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.
Industrial capabilities developed by spin-offs
The company ecosystem extends the routes through which organisations can work with ICMAB, from materials production and device fabrication to validation and implementation.

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.
