The Investment Thesis
We are building the technological infrastructure to scale alternative protein production in Europe.
Insect farming doesn't need more isolated farms. It needs technology, standardization, and an industrial model.
Protiberia is developing that model.
The Problem
The Tenebrio molitor sector faces a structural bottleneck
- Non-standardized production processes
- Low operational efficiency
- Difficulty scaling to industrial levels
- Technical barriers for new producers
- Fragmentation between breeding, rearing, and processing
The Opportunity
- Sustained growth in the alternative protein market
- Need for sustainable sources for feed and pet food
- Favorable European regulations
- Structural deficit in local production
Our Solution
Protiberia has developed a model based on three core pillars
Reproductive Biotechnology
Optimization of biological processes to enhance efficiency and production stability.
Proprietary Tech & Machinery
Automation and standardization to reduce operating costs and increase scalability.
Decentralized Farm Network
A coordinated model where each partner specializes under centralized technical support.
This approach allows for:
- Scaling without concentrating all CAPEX in a single facility
- Reducing operational risk
- Geographical replication of the model
Business Model
Protiberia generates revenue through:
Supply of reproductive inputs
Sale of technology and machinery
Consulting services and facility design
Commercialization of derived products
Progressive value chain integration
Hybrid Model: technology + services + production network
Traction
Real-World Validation
Proprietary technology validated within a real-world production environment.
Scalability
Expanding network and production infrastructure currently in the development phase.
Public Support
Active participation in strategic public funding and grant programs.
Leadership
Positioned as a leading national technological player in the Tenebrio molitor sector.

Why Protiberia
Specialization
Exclusive focus on Tenebrio molitor to achieve maximum biotechnological efficiency.
Tech vs. Production
Our value lies in technological development rather than merely in production operations.
Decentralized Model
Drastic reduction of concentration risk and significantly higher operational resilience.
Applied R&D
In-house research capabilities applied directly to industrial scalability.
Structural Vision
We understand the sector from its structural foundation to lead its global evolution.
We are not a farm
We are the architecture that
enables the sector to scale
Investment Opportunity
We are currently in a phase of growth and expansion.
Capital is strategically allocated to the following key pillars
to scale our industrial capacity.
Production Infrastructure
Expansion of production hubs and optimization of state-of-the-art industrial facilities.
Technological Development
Investment in applied R&D for the continuous improvement of biotechnological processes and proprietary intellectual property.
Automation
Implementation of advanced machinery, sensors, and digital control systems to maximize efficiency.
Network Expansion
Scaling the decentralized tech-farm model across national and international markets.
Team Consolidation
Hiring and retaining highly specialized technical talent in engineering and industrial management.
Building the technological foundation
for the new protein era
Protiberia does not compete for immediate volume.
We build the infrastructure that will enable it to multiply.
Shall we discuss how you can participate in this expansion?
