The Ministry of Education, Science, Universities and Vocational Training, through the Galician Innovation Agency (Axencia Galega de Innovación), has resolved the Recuperación de Excelencia Neotec call. The Galician government is thus rescuing projects from Galician companies that applied for state funding but were excluded due to insufficient credit, aiming to make them viable and prevent their decline due to lack of support.
The five beneficiary companies are recently established firms (founded between 2022 and 2024), with a registered office or workplace in Galicia, specializing in advanced knowledge areas. All of them hold the Neotec Seal and met the minimum evaluation thresholds of the Neotec program by the Centre for Technological Development and Innovation (CDTI) in its 2025 call.
Each of the selected SMEs will receive up to a maximum of €325,000 until 2028. The initiatives combine artificial intelligence, new materials, biotechnology, and advanced simulation, contributing to the generation of high added-value economic activity, in line with the strategic STEP sectors (Strategic Technologies for Europe Platform).
The supported companies are Slimop Space (Nigrán), developing innovative space telescopes; Sedna International Institute (Gondomar), applying artificial intelligence to finance for ethical and sustainable investment models; Sortcell Analytica (Vigo), focused on liquid biopsy technologies for isolating circulating tumor cells; Nsilica Simulation Technologies (Nigrán), developing biomechanical simulation and AI tools for prosthetics and implants; and Corpus Computacional Biomechanics (Viveiro), applying AI and advanced simulation to generate anatomical digital twins of the spine for surgical planning.
