Catalyxx strengthens its commitment to R&D investment and sustainable industrialization in the region.
Catalyxx, a leading technology company in sustainable chemistry, has secured €3 million in debt financing through the “Axon Desarrollo Andalucía” fund, managed by Axon Partners Group, with the support of the European Investment Bank (EIB) and the Regional Government of Andalusia.
This operation will enable Catalyxx to consolidate its presence in Andalusia, with the aim of industrializing its innovative technology and advancing the construction of its first commercial-scale plant. The funds will be allocated to strengthen technological developments at its R&D center in La Rinconada (Seville), as well as to expand the team and create qualified employment in the region.
Innovation and sustainability:
Catalyxx’s technology enables the transformation of bioethanol into high-value chemical intermediates, such as biobutanol, biohexanol, biooctanol, and biodecanol. These products, which are fully renewable and have a negative carbon footprint, offer a sustainable and cost-competitive alternative to fossil-based petrochemicals. This represents a key milestone in the global transition toward decarbonization, competitiveness, and sustainability in the chemical industry.
“This funding represents a decisive boost for our industrial expansion in Andalusia,” stated Joaquín Alarcón, CEO of Catalyxx. “Having the support of the Axon Partners Group fund and the EIB allows us to move forward in our mission to provide sustainable chemical solutions with global impact, from an industrial and technological base rooted in Andalusia.”
Macarena Gonzalez, Investment Manager at Axon Partners Group, added: “Catalyxx is a clear example of the kind of innovative and transformative company we aim to support through the Axon Desarrollo Andalucía fund. Its technology has enormous potential to position the region as a benchmark in the development of sustainable solutions for industry.”
The Axon Desarrollo Andalucía fund seeks to foster the economic and technological development of the region by investing in innovative companies with high growth potential, through both equity and debt instruments.
