At Scale CFO Services, we’re always on the lookout for high-potential startups pushing the boundaries of innovation. This month’s top five companies are making waves with cutting-edge technology. Here’s why you should keep them on your radar:
2Eyes Vision – Reducing uncertainty before eye surgery
Founded in 2015, 2Eyes Vision focuses on improving the treatment of aging eye condition and cataract, which affects over 2 billion people worldwide. With over 100 different lenses available in the market, it is often difficult for surgeons to determine which one is best for the individual patient. 2Eyes Vision has developed an easy-to-use device which simulates real vision, allowing surgeons together with their patients to select the right lense, increasing patient satisfaction and reducing side effects after surgery.
Why we are excited about them: At the end of April 2025, 2Eyes Vision launched a funding round seeking a total of EUR 2.000.000 with backing from existing investors Bullnet Capital, CDTI and ENISA. With this investment 2Eyes Vision aims to accelerate its technology development and to expand their presence both locally as well as internationally to position them as a key player in the global ophthalmology market.
Arkadia Space – Green propulsion systems made in Europe
Since its founding in 2020, Arkadia Space has been working to revolutionize space mobility with green propulsion systems. In a sector where hydrazine has remained the standard despite its toxicity and high operational costs, Arkadia has developed a real alternative: propulsion systems relying on highly concentrated hydrogen peroxide. In March 2025, Arkadia reached a major milestone by successfully launching its innovative solution aboard D-Orbits ION satellite, becoming the first European company to achieve this feat.
Why we are excited about them: In February 2025, Arkadia closed its first commercial contract with MaiaSpace, a leading European launcher company. In April, Arkadia Space received fresh funding from CDTI alongside existing investor Draper B1. With this financial backing, Arkadia Space is poised to secure additional commercial contracts throughout 2025 and to position itself as prominent player in the field of propulsion.
Kerionics – Enabling the transition to green hydrogen
Founded in 2024, Kerionics specializes in the development of components for high temperature electrolysers which are needed to reach the European Union’s ambitious goal to produce 100 GW of green hydrogen by 2030. Kerionics SOEL-technology offers significantly higher energy efficiency compared to existing approaches, making it an ideal choice for reducing the production costs of green hydrogen and for decarbonizing high-energy-consuming process industries which previously had to rely on fossil fuels.
Why we are excited about them: In April 2025, Kerionics secured EUR 12.800.000 in financing from the European Union for building a factory to produce SOC electrolyzers in Valencia. With a total investment volume of EUR 37.700.000, this will establish the first automated production line for SOC electrolyzers in Spain. This project affirms Kerionics role a key player in the future European energy landscape.
Nanobots Therapeutics – Using nanobots to treat cancer
Founded in 2023 in Barcelona, Nanobots Therapeutics is developing therapies using nanorobots capable of self-propelling in body fluids and crossing complex biological barriers. These nanovehicles enable the delivery of treatments directly to target tissue. Their first area of focus is bladder cancer, which causes 45.000 deaths per year in Europe and is one of the most expensive cancers to treat. In preclinical studies in mice, nanobots have been shown to reduce tumor sizes by up to 90% with a single application.
Why we are excited about them: In December 2024, Nanobots Therapeutics first secured EUR 960.000 in seed-funding backed by Acció and several business angels, directly followed by an oversubscribed crowdfunding round, in which 300 private individuals invested an additional EUR 920.000 into the company. With this funding, the company plans to complete preclinical studies and move towards first-in-human trials planned for 2028. Next steps include efficacy testing in animal models and the development of a regulatory and manufacturing plan.
qurv – Transforming industries by enabling machines to see more
Spun out of ICFO in 2020, qurv develops wide-rante image sensor and solutions which enable enhanced computer vision applications. Their infrared image sensors operate across the visible to the short-wave infrared range and can be integrated with current CMOS low-cost semiconductor manufacturing processes. By enabling machines to see better and more, qurv aims to unlock new functionalities for applications including automotive, XR and robotics. Their cost-effective, plug-and-play technology has the potential to transform industries that seek advanced autonomy, intelligence and perception.
Why we are excited about them: In June 2025, qurv received EUR 2.900.000 in funding from the Spanish Ministry of Industry and Tourism through the PERTE Chip initiative, a national program driving breakthrough innovation in deep tech. With this solid financial backing, qurv plans to further advance the development of its next-generation computer vision technology.
These startups exemplify the innovation and ambition driving the high-tech ecosystem in Spain. Stay tuned as they continue to reshape their industries and push the limits of what’s possible.
