Matteco was recently selected as a finalist for the prestigious Future Unicorn Award 2025. This award, presented by DIGITALEUROPE, acknowledges emerging European technology companies that exhibit the potential to become industry leaders.

The award ceremony took place on February 19th during a VIP gala dinner at the Masters of Digital event. Supported by 41 national associations representing over 46,000 companies in the European digital industry, the award boasts a jury comprised of distinguished individuals from the venture capital, technology, and defense innovation sectors.

Reaching the finals for this award signifies a remarkable achievement in Matteco’s trajectory. This recognition further propels our mission to utilize advanced materials to accelerate decarbonization and spearhead the next generation of hydrogen technology.

Matteco has successfully demonstrated its ability to innovate and manufacture from Valencia, Spain, and cater to a global market, thereby contributing to Europe’s green reindustrialization.

This accomplishment is attributed to the dedication and hard work of our 40 talented team members who are driven by a passion for innovation. We extend our sincere gratitude to the University of Valencia, where this journey commenced under the guidance of Gonzalo Abellán and his team at ICMol. We also express our appreciation to Zubi, a group committed to addressing social and environmental challenges led by Iker Marcaide, as well as to our investors for their unwavering support.

This year, Pactum AI (Estonia) was awarded the Future Unicorn Award. Alongside Matteco, the other finalists for the Future Unicorn Award 2025 included Picus Security (Turkey) and Turbine (Hungary).

We extend our heartfelt thanks to the jury, DIGITALEUROPE, and especially Adigital, for their continuous support.
