The Fundación Innovación y Desarrollo (FIDBAN), in collaboration with Cadena SER in Santander, will hold its 26th Investor Round on Wednesday, March 11, 2026. The event will take place at 9:30 a.m. in the Exhibition Hall of the Universidad Europea del Atlántico, located at PCTCAN.

This new edition strengthens Cantabria’s role as a hub for smart capital, featuring two projects focused on industrial digitalization and the protection of critical infrastructure using artificial intelligence.

Selected Projects: Innovation in Manufacturing and Security

For this edition, FIDBAN’s Investor Committee has selected two high-tech proposals:

  • Manfacter is a deep-tech startup that digitalizes and simplifies on-demand industrial part manufacturing through a platform connecting companies with manufacturing needs to a qualified network of producers. The startup has developed proprietary technology that enables instant quotations, tracks the entire manufacturing process from start to finish, and reduces cycles that traditionally took weeks to just a few days. Manfacter transforms a fragmented industrial process into an agile, transparent, and scalable workflow.
  • Panssari develops a dual-use security platform for critical infrastructure based on AI and multisensor fusion (RF/UWB, vision, and real-time analytics). Its technology, applicable in both civilian and defense environments, detects intrusions and anomalies, improves operational traceability, and reduces false alarms, integrating seamlessly with existing systems. Operating under a hybrid hardware + SaaS model, it is designed for scalable deployment in ports, energy, industry, and other high-security assets.

Event Details

The event is supported by key institutions such as SODERCAN, FUNIBER, CITICAN, CEOE-CEPYME Cantabria, and the municipalities of Santander and Torrelavega.
