At Bialtec, we believe innovation can transform animal nutrition and contribute to global well-being. Our recent participation in Grow-NY 2024, one of the most prestigious international competitions in the agri-food sector, stands as a testament to this commitment.
What is Grow-NY, and Why is it Important?
Grow-NY is a renowned competition that brings together the world’s most innovative startups in agriculture and food. Held annually in Ithaca, New York, it serves as a platform to showcase groundbreaking technologies, connect with industry experts, and compete for a prize.
Being selected as one of the 20 finalists was not only an honor for Bialtec but also an incredible opportunity to demonstrate how our biotech-driven, microencapsulated probiotics are revolutionizing sustainable animal nutrition.
The Road to Grow-NY
Our journey began with the Soft Landing program, a transformative experience that helped us deeply understand the U.S. market. With the guidance of mentors like Derek Simmonds and valuable connections with key players, including dairy nutritionists, we refined our strategy to adapt to the complexities of the North American ecosystem.
Additionally, visits to prestigious institutions like Cornell University enriched our vision and laid the foundation for future research and development collaborations.
A Memorable Recognition!
The highlight of our Grow-NY participation was receiving the Audience Choice Award, a special acknowledgment that validates our efforts and reflects the trust of those who see Bialtec as a real solution to today’s industry challenges. Along with this honor, we received a prize that we will reinvest in our mission to keep innovating.
Beyond the Prize
While the recognition is significant, the true value of this experience lies in the doors it has opened. Connecting with the livestock market in New York, building strategic relationships, and gaining a deeper understanding of global needs motivate us to continue moving forward in our international expansion.
At Bialtec, every step we take reinforces our purpose: to transform animal nutrition with sustainable and effective solutions that benefit both producers and the planet.
Thank you for joining us on this exciting journey! We remain committed to innovation and creating a positive impact.
