Spin-offs

Discover ICMAB spin-offs and a collaboration model that connects advanced materials research with industrial development, validation and deployment.

Research-based companies with industrial capabilities

Some ICMAB research groups have created spin-offs that have developed specialised industrial capabilities.

These companies help connect scientific expertise in advanced materials with engineering, production, testing and implementation closer to the market.

A combined research group–spin-off partnership

A company can collaborate with ICMAB through a combined research group–spin-off partnership. This model creates additional value by linking scientific development with capabilities closer to industrial application.

Scientific development

Fundamental and applied research from the ICMAB group.

Industrial capacity

Industrial development and production capacity from the spin-off.

Complementary resources

Access to complementary expertise, facilities and equipment.

Technology transfer

Technology-transfer and intellectual-property opportunities.

Competitive funding

Applications for competitive public funding.

Validation

Prototype development and industrial validation.

When is this model useful?

A group–spin-off tandem can be particularly useful when a project requires both advanced scientific development and capabilities that are closer to the market, such as manufacturing, engineering, certification, integration or commercial deployment.

A connected route
