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:
Colfeed4Print – Novel materials expand use-cases for 3D-printing
Colfeed4Print develops and manufactures high-quality materials for 3D printing. With their patented process technology, the company creates filaments with exceptional properties, that can be used with inexpensive off-the-shelf printers, allowing customers to print customized structures for a wide range of demanding applications such as medical technology, energy devices and advanced manufacturing.
Why we are excited about them: Since their spin-off of the Spanish National Research Council (CSIC) in 2020, Colfeed4Print has relied on grants to fund their growth and to develop a range of different products which they are already selling. In 2025, CEO and co-founder Juan Antonio Escribano is focusing on rolling out their newest product which can be used to create personalized dental implants, targeting over 60.000 dental clinics across Europe.
Connecta Therapeutics – Treating untreatable nervous system disorders
Connecta Therapeutics is a biotechnology company founded in 2019 which develops new treatments for central nervous system disorders. Their initial focus is on the development of a novel Molecule for the treatment of fragile X syndrome, an inherited genetic disorder which currently cannot be treated and affects 3 in every 10.000 people, causing intellectual disabilities and other manifestations such as autism.
Why we are excited about them: In February, Connecta Therapeutics has been selected for a grant and equity funding of €2.500.000 under the EIC Accelerator program. With these funds, CEO Jordi Fabrega and his team plan to build on the positive results from its recently concluded Phase I clinical trial of its neurodevelopmental disorder drug CTH120 and commence with Phase IIa clinical trials in 2025.
QCentroid – Making quantum computing accessible to non-experts
QCentroid was founded in 2022 with the goal to make quantum computing accessible for companies of all sizes facing complex computational challenges. The company develops quantum algorithms for different quantum hardware solutions and makes these available to clients through a user-friendly platform which does not require extensive technical expertise or infrastructure investments.
Why we are excited about them: After participating in the QAI Ventures Accelerator Program in 2024 QCentroid has already succeeded in winning customers such as financial institutions analyzing credit risks, logistics companies optimizing route and truckloads and mobility providers planning the placement of EV-chargers. In 2025, CEO Carlos Kuchkovsky plans get the company ready to scale as the second wave of quantum adoption continues.
THEKER – Enabling robots to replace hard work
Theker founded in 2020, incorporates computer vision and deep learning into industrial robots. Its systems enable robots to detect, identify and manipulate materials in dynamic and challenging environments in real time. They eliminate the need to program each movement separately and as a result allow for complex processes in different industries to be automated, reducing the dependence on manual labor.
Why we are excited about them: The company is already working with clients in sectors such as logistics, manufacturing and waste management. In February 2025, Theker raised funding of €2.000.000 in a seed-round with the participation of JME Ventures, Mission VC, S16VC and Itnig Capital. Co-founder Carla Gómez plans to use these funds to further develop the technology applications and to expand the team.
UniSCool – Cooling the AI revolution
Today, data centers spend around 40% of their energy on cooling, a portion that will continue to rise with the proliferation of AI and high-performance computing. Founded in 2022, UniSCool aims to revolutionize the way electronic systems are cooled. Their patented direct-to-chip liquid cooling technology improves thermal performance and reduces energy consumption by 70%.
Why we are excited about them: With support from the Collider, UniScool finished the development of a laboratory validated prototype in 2024. For 2025, CEO Ramón Jiménez and his team plan to roll out industrial prototypes to market the technology on a larger scale. With AI-specific power consumption projected to grow at an annual rate of +45% over the next years, we believe there is a huge opportunity for UniSCool 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.
