Intelligent platform for agrifood microprotection
About this startup
MicroIN is a biotechnology company developing an intelligent formulation platform to improve the stability, viability, and performance of biological products. By combining microencapsulation, cell protection technologies, and data-driven formulation design, MicroIN helps companies transform sensitive biological ingredients into more robust, scalable, and commercially viable products.
Through a B2B model, MicroIN works with companies in agriculture and industrial biotechnology to diagnose formulation challenges, align the appropriate technology, validate performance, and support implementation. Its platform can significantly extend shelf life, improve biological viability and stress tolerance, reduce formulation trial and error, and enable lighter, more efficient product formats.

Victoria Conde
Co-founder & CSO
I am a researcher with a background in biological sciences, specializing in cell protection methods, bioremediation, and the environmental impact of pollutants on health. Throughout my career, I have explored the intersection of food production, health, and sustainability, addressing environmental challenges from an integral scientific approach. During my Ph.D., I focused on developing efficient methods to apply microorganisms and remove contaminants from the environment and soil. I have participated in diverse research projects and global environmental monitoring. I currently lead a science communication journal to help make scientific information more accessible and to promote the use of natural technologies from an ethical perspective. To further drive the creation of new and improved biological products, I co-founded MicroIN Corp., a science-based company focused on developing biological product formulations using cutting-edge microencapsulation technology. I currently work as Chief Scientific Officer (CSO) at MicroIN, where I continue contributing to generating knowledge for developing alternatives that improve the quality of life as well as human and environmental health. I always enjoy meeting and collaborating with people passionate about creating sustainable solutions and supporting one another forward from different perspectives.
