Technology Transfer

One of the main missions of ICMAB is to transfer the knowledge acquired to the society. This is achieved by transferring technology to industries, universities and other research centers, through patents, publications, spin-offs, and by establishing different collaborations with them.
  • Collaborations Worlwide

  • Collaborations with Industry

  • Collaborations with Universities and Research Centers

  • Collaborations with Technology Centers:

    • Eurecat: Technology Cener of Catalonia, working in more than 160 projects of applied R&D in the sectors of food, health, energy and resources, industrial systems, sustainable mobility, and cultural issues.  (https://eurecat.org/)
    • Leitat: founded in 1906, Technology Center collaborating with more than 30 countries and developing more than 215 projects in biotechnology, health, advanced materials, industrial chemistry, renewable energies and new production processes. (http://www.leitat.org)
    • LABEIN Tecnalia: created in 1955, one of the major private technology center in Spain, specialized in construction, energy, environment, steel industry, innovation systems and motor industry. (https://www.tecnalia.com/)
  • Collaborations with Technology Platforms and Clusters

    Technology Platforms

    Industry-led stakeholder fora recognised as key actors in driving innovation, knowledge transfer and competitiveness. They develop research and innovation agendas and roadmaps for action at EU and national level to be supported by both private and public funding. By working effectively together, they also help deliver solutions to major challenges of key concern to citizens such as the ageing society, the environment and food and energy security.

    ICMAB participates in the following Technology Platforms:

    National Technology Platforms:
    PTE: Plataforma Tecnologica de la Energía
    Futured: Plataforma Española de Redes Eléctricas ()
    GIA: Grupo Interplataformas de Almacenamiento

    European Technology Platforms:
    EERA: European Energy Research Alliance / Joint Program on Energy Storage / Subprogram SP5: Superconducting Magnetic Energy Storage (Materials, Technology, Applications) Coordinator: X. Granados (CSIC, Spain)

    Clusters

    Advanced Materials Cluster (Clúster MAV)
    Association with the aim of promoting and contributing to the competitiveness of industries and institutions in the Advanced Materials field in Catalunya. It is formed by 35 industries and institutions.
