Where nanoscience meets industry, investors and entrepreneurs.
ICN2 strives to connect fundamental research to the markets that need it. We help researchers protect their discoveries, license technologies, build collaborations with industry, and create new companies that turn nanoscience into products and services.
With the support of the Severo Ochoa Programme, we work alongside companies of every size, from local SMEs to global corporations, and with investors looking for science-driven ventures.
What starts in our labs reaches clinics, factories, smart materials and cleaner energy systems. Each spin-off, license and collaboration is a step from the nanoscale to the things that matter.
Collaboration & Value Propositions
Collaborate with us
We work with companies to turn shared questions into joint research. From public funding partnerships and industrial PhDs to direct sponsorship of specific projects, we shape each collaboration around what your team needs and what our researchers can bring. Our Innovation team is eager to make it happen.
When research produces results with the potential to go further, we help researchers take the next step. We support the creation of spin-off companies from the earliest stages, including pre-seed funding, and stay involved as they grow.
