcelona to compete for the title of most investor-ready high tech company in Europe and Biomodics emerged as the jury’s favourite. Runners up were, Liquavista, the Dutch ICT company with a new type of electronic screen technology and ASH DEC, the Austrian cleantech company producing multi-nutrient fertiliser from sewage sludge.

William Stevens, CEO of Europe Unlimited, commented “We have been amazed by the number and quality of high tech companies taking part in the contest this year. In a year of unprecedented challenges for start ups and entrepreneurs, the Top 100, 25 finalists and of course the winner, Biomodics have demonstrated the excellence of Europe’s drive to succeed in high tech. We offer our congratulations to Biomodics and wish them every success in generating investment, which we have no doubt that they will achieve on the strength of their success in the Eurecan European Venture Contest.
