The NAIVE project —Neotropical AI-assisted VErtebrate identification through ZooMS—, led by ICTA-UAB and scientifically directed by Dr André Carlo Colonese, Director of Research at the Department of Prehistory and ICTA-UAB, has received an ERC Proof of Concept grant to advance the development of a new solution for the molecular identification of species.

At Imaginae, we are deeply grateful for the trust placed in our team as the project’s technology partner. We will contribute to the design and development of the digital prototype that will support this scientific initiative.

A Project to Transform Species Identification Through AI

NAIVE was created with the aim of transforming the use of ZooMS —Zooarchaeology by Mass Spectrometry— into a faster, more structured and scalable tool for the taxonomic identification of animal remains.

The project combines molecular analysis, mass spectrometry and artificial intelligence to facilitate species identification from fragmented remains or animal-derived products, particularly in contexts where traditional morphological identification methods are insufficient.

This approach could have a significant impact in areas such as biodiversity conservation, archaeological research, the study of historical ecosystems and the fight against the illegal wildlife trade.

Imaginae’s Role

Vertical Imaginae Solutions will focus its contribution on developing the project’s digital prototype, designed to facilitate the management, analysis and interpretation of spectral data through digital technologies and applied artificial intelligence.

The platform will support the development of a more automated, traceable and structured workflow by integrating data-upload capabilities, assisted analysis, confidence indicators and the generation of interpretable results for scientific teams and potential institutional users.

This development is conceived as a technological proof of concept aligned with the project’s scientific objectives and based on a modular approach that will enable future stages of evolution, validation and scalability.

Science, Technology and Environmental Impact

For our team, participating in NAIVE represents a particularly meaningful opportunity to apply our expertise in digital platform development, artificial intelligence and process automation to a project with scientific, environmental and social impact.

Collaboration between advanced research and applied technology is essential to turn scientific knowledge into useful, reproducible and transferable tools. In this regard, NAIVE is an example of how digital innovation can help address major global challenges such as biodiversity loss and the illegal wildlife trade.

At Imaginae, we would like to congratulate Dr André Carlo Colonese, ICTA-UAB and all the collaborating institutions on this recognition, and once again express our gratitude for the opportunity to be part of this project.

Teams are already generating code with AI faster than they have ever written it before. The question is no longer “can I generate it?”, but “can I ship it to production with confidence?”

From Barcelona and London, at Quality Clouds we have just launched Quality Clouds Hub: a platform that analyses your AI-generated code and tells you, in minutes, whether it is production-ready.

Automatic stack detection — paste your repository and Hub detects frameworks and technologies instantly, with no configuration.

Production-Ready Score — a clear score across security, performance, maintainability, scalability, and architecture, built on more than 8 years of enterprise code governance data.

Paste-ready fixes — generates an instructions file for Cursor, Claude Code, or Lovable so your AI agent can fix the issues directly.

It works with any stack and is free to get started — no card, no expiry. We would love the Tech Barcelona community to put it to the test and tell us what they think.

The new company, founded by three technology entrepreneurs, offers AI agents capable of automating administrative, financial and operational processes to increase business productivity.

Barcelona, [30/06/2026].– Artificial intelligence is changing the way companies work, but much of its potential remains untapped in administrative areas. Bakoffice.ai was created to address this challenge: a new company specializing in the development and implementation of artificial intelligence agents to automate back-office processes.

Founded by three entrepreneurs with extensive experience in technology and digital transformation —Diego Sosa, Patrick Synge and Jaume Boada—, Bakoffice.ai helps organizations reduce the time spent on repetitive and administrative tasks, enabling teams to focus on higher value-added activities.

The company develops AI-based solutions capable of integrating with companies’ existing systems to automate processes such as document management, internal support, administrative operations, finance, human resources, procurement and support for different departments.

“Artificial intelligence should not be a tool reserved for large companies, nor should it be limited to conversational assistants. Our goal is to turn it into a work companion capable of executing complete processes in a secure, reliable way, adapted to each company,” explain the founders of Bakoffice.ai.

AI that works alongside people

Bakoffice.ai takes a practical approach to artificial intelligence, focused on generating measurable results from the first weeks of implementation.

Its intelligent agents can interpret documents, access multiple corporate applications, execute tasks, generate reports, answer internal queries and coordinate processes across different systems, while always maintaining human control and supervision when necessary.

This model enables companies to:

Reduce the time required to execute administrative processes.
Decrease errors resulting from manual tasks.
Increase team productivity.
Scale operations without proportionally increasing costs.
Free professionals from repetitive tasks so they can focus on higher-impact decisions.

A market undergoing major transformation

The acceleration of generative artificial intelligence is driving a new stage of business digitalization. More and more organizations are looking to go beyond traditional AI assistants and automate complete processes that, until now, required human intervention.

Bakoffice.ai was created precisely to respond to this need, combining technological expertise, integration with business tools and a results-oriented approach.

The company is beginning its activity by working with companies across different sectors and plans to progressively expand its portfolio of solutions over the coming months.

Walk With Me is a community-led initiative that connects women navigating career or life crossroads with experienced women through thoughtful and meaningful 1:1 conversations while walking outdoors.

The idea is simple: important conversations often happen more naturally when we are moving. A walk through the city, the park, or by the sea can create the space for reflection, perspective, and clarity that traditional settings and networking often don’t provide.

The pilot is intentionally small, curated, and application-based to create the right experience for everyone involved.

What to expect:

• Thoughtful matching based on experience, interests, and goals
• A group of Barcelona-based mentors from diverse professional and life backgrounds
• Low and flexible commitment: approximately 1 or 2 60-minute walks over one month
• Participation in English and Spanish

We are currently looking for:

Women mentors, advisors, leaders, founders, coaches, and career changers who are willing to share their experience.

Women seeking support, perspective, or clarity as they navigate a transition, challenge, decision, or new chapter.

We’d love to hear from you if you’d like to participate as a mentor or mentee.

Applications are open until June 28:

Mentors: Mentor Application Form
Mentees: Mentee Application Form

You can learn more about the concept and the pilot here.
