The following section presents a selection of Argentine startups operating across various strategic sectors, which have reached significant technology milestones and are currently in open investment rounds.

BIOTECHNOLOGY AND LIFE SCIENCES

Infira (AgTech / Biotech)
Develops a platform capable of transforming annual commercial crops into varieties that regrow and produce across multiple cycles, sustaining high productivity levels and removing the need to resow after each harvest. The resulting agricultural system is oriented towards regenerating soil, reducing input waste, and lowering production costs. In 2026 the company received the WIPO Global Award from the World Intellectual Property Organization, having been selected among more than 1,300 candidacies from 126 countries, and its CEO, Renata Reinheimer, was recognised as Best Woman Entrepreneur in the same competition.

Crofabiotech (Life Sciences / MedTech)
Develops genetically edited organs for transplant, including kidney and heart xenotransplants, as a response to the global shortage of donor organs. Founded in 2022 and incubated at the Biotechnology Research Institute of UNSAM with 4,000 m² of laboratories, it works with CRISPR/Cas9 gene editing, xenotransplantation, and advanced reproductive biotechnology. In July 2026, a consortium formed with the Faculty of Veterinary Sciences of the University of Buenos Aires and UNSAM announced the birth of a cloned, genetically modified pig for research purposes.

Vesicly (Regenerative Medicine)
Develops regenerative medicine products based on exosomes derived from mesenchymal stem cells. Its platform combines scalable vesicle production, stable lyophilized formulations, and controlled delivery through 3D-printable hydrogels, with applications in cosmeceuticals, chronic wound care, and research. It was awarded the Draper Grant at the Deep-Tech for Smart Longevity Demo Day and has signed three letters of intent with partners in the cosmetics industry.

Limay Biosciences (Biotech)
Develops fast, portable, and accessible molecular diagnostic platforms combining molecular biology, microengineering, and artificial intelligence. Its portable technology brings quality diagnostics to the point of care, improving clinical accuracy and helping combat antibiotic resistance in regions with limited access to accurate diagnostics.

Arakion (Agricultural biotechnology)
Develops next-generation peptide insecticides based on arachnid venoms, addressing pest resistance and the lack of new modes of action in crop protection. It combines computational design, synthetic biology, and molecular optimization to transform natural compounds into effective, selective, and scalable solutions.

Moka Bio (Biotech)
Bioinformatics platform based on artificial intelligence and multi-agent architecture that accelerates the discovery and development of natural bioactives. It enables the analysis of large data volumes, simulation of extraction and formulation processes, prediction of mechanisms of action, and identification of intellectual property opportunities prior to experimental validation.

Circa Therapeutics (Biotech)
Biotechnology startup focused on developing innovative therapies based on targeted protein degradation, aimed at treating diseases with high unmet medical needs, including rare cancers and complex pathologies.

AGTECH AND FOODTECH

Nunatak Biotech (AgTech / Bioinputs)
Develops biological solutions derived from extremophile microorganisms to improve the performance of winter crops under stress conditions such as extreme cold, salinity, and nutrient scarcity. Drawing on twenty years of Antarctic research, the team has assembled a bank of more than 400 extremophile strains and works across bioprospecting and bioinformatics.

Apolo Biotech (AgTech / Sustainable Agriculture)
Develops RNA-based crop protection and adaptation solutions. Applied to foliage, the molecules activate the plant's own defenses, interfere with pathogen genes, or assist the plant in adapting to stress, offering a GMO-free alternative. It won the SantanderX Global Award in 2023 and the World Food Prize Foundation's Innovate for Impact Challenge in 2025, and receives funding from the Inter-American Development Bank.

Origen Bagazo (Circular Bioeconomy / FoodTech)
Circular bioeconomy and innovation platform working since 2019 on the comprehensive valorisation of agro-industrial biomass. Its first validation platform focuses on spent brewery grain, the largest biomass stream generated in beer production, which it stabilises and separates close to source into solid and liquid fractions, both valorised simultaneously through a circular biorefinery model. The solid fraction yields BAGHARINA®, a functional powdered ingredient rich in fibre and protein for the food industry, together with a family of baked goods and functional snacks; the liquid fraction yields the ORIGIN® line of nutritional beverages and an organic soil amendment, with biofertilizers and biostimulants under development. The company operates an industrial plant in Quilmes, Province of Buenos Aires, holds a patent registered with Argentina's National Institute of Industrial Property, participates in the European BREW-IN project, and is a finalist in the FOODRISE 2026 scale-up programme.

Sensify (FoodTech)
Turns refrigeration equipment into smart assets that generate actionable data to optimize technical, commercial, and environmental performance. Its operating system for commercial refrigeration integrates connected infrastructure, artificial intelligence, and specialized support, enabling food and beverage brands to manage their cooler networks more efficiently, profitably, and sustainably.

DEEPTECH, CLEANTECH AND CRITICAL MINERALS

Alkemio (DeepTech / CleanTech / Critical Minerals)
Develops compact, modular refineries for the processing of rare earth oxides, critical minerals for electric vehicles, wind energy, semiconductors, and defense. Its molecular recognition technology, based on selective ligands and hydrometallurgy, reports recovery rates above 87% and purity above 99%, within a more compact infrastructure than solvent extraction, the current industry standard. The company operates from Berkeley and Buenos Aires.

FINTECH AND ENTERPRISE SAAS

Ingenii (FinTech)
Technology platform that optimizes corporate fleet expense management through smart cards and real-time control. It automates expense reporting, sets customized spending rules, and centralizes information in a dashboard with advanced analytics, reducing operating costs, errors, and fraud.

Minexus (Supply Chain SaaS / Industrial B2B)
Platform that optimizes corporate procurement and supplier relationships in complex industries such as mining, energy, oil, manufacturing, and construction. It intelligently connects supply and demand, digitizing and automating the supplier lifecycle, evolving toward an AI- and blockchain-powered reverse B2B marketplace.

MOBILITY AND SMART CITIES

Ualabee (Smart Cities / MobilityTech)
Comprehensive urban mobility platform combining B2B and B2C solutions to optimize transport in highly congested Latin American cities. Through real-time data, advanced analytics, and artificial intelligence, it connects transport operators, governments, and end users in a single ecosystem, improving the efficiency of the mobility system.

OTHER DIGITAL PLATFORMS AND SERVICES

WorkON (HRTech / Labor Marketplace)
Geolocation-based mobile platform that connects companies with nearby workers in real time, optimizing hiring for high-turnover roles. Its neighborhood-based employment ecosystem reduces recruitment times, operating costs, and absenteeism, while improving workers' quality of life by minimizing commuting.

Exporta Ya (TradeTech / SME Internationalization)
