The initiative, linked to the Ministry of Science, Innovation and Universities, recognizes projects that promote more innovative cities. Fibras Naturales Canarias was presented to the competition by the City Council of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria.
In addition to the Award for Rural Innovation Project for Territorial Cohesion, the company received the public's choice award, given by the 128 cities that make up the Red Innpulso. This event aims to connect cities with innovative SMEs and startups to showcase local talent and foster collaboration.
Fibras Naturales Canarias stands out for its circular economy model, using waste from banana plants to create natural fibers. These materials have applications in sectors such as textiles, bioplastics, construction, and animal feed, thus connecting agriculture with industry to offer more sustainable products.
