Central role in BIOFRUITNET (organic fruit knowledge networks), COOPID (bioeconomy cluster dissemination), SISTERS (food waste good practice guides), and BIOSCHAMP dissemination.
EURIZON SL
Spanish SME specializing in knowledge transfer, dissemination, and business model development for agri-food and bioeconomy research projects across Europe.
Their core work
Eurizon (operating as Innovarum) is a Spanish SME focused on knowledge transfer, dissemination, and business model development within the agri-food and bioeconomy sectors. They help bridge the gap between research outputs and market uptake — designing communication strategies, building practitioner networks, and developing innovative business models for bio-based value chains. Their project portfolio spans food waste reduction, bio-based packaging, organic farming knowledge networks, and biomass valorisation, consistently playing the role of the partner that ensures research results reach farmers, SMEs, and industry.
What they specialise in
Contributed to GreenProtein (vegetable protein recovery), Pro-Enrich (rapeseed/olive/tomato bioactives), OLEAF4VALUE (olive leaf biorefinery), and VALUEWASTE (urban biowaste valorisation).
Active in SISTERS (systemic food waste reduction with smart packaging/labelling), VALUEWASTE (circular economy from urban biowaste), and GreenProtein (revalorising processing remnants).
Participated in BIOFRUITNET (organic fruit production) and BIOSCHAMP (sustainable mushroom cultivation with biostimulants).
Coordinated ECOLUP (smart collect points for fruit/vegetable supply chains) and contributed to SISTERS (short supply chain, smart containers, QR labelling).
How they've shifted over time
In their early H2020 period (2016–2018), Eurizon focused broadly on circular economy, resource efficiency, waste management, and social innovation — participating in projects that explored new business models for the bioeconomy and citizen engagement. From 2019 onward, they sharpened their focus toward practical knowledge transfer networks, organic agriculture, bioeconomy cluster coordination, and bio-based product development (biostimulants, biorefinery, smart food packaging). The shift is clear: from general circular economy concepts to hands-on dissemination and adoption support for specific agri-food technologies.
Eurizon is moving deeper into structured knowledge transfer and peer-to-peer dissemination for sustainable food systems, making them an increasingly valuable partner for projects that need to reach farmers and food-sector SMEs with practical adoption support.
How they like to work
Eurizon overwhelmingly participates as a partner (8 of 9 projects) rather than leading consortia, with only one coordination role (ECOLUP, an SME Phase 1 feasibility study). They consistently join large, multi-partner consortia — their 118 unique partners across 24 countries confirm they are well-connected and comfortable in diverse European teams. This pattern suggests they are a reliable, low-friction partner who brings dissemination and business development capacity without competing for technical leadership.
Eurizon has built a broad European network of 118 unique partners across 24 countries, reflecting their participation in large agri-food and bioeconomy consortia. Their reach is pan-European with no obvious geographic clustering beyond their Spanish base.
What sets them apart
Eurizon fills a specific niche that many research consortia struggle to cover: the "last mile" between scientific results and real-world adoption in the food and bioeconomy sectors. As a Spanish SME with experience across 9 H2020 projects, they bring practical expertise in building practitioner networks, designing dissemination strategies, and developing business models that help translate lab results into market-ready solutions. For consortium builders, they solve the perennial problem of how to make sure project outputs actually reach and are used by farmers, food processors, and SMEs.
Highlights from their portfolio
- SISTERSTheir largest project by funding (EUR 428,400), running until 2026, focused on systemic food waste reduction through smart packaging, QR labelling, and short supply chains — their most ambitious and longest-running engagement.
- ECOLUPTheir only coordinated project (SME Phase 1), demonstrating entrepreneurial ambition with a smart logistics concept for shortening fruit and vegetable supply chains.
- COOPIDDirectly reflects their core value proposition — building bioeconomy cluster networks and peer-to-peer knowledge transfer, with their largest role in dissemination coordination.
