The 7th edition of the Premis Emprenedors Digitals (Digital Entrepreneur Awards), organised by the Catalunya Ràdio programme, took place on Wednesday 18 June at the Antigua Fábrica Damm in Barcelona. The award recognises companies that have demonstrated exceptional growth and innovation in their field.
The work, led by a team from the CSIC and IDIBELL, with the collaboration of IBEC, manages to visualise how embryonic cells eliminate bacterial infections, before the formation of the immune system. The research describes a mechanism of phagocytosis similar to that used by white blood cells, and reveals that this mechanism is also present in human embryos.
An IBEC-led study describes the development of an innovative method to control the formation of crypt-like structures and villi in the intestine using a contact protein printing technique. This model will make it possible to study in detail key processes such as cell regeneration or changes associated with diseases such as cancer and chronic inflammatory disorders.

This spin-off from the Institute for Bioengineering of Catalonia has developed a non-invasive technology that analyses the metabolism of human embryos to select the most suitable ones for implantation. This innovation promises to significantly reduce the time and number of treatment cycles required for in vitro fertilisation. The success of LUMIRIS’ technology has led to a new round of investment of €1.5 million, bringing the total to €6 million since the company was founded in 2023.
A new technique developed at the Institute for Bioengineering for Catalonia (IBEC) makes it possible to classify the quality of embryos faster and twice as accurately as expert embryologists. The technology, called “METAPHOR”, uses imaging and artificial intelligence to analyse the metabolism of embryos and oocytes. METAPHOR promises to drastically reduce the time and treatment cycles needed to achieve pregnancy through in vitro fertilisation, minimising the emotional and financial burden on patients.
